Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to fluid spraying devices and systems and more specifically, but not by limitation, to a fluid intake assembly configured to be used with a remote fluid source to supply fluid material from the remote fluid source to a fluid sprayer. In one example, a fluid intake assembly for a fluid sprayer is provided. The assembly includes an inlet tube providing at least a portion of a fluid path between a remote fluid source and the fluid sprayer. The assembly also includes a fluid flow control mechanism configured to allow a flow of fluid material in the fluid path in a first direction and restrict a flow of fluid material in the fluid path in a second, opposite direction. In one example, the fluid flow control mechanism comprises a valve mechanism.
