SATAjet X 5500 HVLP Spray Gun, Standard (Non-Digital) with RPS Cups, 1.2–1.4 mm I/O
SATAjet X 5500 HVLP Spray Gun, Standard (Non-Digital) with RPS Cups, 1.2–1.4 mm I/O
SKU:1061944
SATA's X-nozzle finish gun in HVLP, the technology SATA calls "Extra-Efficient" for its particularly high transfer rates. Choose I or O nozzles in 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 mm. It sprays waterborne or solvent basecoats and 1K/2K clears.
- Recommended inlet pressure
- 29 psi
- Air consumption
- 15.2 cfm
- Spray distance
- 3.9–5.9 in
- Weight with 0.6 L cup
- 19.3 oz
More paint on the panel
- HVLP transfer. Low-pressure technology puts more material on the part and less in the filters.
- X nozzle system. I nozzles for maximum control, O nozzles for higher application speed.
- Listed for base and clear. SATA lists it for water- and solvent-based basecoats and 1K/2K topcoat systems.
- Ready to spray. It ships with RPS 0.6 L and 0.9 L cups on the QCC 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, not at the wall.
- Spray from 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in). That's closer than RP, so reset your distance if you're switching. 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 HVLP?
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 15.2 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.
