Today’s clean air requirements are more critical than ever. Air tools, blow driers, HVLP spray guns, and supplied air respirators may require more air volume and better air quality than needed in the past. Not only does clean air effect equipment performance, but it is also critical for paint coatings performance. Dan-Am Air, along with SATA filtration can solve all of these issues.
Dan-Am Air is lightweight, aircraft grade, powder coated aluminum, which provides clean, dry air up to 232 psi. The reinforced composite Nylon fittings have dual seals, which rest on un-scraped pipe, providing a leak free guarantee. Our Press-to-Connect fittings feature a full bore design for turbulence free air delivery. This quick, instant connection eliminates the need to thread, solder or glue, accounting for far less installation times than traditional copper or black pipe.

The accurate and correct setting of the gun inlet pressure is one of the key requirements to ensure perfect color match during the painting process. Whether the pressure is set too low or too high, color deviations will be the undesired result. The consequences are unnecessary rework disrupting the efficient work flow. "Incorrect inlet pressure" can be prevented by using SATA digital spray guns or the accessories SATA adam 2 and SATA adam 2 U.
The SATA adam 2 is the compact retrofit solution for SATA spray guns: It consists of two components: The SATA adam 2 dock replaces the air micrometer of the spray gun, allowing quick and precise adjustment of the spray gun inlet pressure. The second component, the SATA adam 2 display, is safely fitted to the "dock" by a simple sliding action and can be removed in no time at all – for example before cleaning the spray gun in a gun washing machine or to use the "display" on another spray gun with pre-mounted "dock".

Often consumers are faced with trying to replicate the OE brake hose assembly. The most common solution is to use adapters on a “universal” #3 JIC brake hose. This approach is cumbersome, looks unprofessional, and introduces unnecessary leak points.

With a custom BrakeQuip hose, there’s no settling for anything less than OE quality. Ensure that you’ll have exactly what you need.

BrakeQuip provides

• Hundreds of OE-style loose fittings
• Bulk DOT-compliant rubber and 5 colors of stainless steel brake hose
• Any desired brake hose length, crimped with the right fittings for a perfect OE fit
• Every brake hose assembly is pressure tested to 3,000 psi

SATA has changed the look of the RPS cup packaging to update and tie it in with the rest of SATA's branding. The package sizes were changed so the RPS 0.6L and RPS 0.9L packages are now the same dimensions as well as the 0.3L Standard 100 count box.
The RPS 0.3L minijet and RPS 0.3L Standard 40 count packages set side by side are the same size as the larger cup packages providing ease and uniformity when stacking and shipping logistics.
Another change SATA made was cup quantity. Quantities changed just slightly for a few of the cases, the RPS 0.3L minijet and RPS 0.9L cups stayed the same, the RPS 0.6L standard and RPS 0.6L UV went from 57 to 60, the RPS 0.3L Standard changed so now there are two different size options 40 count or 100 count depending on usage the painter now has options.
