Description
C.A. Technologies Lynx 100C Conventional Spray Gun — 1.8mm / 21-2709 Pressure Setup (L100C-18-2709)
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-18-2709 setup pairs the 31-0618 fluid nozzle (1.8mm) with the 21-2709 pressure air cap — a heavy body pressure configuration designed for epoxies, urethanes, and high solid industrial primers where the 1.8mm orifice ensures adequate fluid flow at production pressures. Contact CET to confirm CFM and pattern width specifications for your specific application.
At a Glance
- Feed type: Pressure feed
- Best material types: Heavy body epoxy primers, urethane topcoats, high solid industrial coatings, and thick enamels requiring a 1.8mm orifice through pressure feed
- Air use: Confirm with CET — 21-2709 air cap specs for CFM and pattern width vary by application
- Pattern size: Confirm with CET for your specific application
- Why choose this setup over L100C-18-2263: The 21-2709 air cap is designed for heavier materials than the 21-2263 range — choose this setup when the 21-2263 doesn't atomize your material adequately
- Key included components: 31-0618 fluid nozzle, 40-1115 needle, 21-2709 air cap, 60-1500 fan control assembly

Best for This Setup
The L100C-18-2709 is a pressure feed configuration built around the 1.8mm orifice and the 21-2709 air cap — a pairing intended for heavy body industrial coatings where the standard 21-2263 pressure air cap range doesn't fully atomize the material. The 1.8mm nozzle provides the fluid opening needed to maintain consistent delivery of viscous epoxy primers, thick urethane topcoats, and high solid industrial enamels without the pressure drop and tip restriction that comes from forcing these materials through smaller orifices. This setup sits between the standard heavy body 21-2263 configurations and the maximum-orifice 21-2709 at 2.2mm — the right choice when 1.8mm fluid volume is sufficient but you need the atomization characteristics of the 21-2709 air cap rather than the 21-2263. Contact CET with your material type and viscosity to confirm CFM requirements and pattern width before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the L100C-18-2709 best for?
- Heavy body epoxy primers, urethane topcoats, and high solid industrial coatings through pressure feed where the 21-2263 air cap range doesn't adequately atomize the material. The 1.8mm orifice provides good fluid flow for viscous materials without stepping to the 2.2mm 21-2709 configuration.
- Is the L100C-18-2709 siphon or pressure feed?
- Pressure feed. This setup is designed for use with a pressure cup, pressure pot, or pressure tank. For 1.8mm siphon configurations, see the L100C-18-2266, L100C-18-2366, or L100C-18-2466.
- What air cap does the L100C-18-2709 use?
- The 21-2709 pressure air cap, designed for heavy body pressure feed applications. Contact CET to confirm CFM and pattern width specifications for your specific application and material.
- 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).
- 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.
- Where can I find the full parts list and assembly diagram?
- The complete Lynx 100C parts manual — including the full exploded parts diagram, air cap selection chart, and nozzle selection guide — is available for download from the CET manual page linked below.
