Techcon TS5540-014F Spray Valve, 0.014 Inch Fan Cap

Description

The Techcon TS5540-014F is a stainless steel spray dispensing valve with a 0.014 in fan cap. It is built for controlled spray application of low viscosity materials where a brush, open nozzle, or manual aerosol pattern would be too variable. The compact body, adjustable fluid flow, and separate atomizing air control make it useful for coatings, activators, lubricants, inks, marking fluids, and other fluids that need a repeatable spray footprint on an automated or semi-automated station.

Where this dispensing valve fits

The TS5540 family is used when the process needs a controlled spray cycle rather than a bead or dot. Pre-spray, atomizing air, and post-spray timing can be adjusted through the matching controller, so the valve starts cleanly, lays down the intended pattern, and clears the nozzle at the end of the cycle. That control helps reduce dry starts, tails, and uneven edge build on repeated parts.

The 0.014 in fan cap is the reason to choose this SKU over the other TS5540 variants. A fan pattern covers a wider strip per pass and is useful for narrow bands, edge coating, release-agent work, and light lubricant coverage. Matching the cap to the part geometry matters as much as matching the fluid pressure. Small changes in nozzle distance, atomizing air, and reservoir pressure can change the spray edge, so this valve belongs in a setup where operators confirm pattern width before the run begins.

How the dispensing valve controls spray quality

This valve uses a 1/8 in NPT female fluid inlet, a spray cap outlet, and a 10-32 UNF auxiliary air inlet. It is rated for 70 psi minimum activation pressure and 100 psi maximum fluid pressure, with a viscosity range of 1 to 5,000 cps. The 1/4-20 mounting port lets fixture builders place the valve in a stable position over a conveyor, rotary table, or nested part.

Wetted parts include 303 stainless steel, Teflon, and Delrin. Positive shut-off, adjustable flow, and the replaceable seat design help the valve stay serviceable through repeated production cycles. Keep the cap clean, use filtered air, and confirm the spray pattern during setup after changing fluids or reservoir pressure.
