Abstract
A clip for frictionally holding an air cap or a fluid tip on a spray gun when a retainer ring is removed and an improved nozzle assembly including the clip. For an air atomization type spray gun, the clip is positioned in a chamber defined between the air cap and the fluid tip for frictionally engaging both the air cap and the fluid tip. For an air assisted airless spray gun, the clip holds the fluid tip on the end of the barrel. The clip temporarily holds the air cap or the fluid tip in place when a retainer ring is removed during assembly or disassembly of the nozzle assembly.
