The Right Choice of Air Cap for Your Devilbiss Spray Gun: A Comprehensive Guide
Everything you need to know for the optimal air cap choice with Devilbiss.
Learn moreAir Caps for Spray Guns
Find air caps for HVLP, LVMP/Airmix and AirCoat as well as airless guards. From I-/O caps (e.g., SATAjet X5500) to cap sets and hole patterns to air consumption and pressure ranges – we match the cap to the nozzle/needle, medium, and desired appearance.
Application & Benefits
Reproducible surfaces through suitable hole pattern and fan shape, less overspray thanks to coordinated air consumption/pressure, clean edges for spot to clear coat work, and consistent film thicknesses in line and workshop.
Technology & Settings
I-/O fans: I = focused/defined, O = soft/even. Hole pattern & air channels determine fan width and edge profile. Pressure ranges depend on cap and gun (HVLP/LVMP/Airmix) – air quality secured via water/oil separators and fine filters. Always coordinate with nozzle/needle and medium.
Accessories & Integration
Air caps & cap sets, nozzles/needles (matched), guards (airless), regulators/gauges, air preparation as well as cleaning & testing tools. We perform a compatibility check and integration into your workshop/ line.
Advantages at a Glance
- Tailored fan shape (I/O, Airmix) for your medium

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions about Air Caps
What is an air cap and what is it used for?
The air cap shapes the spray pattern on spray guns (HVLP, LVMP/Airmix). Through hole pattern and air supply, narrow or wide fans with a defined edge profile are created; in airless systems, tip guards protect the nozzle and ensure the fan geometry.
How do I choose the right air cap (e.g. I-/O-caps)?
I-caps generate a focused, defined fan for precise edges and controlled film thicknesses. O-caps provide a softer, more even pattern for homogeneous surfaces. Selection depends on the medium, viscosity, nozzle size, desired appearance and manufacturer approvals.
Which parameters influence the result with the air cap?
Hole pattern, air consumption and pressure at the gun determine fan width, edge definition and overspray. Proper air preparation (water/oil separators, fine filters) and matched nozzle/needle are crucial for reproducibility and surface quality.
For which manufacturers are air caps available?
We supply air caps and cap sets for SATA, DeVilbiss, Anest Iwata, Graco (AirPro/G40), Walther Pilot, Krautzberger, Binks, Sagola, Sames, Ecco, WIWA and Wagner – including advice on compatibility, pressure ranges and recommended nozzle configuration.
