C.A. Technologies Lynx 100C Conventional Spray Gun — 1.8mm / 21-2266 Siphon Setup (L100C-18-2266)

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-18-2266 setup pairs the 31-0618 fluid nozzle (1.8mm) with the 21-2266 siphon air cap — delivering 12 CFM and a 10" pattern at 50 PSI. This is the heavy-body siphon configuration for operators who need the 1.8mm fluid volume but prefer the controlled 10" pattern of the 21-2266 over the wider fans of the 21-2366 or 21-2466.

At a Glance

• Feed type: Siphon feed
• Best material types: Heavy body enamels, thick primers, urethanes, and epoxies at the upper end of siphon viscosity range
• Air use: 12 CFM @ 50 PSI — moderate compressor requirement
• Pattern size: 10" — tighter than the 21-2366 (14") and 21-2466 (13"), better for detail work, smaller parts, and confined areas
• Why choose this setup: When your material is heavy body and you need 1.8mm fluid flow but a wide pattern would create overspray problems on smaller or complex parts
• Key included components: 31-0618 fluid nozzle, 40-1115 needle, 21-2266 air cap, 60-1500 fan control assembly

Technical Specifications

Best for This Setup

The L100C-18-2266 occupies a specific and useful niche in the Lynx 100C siphon lineup: maximum siphon fluid volume (1.8mm) in a controlled 10" pattern. Where the L100C-18-2466 and L100C-18-2366 open up to 13" and 14" fans for panel and flat work, the 21-2266 keeps the spray tight — useful when you're spraying heavy body coatings on parts where pattern width matters as much as fluid throughput. Cabinet door edges, structural profiles, brackets, and assemblies with adjacent surfaces that can't receive overspray are all natural candidates. The 12 CFM air draw also keeps this setup friendly for moderate compressor setups that might struggle with the 15 CFM of the 21-2466. If you're stepping up from a 1.5mm 21-2266 setup because your material is too viscous and you're seeing starvation or sputtering at the end of the cup, moving to the 1.8mm nozzle in the same air cap is the simplest possible upgrade — same pattern, same air consumption, just more fluid flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the L100C-18-2266 best for?

Heavy body enamels, thick primers, and urethanes on smaller parts, detail work, and confined areas where a wide 13"–15" pattern would cause overspray problems. The 1.8mm orifice handles heavy body materials that would restrict through 1.2mm or 1.5mm siphon setups.

Is the L100C-18-2266 siphon or pressure feed?

Siphon feed. The 21-2266 is a siphon air cap. For pressure feed at 1.8mm, see the L100C-18-2263 (14 CFM, 14" pattern) or L100C-18-2266-3 (16.2 CFM, 15" pattern).

What air cap does the L100C-18-2266 use?

The 21-2266 siphon air cap — 12 CFM at 50 PSI, 10" maximum fan pattern. Compatible with 0.6mm through 1.8mm fluid tips.

What fluid nozzle and needle does this setup use?

The 31-0618 fluid nozzle (1.8mm / .070") paired with the 40-1115 needle (marked 115). The 115 needle is shared across all 1.5mm and 1.8mm Lynx 100C 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.
