The Bobcat B415 steps up from the popular B413 — a 0.015” orifice at 40° producing the same 8” production-width pattern at approximately 22 oz/min at 1000 PSI. It’s the configuration for operations where the material is slightly heavier than the B413 handles optimally, or where throughput requirements demand more fluid per pass at the same fan geometry.

At ~22 oz/min, the B415 delivers 30% more fluid than the B413 at the same pressure setting. This matters for industrial primers, medium-build industrial coatings, and medium-viscosity enamels that are at the upper end of the B413’s comfortable range — where atomization begins to show inconsistency or throughput becomes a production constraint.

The 40° angle keeps the 8” fan that makes this angle group efficient for both component and panel production. If the B415 still doesn’t deliver enough throughput for your material, step up to B417 at 0.017”. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm before ordering.

Fluid Tip

36-415

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

One orifice step up from the B413 at the same 40° angle — ~22 oz/min at 1000 PSI for industrial primers, medium-viscosity coatings, and higher-throughput production. Field-replaceable tip.

Air Cap

26-101

AAA HVLP air cap · ≤18 PSI at handle

Same air cap as all Bobcat configurations. The AAA air assist at 0.015” refines atomization on medium-viscosity materials, producing a finer finish than pure airless at comparable 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.

Repair Kits

When should I choose B415 over B413?

Step up to B415 when your material at B413 shows inconsistent atomization, insufficient throughput, or requires more fluid pressure than expected. Industrial primers, medium-build sealers, and medium-viscosity enamels at the heavier end of the range are typical triggers. If the B413 is producing a consistent pattern and keeping up with production, stay with B413. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm the right orifice for your viscosity.

What fluid pressure for medium-body coatings at 0.015”?

Start at 400–600 PSI and increase until the pattern is consistent. Medium-body industrial coatings at 0.015” typically run at 700–1000 PSI. Heavier materials within that range may need pressure toward the higher end. Increase gradually and do not exceed 1500 PSI.

Is there a 0.015” tip with a wider pattern?

Yes — the B515 uses 0.015” at 50° for a 10” pattern, and the B615 uses 0.015” at 60° for 12”. All deliver the same ~22 oz/min — choose your angle based on substrate width. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm.

Can I swap the 36-415 tip without a new gun?

Yes — all 36-series tips are field-replaceable. Swap between 36-413 and 36-415 as your material mix changes without purchasing a new gun. Call or text 586-210-0555 to order replacement tips directly.

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.
