"Airless spray" or "Air-assisted airless spray" means any coating spray technology that relies solely on the fluid pressure of the coating to create an atomized coating spray pattern and does not apply any atomizing compressed air to the coating before it leaves the coating nozzle. Air-assisted airless spray uses compressed air to shape and distribute the fan of atomized coating, but still uses fluid pressure to create the atomized coating.
"Appurtenance" means any accessory to a stationary structure coated at the site of installation, whether installed or detached, including but not limited to: bathroom and kitchen fixtures; cabinets; concrete forms; doors; elevators; fences; hand railings; heating equipment, air conditioning equipment, and other fixed mechanical equipment or stationary tools; lamp posts; partitions; pipes and piping systems; rain gutters and downspouts; stairways, fixed ladders, catwalks, and fire escapes; and window screens.

A single surface coating operation may include any combination of these types of equipment, but always includes at least the point at which a coating material is applied to a given part or product. A miscellaneous parts or products surface coating operation includes all other steps (such as surface preparation with solvent and equipment cleaning) in the affected source where HAPs are emitted from the coating of a part or product. The use of solvent to clean parts or products (for example, to remove grease during a mechanical repair) does not constitute a miscellaneous parts or products surface coating operation if no coatings are applied. A single affected source may have multiple miscellaneous parts or products surface coating operations. Surface coatings applied to wood, leather, rubber, ceramics, stone, masonry, or substrates other than metal and plastic are not considered miscellaneous parts or products surface coating operations for the purposes of 14.0 of this regulation.
