C.A. Technologies Lynx 100C Conventional Spray Gun — 1.3mm / 21-2263 Pressure Setup (L100C-13-2263)

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-13-2263 setup pairs the 31-0613 fluid nozzle (1.3mm) with the 21-2263 pressure air cap — delivering 14 CFM and a 14" pattern at 50 PSI. The 1.3mm orifice occupies the gap between the fine 1.2mm and the medium 1.5mm, making this the preferred pressure feed configuration for automotive coatings, standard enamels, and primers where 1.2mm slightly restricts flow but 1.5mm risks over-application.

At a Glance

• Feed type: Pressure feed
• Best material types: Automotive base coats, single-stage enamels, medium body industrial primers, and urethane topcoats at standard viscosity through pressure cup or pressure pot
• Air use: 14 CFM @ 50 PSI — mid-range compressor requirement
• Pattern size: 14" — wide coverage pattern well suited to panels and body work
• Why choose this setup: The 1.3mm orifice threads the needle between the 1.2mm (sometimes restrictive on medium body materials) and the 1.5mm (sometimes excessive on standard viscosity enamels) — a precision fit for automotive and medium-body industrial applications
• Key included components: 31-0613 fluid nozzle, 40-1110 needle, 21-2263 air cap, 60-1500 fan control assembly

Technical Specifications

Best for This Setup

The L100C-13-2263 is the precision mid-point in the pressure feed lineup — a 1.3mm orifice with the 21-2263's 14 CFM and 14" pattern gives you a setup that fits between the fine 1.2mm configurations used for base coat and the broader 1.5mm–1.8mm setups used for heavier primers and build coats. In automotive refinishing and industrial enamel work, the difference between a 1.2mm and 1.3mm tip is meaningful: the 1.2mm can limit fluid delivery on standard-viscosity single-stage urethanes and medium body enamels at typical pot pressures, while the 1.3mm opens the orifice just enough to maintain a smooth, wet edge without over-applying on flat panels. Paired with the 21-2263's 14" fan, this setup covers body panels and doors efficiently without the 16.2 CFM air demand of the 21-2266-3 series. For shops running pressure cup outfits on automotive work or medium-volume industrial production, this is a well-balanced configuration that sits comfortably between the fine-finish 1.2mm and the heavier-material 1.5mm–1.8mm setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the L100C-13-2263 best for?

Automotive base coats, single-stage urethane enamels, and medium body industrial primers delivered through pressure feed where a 1.2mm orifice restricts flow but a 1.5mm risks over-application. The 14" pattern suits panel and body work well.

Is the L100C-13-2263 siphon or pressure feed?

Pressure feed. The 21-2263 is a pressure air cap designed for use with a pressure cup, pressure pot, or pressure tank setup where fluid is pushed to the gun under regulated pressure.

What air cap does the L100C-13-2263 use?

The 21-2263 pressure air cap — 14 CFM at 50 PSI, 14" maximum fan pattern. Compatible with 0.6mm through 1.8mm fluid tips.

What fluid nozzle and needle does this setup use?

The 31-0613 fluid nozzle (1.3mm / .051") paired with the 40-1110 needle (marked 110). The 110 needle is shared with the 1.0mm setups.

What repair kit fits the Lynx 100C?

Repair kit 10-106 covers all Lynx 100C configurations. It includes all wear seals, o-rings, springs, and needle seal components needed for a full gun rebuild.
