The Bobcat B515 is the wide-panel version of the B415 — the same 0.015” orifice and ~22 oz/min at 1000 PSI, opened to 50° for a 10” pattern. It’s the right configuration when you need B415 fluid delivery on flat panels and wider substrates where the 8” fan of the B415 limits throughput without changing anything about your material, pump, or pressure.

At ~22 oz/min, the B515 handles industrial primers, medium-body industrial coatings, and medium-viscosity enamels on wider flat work — metal sheet panels, wide cabinet components, structural flat stock, and production lines running larger substrates where every extra inch of fan width directly reduces passes per part. The 50° angle covers that ground efficiently while the 0.015” orifice keeps fluid delivery in the range that handles heavier-than-standard coatings without going to the B517 range.

Like all the 50° group, the switch from B415 to B515 is purely geometric. Same material, same pressure, same air draw — just 2” more fan per pass. If you need 0.015” at an even wider fan, the B615 offers 12” at 60°. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm before ordering.

Fluid Tip

36-515

0.015” orifice · 50° angle · ~10” pattern

Same 0.015” orifice as the B415 at a wider 50° angle — ~22 oz/min at 1000 PSI with 10” coverage for industrial primers and medium-body coatings on flat panels and wider substrates. Field-replaceable tip.

Air Cap

26-101

AAA HVLP air cap · ≤18 PSI at handle

Same air cap as all Bobcat configurations. The 50° tip geometry controls fan width; the air cap refines atomization independently. B415 air and pressure settings carry directly to B515 on the same material.

Gun Type

AAA

Air Assist Airless · 1500 PSI max

Requires AAA pump (e.g., Peak 14:1). Pressure settings that work with B415 apply directly to B515 on the same material — the angle change does not affect fluid pressure requirements.

Repair Kits

What is the difference between B515 and B415?

Identical 0.015” orifice and ~22 oz/min fluid delivery. The only difference is fan width: B415 uses 40° for an 8” pattern — better for components and narrower panels. B515 uses 50° for a 10” pattern — better for flat panels and wider surfaces. No pressure adjustment is needed when switching between them on the same material. Tips are field-replaceable.

Can I carry over my B415 settings to the B515?

Yes — fluid pressure and air pressure settings transfer directly from B415 to B515 when spraying the same material. The 50° angle changes only the fan geometry, not fluid delivery or atomization characteristics. Swap the tip, keep your settings, and gain 2” of coverage per pass.

What if I need 0.015” with a 12” or 14” fan?

The B615 uses 0.015” at 60° for a 12” fan, and the B715 uses 0.015” at 70° for a 14” fan. All three deliver the same ~22 oz/min — choose your angle based on your substrate width. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm.

Should I keep B515 and B415 on hand at the same time?

Many operations do. If your production includes both component or narrow panel work and flat panel or sheet work with the same material, keeping both tips on hand lets you swap in seconds without changing anything else. No pressure adjustments needed — both tips use the same orifice and air cap on the same gun.

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.
