DeVilbiss Advance HD Gravity Feed HVLP Spray Gun Kit (ADV-G506-14)
The DeVilbiss Advance HD Gravity Feed HVLP Spray Gun Kit (ADV-G506-14) is a mid-sized industrial spray gun built for finishing applications with HVLP compliant atomization, low air consumption, and controlled fluid output. This kit includes the Advance HD gravity-feed gun body with the No. 506 HVLP air cap, 1.4mm stainless steel fluid tip and needle, and a 568mL standard gravity cup — ready to spray out of the box. The air-efficient 506 HVLP cap paired with the 1.4mm nozzle delivers fine atomization and smooth film builds through a focused pattern — a refined configuration for light to medium-viscosity coatings where finish quality, material efficiency, and low compressed air demand are all priorities.
What's in the Kit
The ADV-G506-14 ships with the Advance HD gravity-feed gun body, No. 506 HVLP air cap, 1.4mm stainless steel fluid tip and needle, and a 568mL standard gravity cup (GFC-501). The gun features a 1/4" universal thread air inlet and a 3/8" universal thread fluid inlet (both accept BSP and NPS connectors). Optional accessories include the blue polyester gravity cup for difficult fluids (GFC-511), DeKups disposable cup adapter, stainless steel fluid filter kit (VSA-512), and tungsten carbide or hardened tips and needles for abrasive materials. Hardened and tungsten carbide options are available in the 1.4mm size.
No. 506 HVLP Air Cap Performance
The No. 506 HVLP air cap operates at a recommended inlet pressure of 19 psi (1.3 bar) with an air consumption of 10.6 scfm (300 L/min) and produces a typical fan pattern of approximately 305mm (12.0"). The 506 is the most air-efficient HVLP cap in the Advance HD gravity range — it delivers full HVLP-compliant atomization at significantly lower air consumption than the high-capacity 507. The 1.4mm fluid tip produces a high air-to-fluid ratio with the 506's focused fan, resulting in fine atomization and controlled film builds. The more compact 305mm pattern provides precise material placement that is well-suited for smaller parts, narrower surfaces, detail work, and applications where the 507's wide 400mm fan would create unnecessary overspray. This configuration excels on finish topcoats, light enamels, sealers, lacquers, and medium-viscosity coatings where surface quality matters most. The 506's low 10.6 scfm air demand makes it ideal for shops with limited compressor capacity or multi-gun setups sharing a single air supply.
Why Gravity Feed
Gravity-feed spray guns use a top-mounted cup that delivers material to the gun body by gravity. This format offers quick color changes, easy cleanup, and efficient material use — the cup drains completely with minimal waste. The included 568mL gravity cup provides practical capacity for mid-size production runs, touch-up work, and applications where multiple colors are cycled throughout the day.

Built for High-Demand Industrial Finishing
The Advance HD achieves superior atomization through high-capacity air passages and a separate balanced air valve that provides unrestricted airflow through the gun body. The heavily anodized aluminum alloy construction is built for durability in demanding production environments. Stainless steel fluid tips, needles, and passageways come standard for compatibility with both solvent-based and waterborne materials. The gun is CE marked and fully ATEX approved for use in hazardous atmospheres.
Ergonomic Design for Reduced Operator Fatigue
The Advance HD features a contoured handle design that greatly reduces RSI and operator fatigue during extended spray sessions. Increased finger space, lighter trigger pull tension, reduced trigger travel, and a self-adjusting PTFE needle packing assembly all contribute to a gun that is comfortable to use shift after shift. The built-in air inlet adjuster "cheater" valve provides at-the-gun pressure control for quick adjustments without leaving the spray area.
