Description
The Techcon 0.046 inch fan air cap assembly is one of the dispensing valve parts used to shape spray output on compatible Techcon spray-valve setups. The fan cap creates a wider pattern than a round cap, which helps cover narrow bands, coating passes, release-agent paths, or lubricant zones with fewer passes. It is a selection and replacement part for teams that tune spray width through cap choice rather than changing the whole valve.
Where these dispensing valve parts fit
Use the 0.046 inch fan cap when the work calls for broader coverage from a controlled spray station. It belongs on fixtures that apply low-viscosity coatings, activators, primers, inks, oils, or release agents to a repeated target area. The cap style matters because the same fluid can look very different through a round cap, a smaller fan cap, or a larger fan cap. Fixture distance, atomizing air, and reservoir pressure also change the final footprint.
The assembly is useful for maintenance teams that keep several cap sizes near a TS5540-style spray valve. A damaged cap can create tails, heavy edges, poor atomization, or an off-center pattern. Replacing the cap restores the intended geometry when the valve body, seat, and controller timing are otherwise working correctly.
How the fan cap shapes spray quality
Install the cap cleanly and verify the pattern before production. Do not tune around dried material or a nicked outlet, because the next clean cap will behave differently. Start with the known setup pressure, then adjust atomizing air and distance after confirming the cap is seated correctly. If the pattern is still too narrow or too heavy at the edges, compare adjacent cap sizes instead of forcing the process outside its normal range.

Ordering details
Order this cap when the spray station needs the 0.046 inch fan pattern, or when a worn cap is making an otherwise stable process drift. Keep notes on cap size, air pressure, distance, and fluid so replacement parts return the station to the same setup.
