Anti-sputter fluid flow control apparatus for paint sprayers

An anti-sputter fluid flow control apparatus, comprising:

• a valve body;
• said valve body having an intake port, a central channel and an output port;
• a valve seat disposed within said central channel;
• a biased valve head;
• said valve head configured to allow fluid to flow between said intake port and said output port when the pressure of said fluid is sufficient to overcome the bias on said valve head;
• said valve head configured to engage said valve seat when the pressure of the flow of fluid drops to a level insufficient to overcome the bias on said valve head;
• and
• means for increasing and decreasing the bias on said valve head.
