Description
C.A. Technologies Lynx 100C Conventional Spray Gun — 1.2mm / 21-2266-3 Pressure Setup (L100C-12-2266-3)
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-12-2266-3 setup pairs the 31-0612 fluid nozzle (1.2mm) with the 21-2266-3 pressure air cap — the highest-output pressure air cap in the standard 0.6–1.8mm range, delivering 16.2 CFM and a full 15" pattern width. An ideal choice for medium viscosity materials including automotive base coat, enamels, primers, epoxies, urethanes, and clear coat where maximum coverage and productivity are the priority.
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-12-2266-3 is the highest-output pressure feed configuration available in the standard 0.6–1.8mm fluid tip range, and the right choice when pattern coverage and production speed are the priority over air consumption. The 21-2266-3 delivers 16.2 CFM and a full 15" fan — the widest pattern in the pressure feed lineup — making it ideal for spraying large flat surfaces like automotive panels, cabinet doors, sheet metal components, and industrial parts where maximizing coverage per pass directly reduces cycle time. The 1.2mm stainless nozzle paired with pressure feed keeps fluid delivery consistent and responsive even at higher line pressures, with enough orifice precision to avoid excessive overspray on base coats and medium-viscosity enamels. If you're running a pressure pot or pressure cup system and need maximum pattern width without stepping up to a 1.5mm or 1.8mm orifice, this is the configuration to reach for.
