This Standard version with 1.2 mm Nozzle is suitable for jobs where productivity, consistency and finish quality are essential. It is particularly suited to the application of body Clearcoat, primers and finishing products requiring a stable spray. The SATAjet X 5500 RP spray gun provides good fan width, controlled deposit and a tight finish.
The SATAjet X 5500 RP also stands out for its ease of use. Its ergonomic design, optimised airflow and reduced noise level make application more pleasant in the cab. The two-part air cap makes for easy cleaning, while the X nozzle system allows the spray pattern to be adapted to the paint profile and habits of the painter.
Features of the Sata spray gun
1.2 mm Nozzle for Clearcoat, Primer and Finish
The 1.2 mm Nozzle offers a good compromise between flow rate, spray fineness and control. It enables Clearcoats to be applied evenly, while maintaining good control over the layer thickness. This configuration is also suitable for certain primers and finishing products, depending on their viscosity and the recommendations of the paint system used.
RP technology for fast application
The SATAjet X 5500's RP technology is designed for professionals looking for fast, efficient application. It allows you to work at high speed, while maintaining a precise spray pattern. For a body shop, this technology helps to improve productivity without neglecting the quality of the final finish.
X nozzle system
The SATAjet X 5500 uses a wide range of Nozzles to suit the painter and the type of product being applied. I" type nozzles offer an elongated spray pattern with a shorter fog zone and a drier core. O" type Nozzles offer a more oval spray pattern, with a wider fog zone and a wetter core. This logic allows you to adjust control, application speed and layer thickness.
Comfort, cleaning and ergonomics
The SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard is designed to make daily work in the cab easier. The two-part air cap makes cleaning quicker. The optimised airflow geometry in the gun body reduces noise levels and gives a smoother application feel. Its ergonomic handle and accessible settings make repeated applications easy.

Using the SATAjet X 5500
The SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard 1.2 mm Nozzle is mainly used for applying body Clearcoats, primers and topcoats. Before application, the substrate must be properly prepared, sanded, cleaned and degreased. Clearcoat, primer, hardener or thinner must be mixed according to the recommendations of the manufacturer of the product applied.
For optimum application in the workshop, the technical data sheet indicates a working pressure of 1.8 to 2.0 bar and a spraying distance of 12 to 19 cm. The SATA leaflet also indicates an RP range of 0.5 to 2.4 bar, with a recommended RP distance of 17 to 21 cm. These settings must be adapted to the product used, the booth conditions and the desired result.
When applying Clearcoat or Primer, it is important to maintain a regular spray pattern, a steady distance and constant coverage. The 1.2 mm Nozzle ensures an even deposit, which is useful for limiting defects in appearance and improving the quality of the finish. The choice of Nozzle type X, "I" or "O", allows the spray pattern to be adapted to the level of control or speed of application required.
After use, the gun must be cleaned with care. The two-part air cap makes this easy. Regular cleaning of the Nozzle, Needle, Air Cap and Fluid Circuit will maintain spray quality, accuracy and durability.
Advantages of the SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard
The first advantage of the SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard 1.2 mm Nozzle is its speed of application. RP technology ensures effective coverage of surfaces, while maintaining an even spray pattern. For bodybuilders, this saves time on Clearcoat, Primer and topcoat applications.
The 1.2 mm Nozzle provides a good balance between flow and finesse. It enables an even layer to be applied, with good control over the film applied. This precision is essential to achieve a glossy, even and long-lasting finish on bodywork components.
The X nozzle system allows the spray gun to be adapted to the painter's profile. An "I" Nozzle provides greater control and precision, while an "O" Nozzle provides faster application with a wetter centre. This flexibility helps to better respond to working habits and the requirements of modern products.
User comfort is also a strong point. Optimised airflow, reduced noise levels, simplified cleaning and ergonomic design make the SATAjet X 5500 RP a pleasure to use in the workshop. For repeated applications, this design helps to reduce fatigue and maintain consistent quality.
Why choose the SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard 1.2 mm Nozzle?
Choosing the SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard 1.2 mm nozzle means opting for a professional paint spray gun that focuses on productivity, precision and quality of finish. It is ideal for workshops that regularly apply Clearcoats, Primers and bodywork finishing products.
With its RP technology, 1.2 mm nozzle, X-nozzle system and easy cleaning, this SATA gun meets the needs of body repairers looking for fast application, a consistent finish and high reliability.
