Apollo 2.5 gallon Pressure Pot w/ Teflon Lining - Single Regulator & Gauge

Part #A4113 – 2.5-Gallon (10-Liter) Deluxe Pressure Pot

Enhanced Efficiency for Turbine Systems

The Apollo 2.5-Gallon Deluxe Pressure Pot offers significant advantages when paired with a turbine system, providing improved comfort, extended spray time, and greater versatility for professional finishing applications.

Apollo makes integration simple with its 4500 and 4550 Fluid Feed Systems — designed to work seamlessly with this pressure pot. (Refer to the Accessories section of this manual for more details.)

Advantages of Using a Pressure Pot

By removing the paint cup from the spray gun, you reduce gun weight by 50%, creating a smaller, lighter, and more maneuverable tool. This makes it easier to reach into tight spaces such as cabinet interiors, corners, and confined areas where a traditional cup gun might not fit.

Using a pressure pot also enables you to spray larger volumes of material without frequent refilling — saving valuable time on extended jobs where you’re applying the same coating continuously.

Easy Setup and Operation

Using a pressure pot with any turbine system is straightforward. You’ll need:

• A pressure pot (such as the A4113)

• A fluid hose

• A small air compressor

When using a remote cup or pressure pot, compressed air must be introduced to pressurize the container and move the coating material from the pot to the spray gun nozzle.

In most cases, 5 PSI (0.345 Bar) of air pressure is sufficient to push average-viscosity coatings to the gun. Higher pressures may be required for thicker materials or when spraying at heights exceeding 6 feet above the pot.

Connection Instructions

1. Attach the Fluid Hose

   • Connect the black fluid hose to the fluid outlet on the top of the pressure pot.

   • Apply Teflon tape to the threads and tighten with a wrench (spanner) to ensure a leak-free seal.

2. Connect the Air Supply

   • Attach the air line from your compressor to the air inlet (located near the regulator and pressure gauge).

   • If your fittings match, pull back the ring on the female quick-connect and insert it into the male connector, releasing the ring to lock it securely.

3. Final Connections

   • Connect the opposite ends of the fluid line and air line to your spray gun and air compressor, respectively.

   • The turbine air hose connects directly to your spray gun as usual.

Tip: Refer to your spray gun instruction manual for detailed setup guidance and best practices.
