Description
C.A. Technologies Jaguar 100C — J100C-12-2266-401 (1.2mm Nozzle, 2266 Air Cap)
The C.A. Technologies Jaguar 100C J100C-12-2266-401 is a 1.2mm gravity feed conventional spray gun paired with the 21-2266 air cap — a practical thin-to-medium viscosity configuration sitting between the precision of a 1.0mm tip and the slightly higher fluid delivery of a 1.3mm. At 12 SCFM and a 12" fan from a gravity cup, this setup handles lacquers, enamels, primers, and sealers in the 16–20 sec. Zahn #2 range with reliable deposit control and gravity-feed simplicity. Used in woodworking shops, cabinet finishing operations, and automotive refinishing where thin-to-medium finish coatings are the primary daily material and precise film build on vertical surfaces matters. The forged aluminum body carries all stainless steel fluid passages for full chemical resistance, and the gun ships with a 700mL aluminum gravity cup included. US made by C.A. Technologies in Louisville, CO. Call or text 586-210-0555 for setup guidance and availability before you order.

Application
CET Application Match — Best for This Setup
The CET Preferred Setup for operators who need slightly more fluid delivery than a 1.0mm provides on thin lacquers and enamels, without stepping to a 1.3mm that may over-apply on their specific material. Based on over 20 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team recommends the J100C-12-2266-401 for woodworking shops, cabinet finishers, and automotive refinishing operations running thin lacquers, sealers, and wash primers where the 1.2mm orifice delivers reliable film build without sagging on vertical surfaces.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between J100C-12-2266-401, J100C-10-2266-401, and J100C-13-2266-401?
- All three use the 21-2266 air cap at 12 SCFM with a 12" fan — the only difference is orifice size. The 1.0mm gives maximum deposit control on the thinnest materials. The 1.2mm is the middle option for thin lacquers and sealers. The 1.3mm delivers slightly more fluid per pass for materials trending toward medium viscosity. Call or text 586-210-0555 if you’re unsure which fits your material.
- What compressor do I need for 12 SCFM?
- 12 SCFM @ 50 PSI is achievable with a 30-gallon compressor at 90 PSI rated output — one of the most compressor-friendly setups in the J100C lineup and within reach of most single-phase shop compressors.
- What materials work best at 1.2mm?
- Thin lacquers, enamels, wash primers, and sealers in the 16–20 sec. Zahn #2 range. For materials outside this range, call or text 586-210-0555 and CET will confirm the right orifice for your specific coating.
- What needle does the 1.2mm nozzle use?
- The 40-1110 (110) needle assembly — shared with 1.0mm and 1.3mm configurations, so one spare part covers three orifice sizes.
- What repair kit does the Jaguar 100C use?
- All J100C configurations use repair kit 10-105, which includes all wear seals, o-rings, needle seal cartridge, and springs for a complete rebuild. CET stocks for same-day shipment — call or text 586-210-0555.
- Where can I find the full Jaguar 100C parts manual?
- The full parts manual is available on the Jaguar J100C Spare Parts page or via the download button below. CET includes documentation with every order.

Why Choose the Jaguar 100C
Conventional Dependability Across Every Viscosity
The Jaguar 100C is C.A. Technologies’ workhorse conventional gravity feed gun — a forged aluminum body with all stainless steel fluid passages, nine air cap options, and nozzles from 1.0mm to 2.8mm covering the full spectrum from thin lacquers to ultra-heavy gelcoat in a single gun platform.
- All stainless steel fluid passages: Full chemical resistance to lacquers, enamels, automotive coatings, and industrial topcoats — no corrosion or degradation over extended production use.
- Gravity feed simplicity: Cup threads directly onto the gun. No pressure pot, no hose management. Portable setup for operators moving between components and workstations.
- Carbide nozzle options: Available at 2.8mm for abrasive or particle-laden materials that cause accelerated stainless nozzle wear.
- Forged aluminum body at 20 oz.: Lightweight enough for extended finishing sessions without operator fatigue building across a shift.
- 13 active configurations: From 1.0mm thin lacquers to 2.8mm ultra-heavy gelcoat, with both stainless and carbide nozzle options at the largest orifice size.
