Albion AT400-S is a suitcase pneumatic applicator for curtain-wall, floor, and overhead 1:1 or 2:1 glazing work.
The Albion AT400-S is a suitcase pneumatic applicator for 1:1 or 2:1 two-component silicone on curtain walls, floors, and overhead joints. The suitcase handle leaves one hand free to keep the mixer on the work while shop air moves 400-series material, including Dow Corning 121 structural glazing silicone. No change-over parts are required when the sheet calls for 1:1 or 2:1.

When should I run the Albion AT400-S suitcase on a curtain wall?
Use the AT400-S when one hand has to stay on a curtain wall, floor, or overhead bead while the other keeps the mixer on the work. Two-hand AT400 is the better pick when the same 1:1/2:1 cartridge is in front of the body. Plane of the joint decides the handle.
Is the Albion AT400-S listed for Dow Corning 121 structural glazing?
Yes. Albion lists the AT400-S for Dow Corning 121 structural glazing sealant on the same 1:1/2:1 400-series path as the two-hand sister. Confirm the silicone sheet for cartridge geometry. Keep AT400X4-S when the sheet instead calls for 4:1.
When should I pick suitcase 1:1/2:1 Albion AT400-S instead of suitcase 4:1 AT400X4-S?
Pick the AT400-S when the datasheet calls for 1:1 or 2:1 in a 400-series cartridge and you want one-hand suitcase control. Pick the AT400X4-S when the sheet calls for 4:1 in a 415 ml cartridge on a long wall or floor joint. Ratio on the sheet is the reason.
How does a free hand on the mixer help with the Albion AT400-S?
The AT400-S suitcase leaves a free hand to hold the mixer in the slot on a curtain wall or overhead line. Shop air moves the 1:1 or 2:1 silicone while that hand tracks the joint. That is the one-hand glazing reason for this handle.
Can the Albion AT400-S run floor joints as well as overhead beads?
Yes. Albion publishes the AT400-S suitcase for walls, floors, and horizontal joints, so a floor glazing line still gets one-hand control. Use two-hand AT400 when you are working in front of your body on a bench or scaffold plank.
How does shop-air reverse help the Albion AT400-S overhead?
Pneumatic reverse on the AT400-S retracts the pistons so the next 400-series cartridge loads while you are still on the wall or overhead. You do not have to drop the applicator between sticks. Start the regulator low and raise it until the overhead bead rate is right.
