The Bobcat B211 combines the smallest practical orifice for production AAA work (0.011”) with the tightest spray angle in the Bobcat lineup (20°), producing a 4” pattern at approximately 13 oz/min at 1000 PSI. It’s the configuration that simultaneously addresses both variables — narrow fan for tight geometry, finer orifice for fine coatings — when neither adjustment alone is sufficient.

This is the most specialized narrow configuration in the Bobcat system. The B211 is suited for fine lacquers and waterborne topcoats on the narrowest substrates in production — very thin spindles, delicate balusters, narrow metal extrusions, and any application where the 4” fan of the B213 delivers slightly more material per pass than the fine coating requires on that narrow surface.

The distinction from the B213 is subtle: same 20° angle, same 4” pattern, but finer orifice. If you’re running lacquers on narrow components and seeing any runs or buildup with the B213, this is the next step. Call or text 586-210-0555 before ordering — this is a highly specific configuration and CET will confirm whether it’s appropriate for your material and substrate.

Fluid Tip

36-211

0.011” orifice · 20° angle · ~4” pattern

Finest narrow configuration in the Bobcat lineup — ~13 oz/min at 1000 PSI in a tight 4” fan. For fine lacquers and waterborne topcoats on very narrow substrates. Field-replaceable tip.

Air Cap

26-101

AAA HVLP air cap · ≤18 PSI at handle

Same air cap as all Bobcat configurations. The 20° tip geometry controls the 4” fan; the air cap refines atomization. At 0.011”, fine materials atomize well at lower fluid pressure.

Gun Type

AAA

Air Assist Airless · 1500 PSI max

Requires AAA pump (e.g., Peak 14:1). Airless fluid pressure provides primary atomization; HVLP air at cap refines the pattern.

What makes B211 different from B213 and B311?

The B211 combines the finest orifice (0.011”, ~13 oz/min) with the tightest angle (20°, 4” fan) — adjusting both variables simultaneously. The B213 uses the same 20° angle but a larger 0.013” orifice (~17 oz/min). The B311 uses the same 0.011” orifice but a wider 30° angle (6” fan). The B211 is the choice when both the material and the substrate geometry require the smallest practical values for each.

What fluid pressure works best with B211?

Start at 350–500 PSI. Fine lacquers and waterborne coatings at 0.011” typically atomize well at 500–800 PSI. Neither the 20° angle nor the 4” pattern changes pressure requirements — atomization is governed by orifice size and fluid pressure alone. Do not exceed 1500 PSI.

Should I call before ordering the B211?

CET recommends it. The B211 is among the most specialized configurations in the Bobcat lineup — both variables (orifice and angle) are at their smallest practical values. In many cases, a B213 or B311 is more appropriate. Call or text 586-210-0555 with your material, substrate width, and current tip configuration and we’ll confirm before you order.

Can I swap the 36-211 for a wider tip without a new gun?

Yes — all 36-series tips are field-replaceable. Step up to 36-213 for the same 4” fan at 0.013”, or to 36-311 for the same 0.011” orifice at a 6” fan. Call or text 586-210-0555 to order replacement tips.

What repair kit does the Bobcat use?

10-137 covers routine maintenance — all o-rings and the seat. 10-138 is the complete kit adding the air valve assembly and needle seal cartridge. CET stocks both for same-day shipment. Most in-stock orders ship same day — stocked at C.A. Technologies’ Colorado facility.
