AZ1 HTE 2S SUCTION

What is the AZ1 HTE 2S Suction spray gun and why choose it

The Iwata AZ1 HTE 2S Suction is a professional compressed air spray gun designed for the application of paints, lacquers and other products that can be atomized on suitable surfaces. It is a suction-feed model that works with the AG-1 1 litre aluminium pin lock cup, offering reliable material delivery and precise control of fluid output and spray pattern. Built under the AIRGUNSA concept, it combines stable atomization with a robust, serviceable construction, making it suitable for intensive workshop and industrial use where consistent spray quality and straightforward maintenance are required.

Main features

• Suction-feed configuration: uses the AG-1 1 litre aluminium pin lock cup connected to the G3/8" fluid nipple for convenient material replenishment.
• HTE technology: designed for efficient atomization with reduced atomizing air pressure, according to the recommendations in the technical data.
• Internal mix spray gun: suitable for applying paints, lacquers and other compressed‑air atomizable products on compatible surfaces.
• Adjustable fluid output and pattern width: separate fluid adjustment knob and pattern adjustment set allow fine control of material flow and spray fan size.
• Air adjustment set: integrated air regulator on the gun body helps match atomizing pressure to the product and working conditions.
• Durable construction: metal gun body with replaceable air cap, fluid nozzle, needle and seals for long service life.
• Compliant safety design: gun conforms to ATEX 2014/34/EU, protection level II 2 G X, suitable for use in Zones 1 and 2 when correctly grounded via conductive air hose.
• Ergonomic trigger: designed to reduce fatigue, with guidance to rest regularly to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome during prolonged use.

Applications and use cases

The AZ1 HTE 2S Suction spray gun is intended for the application of paints, lacquers and other products that can be atomized by means of compressed air on all surfaces suitable to receive this type of treatment. It is designed for use in well‑ventilated areas, ideally in a spray booth, and can be employed in workshops and industrial environments where controlled, repeatable spray patterns and suction‑feed operation are required.

FAQ

1. What is the maximum working pressure of the AZ1 HTE 2S Suction?

   The maximum working air pressure is 7.0 bar (100 PSI).

2. What type of cup does this spray gun use?

   It uses the AG-1 1 litre aluminium pin lock suction cup, connected to the G3/8" fluid nipple.

3. What air connection does the gun require?

   The spray gun is equipped with a G1/4" M air nipple for the air hose connection.

4. What materials can be sprayed with the AZ1 HTE 2S Suction?

   It is designed for paints, lacquers and other products that can be atomized by compressed air on compatible surfaces.

5. Is the spray gun suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres?

   Yes, the gun complies with ATEX 2014/34/EU and has protection level II 2 G X, suitable for Zones 1 and 2 when correctly grounded through a conductive air hose.

6. How should the spray distance be set?

   The recommended distance from the gun to the workpiece is approximately 100–250 mm (3.9–9.8 in).

7. What routine maintenance is required?

   After each use, flush the fluid passages with a compatible cleaner, clean the air cap, fluid nozzle and needle carefully without scratching the orifices, and avoid immerging the complete gun in solvent.

8. Can the gun be used with food or chemical products?

   No. The manual explicitly states that the gun must not be used to spray foods or chemicals.

9. What should I do if the gun leaks or the spray pattern is defective?

   Typical actions include checking and cleaning the fluid nozzle and air cap, inspecting seals and packings, tightening loose parts such as the fluid adjustment knob and nozzle, and replacing worn components as indicated in the troubleshooting section of the manual.

10. Does the gun generate a high noise level?

    The measured noise level is 77.6 dB(A). The use of individual hearing protection is recommended because workplace conditions may increase overall noise exposure.

Section 8 – Personal protective measures

When using the AZ1 HTE 2S Suction spray gun, the following personal protective measures are indicated in the manual:

• Use the gun only in well‑ventilated areas, preferably in a spray booth, to avoid organic solvent poisoning and fire risk.
• Always wear suitable protective gear: safety glasses, mask and gloves to avoid inflammation and irritation of eyes and skin.
• Use individual hearing protection, since overall noise in the work area can increase the daily exposure beyond recommended levels.
• Ensure the spray gun is correctly grounded using a conductive air hose (resistance less than 1 MΩ) to safely discharge static electricity.
• Avoid prolonged continuous trigger operation; take regular breaks to reduce the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methyl chloride, dichloromethane, 1.2-dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene and 1.1.1‑trichloroethane, as these can damage the aluminium gun body.
