TYPES OF INSTALLATION
5/16"
1/4"
NOT RECOMMENDED
Only 34 PSI at gun inlet
25 feet of 1/4" I.D. hose causes
a drop of 26 PSI between the air
supply and the gun.
RECOMMENDED
48 PSI at gun inlet
25 feet of 5/16" I.D. hose causes
a drop of 12 PSI between the air
supply and the gun. For this
reason Binks recommends the use
of 5/16" hose.
WITH 60 PSI APPLIED AT AIR SUPPLY
AIR PRESSURE
Atomizing pressure must be set properly to allow for the drop in air pressure
between the regulator and the spray gun.

An oil and water extractor
is important
.
Achieving a fine spray finish without
the use of a good oil and water
extractor is virtually impossible.
A regulator/extractor serves a double
purpose. It eliminates blistering and
spotting by keeping air free of oil and
water, and it gives
precise air pressure
control at the gun.
Use DeVilbiss oil
and water extractors
and regulators.
See your local
distributor for
models.
Air pressure for atomization is regulated at the extractor. The flow
of the fluid is adjusted by the fluid valve control knob on gun,
viscosity of paint and air pressure.
PRESSURE CUP HOOKUP
(Figure 1)
For fine finishing with limited spraying. Air pressure for
atomization is regulated at extractor; fluid pressure at cup
regulator. Pressure cup is also available less regulator.
PRESSURE TANK WITH 2 REGULATORS
(Figure 2)
The pressure to the tank is regulated by the first regulator. The
pressure for atomization is regulated by the second regulator.
PRESSURE CIRCULATING HOOKUP
(Figure 3)
For heavy production spraying. Air pressure atomization regulated
at extractor. Fluid pressure regulated at fluid regulator.
SIPHON FEED HOOKUP
(Figure 4)
Air pressure for atomization is regulated at extractor. The amount
of fluid is adjusted by fluid control screw on gun, viscosity of
paint, and air pressure.
FLUID PUMP HOOKUP
(Figure 5)
For medium production spraying (single regulator). Air pressure
for atomization is regulated at extractor, fluid pressure at pump
regulator.
