1. INTRODUCTION
The TS1258 Pressure Pot offers a convenient, easy to use system for dispensing
cyanoacrylates, as well as many solvents, lubricants and other low to medium viscosity materials
directly from the material container/bottle. Air pressure in the chamber forces the material from
the container/bottle through a disposable polyethylene supply tubing to an optional dispensing
valve. An air pressure regulator and pressure gauge control the material flow rate with the
dispense quantity being controlled by the length of time the dispense valve is open.
No cleaning operation is required after a dispensing, because there is no direct contact of
dispense material to the Pressure Pot and tube fittings. The polyethylene tubing may be discarded
after use.
To obtain maximum performance, read and follow these instructions carefully before
operating.

Read the material safety data sheets for special precautions for the
specific material being dispensed. Wear protective safety equipment
as specified in the material safety data sheets.
2. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
2.1 Connector and Tubing Installation
1. Select dispense size Tubing and Male Connector with Ferrule.
3 combination sizes are available:
i. Tube 3/8” diameter, and Male Connector 3/8” X 3/8-18NPT with 3/8” Ferrule.
ii. Tube 1/4" diameter, and Male Connector 1/4" X 3/8-18NPT with 1/4" Ferrule.
iii. Tube 4mm diameter, Male Connector 4mm X 1/4 –18NPT with 4mm Ferrule,
and Reducer Fitting 1/4 FPT X 3/8 MPT.
2. Install selected size Male Connector on the Lid by screwing into the 3/8-18 NPT female
threads. Note: Use Teflon tape on connector threads.
3. Unscrew the Nut only off the Male Connector. Remove the front & back Ferrule.
4. Insert selected size Tubing through the Nut and the back and front parts of the Ferrule.
5. Insert the Tubing assembly end into the Male Connector body and loosely screw the
Nut back on the Connector body.
2.2 Operation SETUP Procedure
1. Insure pressure regulator is off (set at zero). Pull locked regulator knob out to unlock and
turn counterclockwise several rotations to set to zero psi.
2. Connect Filtered Air Connection to clip of pressure pot as shown in Figure 1.
3. Connect air hose from filtered source to the quick male connector air inlet fitting on
regulator assembly as shown in Figure 2.
4. Turn three locking knobs counterclockwise to remove cover. Unscrew each locking
knob until it is able to flip over its hinge to clear the cove plate.
5. Remove cover lid on 1258 Pressure Pot using the two handles on top and carefully set it
aside.
WARNING

6. Remove cap from material container. Cap may be saved for future resealing of
container.
7. Place material container inside pressure pot chamber.
NOTE: DO NOT pour or spill dispense material into Pressure Pot chamber.

8. Insure that the ‘O-Ring stays in groove of cover.
9. Insure the connector tubing installation is complete as described in Section 2.1
Connector and Tubing Installation. Nut on connector body should be very loose to
enable easy movement of tube through the connector body on cover.
10. Install cover lid on Pressure Pot making sure to direct tube end into opened container
with dispense material/fluid.
11. Align the 3 slots on cover with the 3 locking knobs.
12. Lift the 3 locking knobs into slots on cover and tighten the 3 locking knobs uniformly
until snug. (Hand tight only)
13. Push tubing through the connector fitting on cover further into dispense material/fluid
until it touches the bottom of container. Relying on feel only, pull the tubing to retract
about 1/4” from the bottom of container as shown in Figure 3.
14. Hand tighten the nut securely onto the connector body. Try to pull on the tube to insure
the ferrule is holding the tube securely in the connector.

9
15. Make necessary connection at the dispense end of the tube.
Note: Connect dispense end of the tube to selected dispense valve
Never pour adhesives or other material directly into
dispenser. To do so may cause severe damage to dispenser.
Use material container or similar containment vessel.
Figure 3 Material Feeding Tube Insertion
Note: Dispense tube must be attached to Dispensing Device
(such as TS1201 Dispense Pen, TS1212 Micro Shot Valve or
equivalent).
2.3 Operation START-UP Procedure
1. Pull pressure regulator knob and turn clockwise to increase air pressure to the desired
operating pressure. Insure that the pressure gauge reading does not exceed 100 psi
maximum. Then push regulator knob in to lock and maintain set gage pressure.
Always start at lowest pressure and gradually increase as needed.
2. Listen for any possible air pressure leakage on the Pressure Pot.
3. Look for any signs of material/fluid leakage on tubing.
NOTE: PRESSURE POT SET-UP IS NOW COMPLETE AND READY FOR
DISPENSING OPERATION WITH THE SELECTED VALVE SYSTEM.
CAUTION
CAUTION

Figure 4 Relief Valve
Whenever replacing or removing valve(s), insure that
regulator pressure is at zero.
Do not open lid until air pressure is at zero.
2.4 Operation STOP Procedure
1. Pull air pressure regulator knob, turn counterclockwise and lower air pressure to zero.
2. Pull on Relief Valve (figure 4) to insure chamber is completely depressurised.
3. Disconnect air supply line if necessary.
4. Disconnect fluid tubing from dispense valve.
Note: Hold the fluid tubing in vertical position to allow fluid inside tubing to flow
back inside bottle/container.
5. Loosen the 3 lid knobs slowly and evenly. If excessive effort is required, insure air
pressure gauge reading is zero.
CAUTION
WARNING

6. Unscrew tube male connector nut completely. Move nut and ferrule along tubing about
4 inches away from the connector body on the cover.
7. Cut off tubing in between connector body on lid and nut/ferule. Put the cut tubing with
nut/ferrule aside. Take care to accommodate drainage and spillage at the end of tubing.
8. Wipe off any excess fluid material from the cut-ends of the tubings.
9. Remove nut and ferrule parts from the used tube.
10. Remove cover from Pressure Pot using the two handles, while carefully pulling used tubing
half from the container, and set aside. Be careful to avoid splashing and spilling from the
tube end in the material container/bottle.
11. Using a disposable hand glove or tongs, carefully pull the used-up tube from the connector
body on the Lid. Pull tubing from the inner side of cover plate. Dispose used tubing
appropriately.
12. Screw the nut on the connector body. Ferrule parts may be replaced.
13. Disconnect fitting on the dispense end of tubing, and discard used tube.
NOTE: New tubing is required for the next dispensing operation. (Ref: section 2.1)

3. ASSEMBLY DRAWINGS
The Installed O-Ring: The standard O-Ring supplied on your Pressure Pot is made of Viton
and is intended for applications with Lubricants, Conductive and Non-Conductive Adhesives, and
various other compounds not listed below. This O-Ring may be cleaned with Tolvene and/or
Isopropyl Alcohol.
DO NOT soak O-Ring in Tolvene, MEK, Acetone.
Read material safety data sheet for any solvent prior to use.
Spare O-ring: A Kit is available made of EPR and is intended for applications using fluids
containing UV Adhesives, Cyanoacrylates (CA’s), Methacrylates, and/or Acrylic Acids. If used,
this O-Ring may be cleaned as necessary with Isopropyl Alcohol, Acetone, MEK.
Please Note: Occasionally a EPR O-ring will swell or degrade when in contact with some UV
Adhesives, Cyanoacrylates (CA’s), Methacrylates, and/or Acrylic Acids. This might be due to
other components in the fluid product. In these cases we recommend switching to the Viton
O-Ring which will then perform better with this type of fluid.
The O-Rings are listed in Table 1
