The Cougar C213 pairs a 0.013” orifice with a 20° spray angle for an approximately 4” fan — the full-size C.A. Technologies air-assist-airless gun tuned for medium-viscosity production coatings.

At 0.013”, fluid delivery is approximately 17 oz/min at 1000 PSI on light materials. The airless fluid pressure does the primary atomization; a low volume of HVLP air at the 26-101 cap refines the pattern to a fine, soft finish — HVLP compliant at ≤15 PSI air at the handle, at far lower CFM than a conventional gun.

Built for solvent or waterborne coatings with all-stainless fluid passages, an integrated fluid filter, and a fluid shut-off knob that locks the trigger for safe cleaning. Runs on as little as a 1.5 HP compressor with a suitable AAA pump.

Fluid Tip

36-213

0.013” orifice · 20° angle · ~4” pattern. Field-replaceable 36-series tip — ideal for medium-viscosity production coatings.

Air Cap

26-101

AAA HVLP air cap · ≤15 PSI at handle

Refines airless atomization with a small volume of HVLP air. Finer finish than pure airless at far lower CFM than a conventional gun.

Gun Type

AAA · Full-Size

Air Assist Airless · 1500 PSI max

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

What is the difference between the Cougar and the Bobcat?

Both are C.A. Technologies air-assist-airless guns running the identical 36-series tips and 26-101 air cap. The Cougar is the full-size body (23 oz, HVLP ≤15 PSI at handle); the Bobcat is compact (17 oz, HVLP ≤18 PSI). Atomization is identical — choose by grip preference and HVLP requirement.

What fluid pressure should I use with the C213?

Start at 350–500 PSI and increase until atomization is consistent for your material. The 0.013” orifice typically atomizes well below the maximum — use only as much pressure as the finish needs. Do not exceed 1500 PSI.

Can I change the tip on the C213?

Yes — all 36-series tips are field-replaceable. To change orifice or fan width for a different coating, order the matching 36-series tip. Call or text 586-210-0555 for tip selection help.

What pump does the Cougar require?

An AAA pump delivering 350–1500 PSI fluid pressure. The C.A. Technologies Peak 14:1 is the standard pairing — cart, wall, and portable-cart configurations. Call 586-210-0555 to configure the system.

What repair kit does the Cougar use?

10-127 covers routine soft-seal maintenance. 10-113 is the complete overhaul kit. CET stocks both for same-day shipment.
