The Bobcat B407 is the finest 40° configuration in the Bobcat lineup — a 0.007” orifice delivering approximately 5 oz/min at 1000 PSI, paired with a 40° angle for an 8” production-width pattern. It’s a specialized tip for situations where fluid delivery must be reduced to its absolute minimum while maintaining a working fan width for production-rate coverage.

The 0.007” orifice is the smallest in the Bobcat system. At this size, fluid delivery is low enough for the thinnest materials in a production environment — very thin dye stains, marking fluids, ultra-thin sealers, and specialty coatings where even the B409 at 0.009” delivers more material per pass than the application requires.

The 40° angle keeps the 8” fan, which distinguishes this from the B207 (same 0.007” orifice at 20° producing only a 4” pattern). If you need the minimum fluid delivery of 0.007” but still need production-width coverage on components and panels, the B407 is the right choice. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm before ordering — this is a highly specialized configuration.

Fluid Tip

36-407

0.007” orifice · 40° angle · ~8” pattern

Finest orifice in the Bobcat 40° range — ~5 oz/min at 1000 PSI. For ultra-thin fluids requiring minimum delivery at production fan width. Field-replaceable tip.

Air Cap

26-101

AAA HVLP air cap · ≤18 PSI at handle

Same air cap as all Bobcat configurations. At 0.007”, even low fluid pressure produces excellent atomization on very thin materials — start low and adjust up.

Gun Type

AAA

Air Assist Airless · 1500 PSI max

Requires AAA pump (e.g., Peak 14:1). At 0.007”, keep fluid pressure toward the lower end of the range for optimal control on very thin materials.

Who actually needs a 0.007” tip?

The B407 is a specialized configuration for operations where the 0.009” (B409) still delivers too much material — very thin dye stains, specialty penetrating sealers, marking fluids, and ultra-thin protective coatings. If you’re spraying standard lacquers, waterborne coatings, or enamels in production, B409, B411, or B413 are almost certainly the right choice. Call or text 586-210-0555 before ordering if you’re unsure.

What is the difference between B407 and B207?

Both use the 0.007” orifice and deliver approximately 5 oz/min at 1000 PSI. The B407 uses a 40° angle for an 8” pattern; the B207 uses a 20° angle for a 4” pattern. Choose B407 when you need minimum fluid delivery at production panel width. Choose B207 for very tight spaces or extremely narrow substrates where a 4” fan is a necessity.

What fluid pressure should I use with 0.007”?

Start at 350 PSI — for many ultra-thin materials this is the right operating pressure at 0.007”. The smallest orifice in the system requires less pressure to achieve good atomization than larger tips. Increasing pressure beyond what is needed on a 0.007” tip causes excessive mist and reduced transfer efficiency. Do not exceed 1500 PSI.

Can I step up to a larger tip without buying a new gun?

Yes — all 36-series tips are field-replaceable. If your material needs more fluid delivery, order the 36-409, 36-411, or 36-413 and swap it in. Call or text 586-210-0555 to order.

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.
