SATAjet X 5500 RP Spray Gun, Standard (Non-Digital) with RPS Cups, 1.2–1.4 mm I/O
SKU:1061613
SATA's X-nozzle finish gun in RP, its speed technology. Choose the I nozzle for control or the O nozzle for speed, in 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 mm. It sprays waterborne and solvent-based paint systems on just 10.2 cfm.
- Recommended inlet pressure
- 29 psi
- Air consumption
- 10.2 cfm
- Spray distance
- 6.7–8.3 in
- Weight with 0.6 L cup
- 19.3 oz
Built for fast, controlled finish work
- X nozzle system. The first SATA gun with I and O nozzle choices in both RP and HVLP. SATA says it copes with all paint systems and application recommendations.
- Easy on air. 10.2 cfm at 29 psi, a third less than the HVLP version.
- Whispering nozzle. SATA says its flow geometry noticeably reduces noise.
- Ready to spray. It ships with RPS 0.6 L and 0.9 L cups on the QCC quick-change connection.
Pick your fan: I (Control) or O (Speed)
- I nozzle. A parallel, elongated fan with a minimal dry zone and a drier center, for maximum control. It builds slightly less film per coat.
- O nozzle. An oval fan with a wet core and a larger fade-out zone, for higher application speed.
- Size is flow, not fan width. Going from 1.2 to 1.4 mm moves more material. Match it to your coating maker's data sheet.
How to set it up
- Run an antistatic, solvent-resistant hose with at least a 9 mm (about 3/8 in) inside diameter, and filter your air. SATA specifies both in the manual.
- Fill the cup no higher than 20 mm (about 3/4 in) below the rim and lock it onto the QCC connection.
- Open the material flow control and the air micrometer fully. Then pull the trigger all the way and set 2.0 bar (29 psi) at the gun inlet. A SATA adam 2 or a gun-mounted gauge is more accurate than the wall regulator.
- Spray from 17–21 cm (6.7–8.3 in). Pull the trigger fully on every pass.
- Clean it nozzle-down with a neutral cleaner (pH 6–8), keeping air flowing through the gun. Never soak it and never use an ultrasonic cleaner. Blow it dry when you're done.

FAQ
RP or HVLP: why RP?
SATA calls RP "the Extra-Fast": high-pressure technology for maximum working speed with VOC-compliant transfer rates. HVLP is "the Extra-Efficient": low-pressure technology for particularly high transfer rates. It needs more air and a closer spray distance.
How big a compressor do I need?
The gun alone uses 10.2 cfm (at 29 psi inlet). Size for that delivered air plus headroom for your hose, filters and anything else running. SATA also specifies a hose with at least 9 mm (3/8 in) inside diameter.
What comes with it?
SATA lists the gun with two RPS multi-purpose cups, one 0.6 L and one 0.9 L.
Does it spray waterborne?
Yes. SATA lists the X 5500 for water-based and solvent-based paint systems. Follow your paint maker's data sheet for the nozzle size.
Is there a warranty?
SATA offers a free extension to 3 years on spray guns through its Premium Warranty, which you activate online with the gun's serial number. It covers material and manufacturing defects. Wear parts and electronic components are excluded.
