FACTORY-AUTHORIZED BINKS DISTRIBUTOR

Binks ASME Code Paint Pressure Tanks

Factory-authorized Binks distributor carrying the complete Binks ASME-code pressure tank lineup — 2-gallon PT Series through 60-gallon production tanks, galvanized and stainless steel, with agitator and bottom-outlet configurations. All tanks built to ASME code and NFPA 33 standards. Ships same-day from Metro Detroit.

Binks has built paint pressure tanks for industrial finishing since 1890, and every tank in the current lineup is manufactured to ASME pressure-vessel code — the standard referenced by NFPA 33, OSHA, your fire marshal, and most commercial insurance underwriters. CET stocks the complete Binks pressure tank catalog: the compact PT Series 2-gallon tanks for small-batch and touch-up work, the 183G galvanized and 183S stainless series in 2-through-15-gallon sizes for general production, and the 30-and-60-gallon tanks for line striping, multi-gun feeds, and high-volume production. Every tank is available with single or double regulation, with or without agitation, in top-outlet or bottom-outlet configurations.

Which Binks pressure tank do I need?

Sizing comes down to three questions: how much coating you spray per shift, whether you're using a plural-component (2K) material with a limited pot life, and what viscosity/chemistry you're spraying. For plural-component work, undersize the tank to match your pot life — buying a 30-gallon tank for a 1-hour pot life material wastes 25 gallons of material every time you mix.

Why ASME-certified pressure tanks are the industrial standard

NFPA 33 compliance
NFPA 33 — the National Fire Protection Association's standard for spray application of flammable and combustible materials — requires ASME-certified pressure vessels in commercial spray operations. Your fire marshal, OSHA inspector, and insurance underwriter all reference NFPA 33. A non-ASME pressure pot is a compliance failure waiting to happen.
 
OSHA and insurance underwriter expectations
Most commercial insurance policies covering spray operations require ASME-code equipment. A failure report on a non-ASME pressure vessel can void coverage on an entire claim. ASME certification is documented, traceable, and stamped on every Binks tank.
 
Pressure rating you can rely on
ASME code requires pressure vessels to be tested to 1.3× their rated working pressure. A 110 psi Binks 183G tank has been tested to 143 psi before leaving the factory. Commodity pressure pots without ASME certification typically have no documented test regimen at all.
 
Material traceability
ASME-code manufacturing requires documented material certifications, weld qualifications, and inspector stamping. If a Binks tank needs service or warranty review years later, the material documentation is available. Non-ASME tanks have no such records.

Binks pressure tank accessories & support

Bottom outlet kits (183-3000 for 2-gal, 183-3001 for 5/10/15 gal, 83-4229/83-4230 for 30/60 gal) convert top-outlet tanks for high-viscosity materials or easier drain/cleanup at the end of a run.

Air control assemblies (85-470 through 85-493) replace or upgrade regulation setups on 183G/183S tanks. The 85-469 single-to-double regulator conversion kit field-upgrades any 183G or 183S single-regulated tank to double regulation without replacing the tank.

Solvent Saver Tank (183-GZ-5200) is a 2-gallon tank that injects air into the solvent flush stream, reducing solvent consumption dramatically on color changes. Most shops running multiple colors per day recover the tank cost within 6–12 months on solvent savings alone.

Fluid All™ and Ergoflex™ hoses (71-3303 fluid, 71-31101 air) in 3/8" ID, 25 ft lengths — compatible with solventborne and waterborne coatings.

Disposable liners (PT-78-K60 for 2-gal PT; PTL-408-K20 for 5-gal; PTL-412-K8 for 10-gal; PTL-415-K10 for 15-gal) eliminate cleanup between color changes.

Stainless steel liners for 30/60 gal galvanized shells — 83-1569 (30 gal top outlet), 83-1581 (60 gal top outlet), 83-2230 (30 gal bottom outlet), 83-2229 (60 gal bottom outlet) — convert a galvanized shell into a waterborne-compatible system.

Frequently asked questions

What is an ASME code paint pressure tank?▸
An ASME code paint pressure tank is a pressure vessel manufactured to American Society of Mechanical Engineers standards for pressure equipment — specifically, tested to 1.3× its rated working pressure, built with documented material certifications and qualified welds, and stamped by an authorized ASME inspector. NFPA 33 (the fire protection standard for spray application) and most commercial insurance underwriters require ASME-certified tanks for commercial spray operations. All Binks pressure tanks carry ASME certification.
Do I need an ASME-certified pressure tank for my shop?▸
If your shop is commercial (not hobbyist) and you carry liability insurance, almost certainly yes. OSHA, your fire marshal, and NFPA 33 all reference ASME code for pressure vessels used in spray operations. A non-ASME tank can fail a safety inspection, void insurance coverage on a claim, and create personal liability exposure for the shop owner. CET does not sell non-ASME pressure tanks — every Binks tank we carry is ASME-certified.
What size paint pressure tank do I need?▸
Pressure tank size depends on your coating consumption per shift and whether you're using a plural-component (2K) material. For single-component coatings, match the tank size to your shift consumption — up to 5 gal/shift choose 2 or 5 gallon, up to 15 gal/shift choose 15 gallon, up to 60 gal/shift choose 60 gallon. For plural-component materials, size the tank to your pot life so you don't mix more material than you can use before cure. See the selection guide on this page for the complete Binks sizing recommendation.
What's the difference between galvanized and stainless steel Binks pressure tanks?▸
Galvanized (183G) tanks work for most solventborne coatings and cost less. Stainless steel (183S) tanks are the right choice for waterborne coatings, high-acid primers, and any coating where rust contamination from the tank wall would be a QA problem. Both the 183G and 183S series share the same capacities (2/5/10/15 gal), pressure rating (110 psi), and regulation/agitator options — the difference is the material in contact with the coating. You can also add a disposable liner to a 183G tank for occasional waterborne work.
Do I need an agitator on my pressure tank?▸
Only if your coating needs one. Stable, well-dispersed solventborne paints and coatings that sit for short periods usually don't need agitation. You DO need an agitator for: waterborne coatings (which settle quickly), high-viscosity materials, metallic or mica-flake finishes (which re-orient when idle), plural-component materials you want to keep mixed, and any coating where air entrainment during loading is a concern. For most industrial work, a 15:1 gear-reduced agitator is the safer choice over direct drive — gentler on the coating, less air whip-in, quieter.
What's a bottom outlet kit and when do I need one?▸
A bottom outlet kit routes the fluid hose out the bottom of the tank instead of through the lid, and adds mounting legs so the tank sits elevated. You want a bottom outlet when (1) you're running high-viscosity material that doesn't flow well up a dip tube, (2) you want to minimize material waste at the end of a run, or (3) you're using high-cost coatings where you need to drain the last 1–2 oz cleanly. Binks bottom outlet kits are available for all 183G/183S (183-3000 for 2-gal, 183-3001 for 5/10/15 gal) and 30/60 gallon tanks (83-4229/83-4230).
Can I convert a single-regulated Binks tank to double-regulated later?▸
Yes. The Binks 85-469 single-to-double regulator conversion kit field-upgrades any 183G or 183S single-regulated tank to double regulation (0–100 psi fluid plus 0–60 psi atomizing air). You don't need to replace the whole tank. Many shops start with single regulation and upgrade once they start spraying more complex materials or multiple guns off one tank.
What is a "plural component" coating and why does tank size matter?▸
Plural-component (also called 2K, two-component, or multi-component) coatings are materials that cure after being mixed — epoxies, catalyzed polyurethanes, some conversion varnishes. Once mixed, the coating has a limited "pot life" — the time before it begins to cure and becomes unusable. If you mix 30 gallons of material into a 30-gallon tank but your pot life is only 1 hour, you'll waste whatever you can't spray in that hour. For plural-component work, undersize the tank to match your pot life; refill as needed.
How do I reduce solvent consumption on color changes?▸
Binks makes a Solvent Saver Tank (part 183-GZ-5200) specifically for this. It's a 2-gallon tank that injects air into the solvent stream during flushing, creating alternating slugs of air and solvent. The turbulence cleans the line with significantly less solvent than a continuous flow. Shops running multiple colors per day typically recover the tank cost within 6–12 months on solvent savings alone — plus reduce hazardous waste generation.
Can I put a paint pail inside a Binks pressure tank?▸
Yes, and it's a common setup for easy color changes. The 2-gallon tanks accept a 1-gallon pail; the 5/10/15 gallon tanks accept a 5-gallon pail. Drop the pail in, clamp the lid, spray from the pail, pull the pail out when you're done. Combined with a disposable liner (PT-78-K60 for 2-gal, PTL-408-K20 for 5-gal, etc.), color changes require almost no cleanup.
Are Binks pressure tanks compatible with my existing hoses and spray guns?▸
The standard fluid outlet on Binks pressure tanks is 3/8" NPT(M), and bottom-outlet configurations use 3/4" NPT(M) or NPS(M) connections. Air inlet is 1/4" NPT(M). This matches the standard fluid/air fittings on Binks, DeVilbiss, C.A. Technologies, Walther Pilot, and most other professional spray gun hoses, so the tank will integrate with whatever setup you're running. CET stocks matching Binks Fluid All™ and Ergoflex™ hoses if you need to refresh them.
