C.A. Technologies Jaguar 100C — J100C-18-1590-401 (1.8mm Nozzle, 1590 Air Cap)

The C.A. Technologies Jaguar 100C J100C-18-1590-401 is a 1.8mm gravity feed conventional spray gun paired with the 1590 low-CFM air cap — a specialty configuration for applications where reduced air volume at the gun is a specific requirement. The 1590 cap operates at significantly lower CFM than the standard 2266 (12 CFM) or 2466 (15 CFM) caps, making it practical for sensitive or lightweight substrates where higher air velocity would disturb the wet film, cause bounce-back, or blow the part — and for environments where shared air lines or small compressors can’t sustain the output the standard caps require. The 1.8mm orifice ensures adequate fluid delivery for medium-to-heavy body materials; the 1590 cap keeps air draw to a minimum. This is not a general-purpose configuration — if you’re unsure whether the 1590 is right for your application, the standard J100C-18-2266-401 is the correct choice for most 1.8mm work. Forged aluminum body, all stainless steel fluid passages, 700mL aluminum cup included. US made by C.A. Technologies in Louisville, CO. Call or text 586-210-0555 before ordering to confirm this is the right cap for your situation.

✓ 1.8mm stainless orifice — medium to heavy body materials  •  ✓ Low-CFM 1590 cap — reduced air draw for sensitive substrates & limited supply  •  ✓ Gravity feed — 700mL aluminum cup included  •  ✓ Lower compressor demand than standard caps — 1.5–3 HP typically sufficient  •  ✓ All stainless fluid passages  •  ✓ US Made — CET Verified

Application

CET Application Match — Best for This Setup

The CET Preferred Setup for operators who have a specific reason to run low CFM at the gun — not a general-purpose recommendation. Based on over 20 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team specifies the J100C-18-1590-401 for situations where the standard 2266 or 2466 caps aren’t viable: sensitive or lightweight substrates where higher air velocity disturbs the wet film, environments where shared air lines can’t sustain 12+ CFM during a spray cycle, and portable or field setups running off small compressors. If none of these describe your situation, the J100C-18-2266-401 is the right configuration for most 1.8mm gravity gun work.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the 1590 cap over the standard 2266 or 2466?

The 1590 is for applications where low air volume at the gun is a specific requirement — sensitive substrates where 12 CFM disturbs the wet film, limited compressor capacity in shared air line environments, or portable field setups where sustained 12 CFM draw isn’t practical. For standard finishing applications, the J100C-18-2266-401 is the correct choice. Call or text 586-210-0555 if you’re unsure.

What compressor do I need for the 1590 cap?

Most 1.5–3 HP single-stage compressors cover the 1590 cap comfortably — significantly lower demand than the standard 2266 or 2466 caps. For intermittent work, even smaller setups may be sufficient. The exact CFM varies by operating pressure; call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm for your specific setup before ordering.

What is the pattern width of the 1590 cap?

Pattern width with the 1590 varies more by operating pressure than standard caps. Call or text 586-210-0555 and CET’s technical team will confirm the expected pattern at your specific operating pressure.

What needle does the 1.8mm nozzle use?

The 40-1115 (115) needle assembly — shared with 1.5mm configurations, so one spare part covers both orifice sizes.

What repair kit does the Jaguar 100C use?

All J100C configurations use repair kit 10-105. CET stocks for same-day shipment — call or text 586-210-0555.

The CET Difference

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 a wide range of coatings and industrial finishes — no corrosion or degradation over extended 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.
• Nine air cap options: From low-CFM specialty caps like the 1590 through 16.2 CFM high-output caps — a configuration for every air supply situation.
• 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.
