Description
C.A. Technologies Lynx 100C Conventional Spray Gun — 1.2mm / 21-2266 Siphon Setup (L100C-12-2266)
100 Series Conventional General Purpose | US Made
The Lynx 100C (L100C) is C.A. Technologies' high quality general purpose conventional spray gun, available in both pressure and siphon feed configurations. The L100C-12-2266 setup pairs the 31-0612 fluid nozzle (1.2mm) with the 21-2266 siphon air cap — a versatile medium-viscosity configuration well suited for automotive base coat, enamels, primers, epoxies, urethanes, and clear coat applications.
Built with a forged aluminum body and all stainless steel fluid passages, the Lynx 100C delivers conventional air spray dependability across a wide range of coatings and industries. Its broad air cap selection — covering siphon feed, pressure feed, and internal mix configurations — makes it one of the most versatile conventional spray guns in the C.A. Technologies lineup.

Best for This Setup
The L100C-12-2266 is the right choice for operators spraying medium-viscosity materials through a siphon cup setup where a controlled 10" pattern is preferred over maximum width. The 21-2266's 12 CFM output keeps air consumption moderate, making it well suited for smaller compressor setups or environments where air supply is shared across multiple guns. The 1.2mm orifice handles automotive base coats, enamels, and lacquer-based primers with good flow control — fine enough to avoid flooding on tight or detailed surfaces, but open enough to maintain a productive wet film on flat panels. If you're spraying in a small shop, touch-up environment, or need a siphon-fed gun that works reliably without demanding high compressor capacity, this is a practical and proven configuration.
Why the Lynx 100C?
The Lynx 100C is C.A. Technologies' answer to conventional spray gun dependability — a workhorse gun built for operators who need reliable, consistent performance across a wide variety of coating applications. The forged aluminum body keeps it lightweight and durable, while the all stainless steel fluid passages ensure compatibility with everything from thin inks and dyes to heavy body primers and adhesives.
- Forged aluminum body — lightweight, durable, and built for production use
- Stainless steel fluid passages — compatible with the full range of coatings from thin to thick
- Broad air cap selection — 21 air cap options across siphon, pressure, and internal mix configurations let you optimize for any application
- Available with carbide tipped fluid nozzles — for abrasive material applications that would wear standard stainless steel nozzles
- Internal mix capability — the 21-200 and 21-2201 air caps enable internal mix spraying for specific application needs
- Flexible outfit options — available with 1 QT siphon cup, 1 QT pressure cup, 2 quart outfit, or tank outfits from 2.5 to 15 gallons
- US Made — designed and manufactured by C.A. Technologies (Coating Atomization Technologies)
