<p>A recirculating paint supply system (10) supplies single or multiple paint coatings to paint spray stations (1, 2, 3) arranged in parallel or series relation, each station (1, 2, 3) including manually operated flexible monoline and coaxial conduits (86) to supply paint to a spray gun (88). In one aspect of the invention, the fluid connectors inhibit paint build up which might otherwise contaminate the paint line and include a unique quick disconnect ball valve (118) to inhibit paint splash back, a ball valve (32) having a unique seal (74) for the ball (64), a compression seal arrangement (98) in a flow enabling/disabling H-connector (96), a Y-shaped connector (212) to mix two paint coatings, and a Y-shaped connector (104) to interconnect the supply (100) and recirculating (102) lines to rows of spray stations. In another aspect, unexpected benefits are found from the selective use of glass-filled nylon and stainless steeel components in the fluid connectors.</p> |
