Description
C.A. Technologies CPR-T3 Techline Gravity Feed Spray Gun
CAT Pressure Reduced / HVLP
The CPR-T3 Techline is part of C.A. Technologies' CPR Series — a line of spray guns engineered to combine the transfer efficiency of HVLP with the finish quality and speed of conventional air spray. Whether you're spraying automotive basecoats, clearcoats, primers, or high-solids materials, the CPR-T3 delivers professional results with compliance-ready performance.
Why Choose the CPR-T3?
The CPR Series was built around a simple idea: you shouldn't have to sacrifice finish quality to meet HVLP compliance requirements. The CPR-T3 solves that by giving you two air caps in the box — the 23-1301 HVLP air cap for areas requiring strict compliance, and the 23-2101 CPR Compliant air cap for maximum atomization quality and speed when regulations allow. Switch between them depending on your application and environment.
- Best-of-both-worlds performance — HVLP transfer efficiency combined with the finish quality and speed of conventional air spray
- Dual air cap system — includes both the 23-1301 HVLP and 23-2101 CPR Compliant air caps in every kit
- Versatile nozzle range — 1.3 mm to 2.2 mm fluid orifices cover everything from basecoats and clearcoats to fillers and high-solids materials
- Gravity feed design — reduces material waste and makes cleanup faster and easier
- Ready out of the box — the CPR-T3 Standard Box Kit includes 3 nozzle and needle setups, 2 air caps, a 700 mL plastic cup, and tools
- Low air consumption — 13 CFM with the 23-1301 HVLP cap, 11 CFM with the 23-2101 CPR Compliant cap, both at 29 PSI gun inlet
