Abstract: A paint spray nozzle is provided for a paint spray system. The nozzle includes a single-piece body having a conduit portion. The conduit portion includes a first surface defining a first passage that terminates at an orifice along a longitudinal axis and a second surface that defines a second passage along the longitudinal axis. The second passage is fluidly connected to the orifice. The orifice is configured to direct the paint to flow along a flow path through the second passage. The second surface defines an inlet cross-sectional width positioned at the orifice and an outlet cross-sectional width positioned at an outlet. The outlet cross-sectional width is larger than the inlet cross-sectional width, such that the paint that deposits on the second surface is positioned relative to the longitudinal axis to be re-absorbed into the flow path of the paint.
