C.A. Technologies Lynx 100C Conventional Spray Gun — 2.2mm / 21-2709 Pressure Setup (L100C-22-2709)

100 Series Conventional General Purpose | US Made

The Lynx 100C (L100C) is C.A. Technologies' high quality general purpose conventional spray gun, available in pressure, siphon, and internal mix configurations. The L100C-22-2709 setup pairs the 31-0622 fluid nozzle (2.2mm) with the 21-2709 pressure air cap — a high-volume pressure feed configuration designed for very heavy body coatings including high solid enamels, thick industrial primers, and heavy adhesives where the 1.8mm pressure setups do not provide sufficient fluid throughput.

At a Glance

• Feed type: Pressure feed
• Best material types: Very heavy body coatings — high solid enamels, thick industrial primers, high-viscosity adhesives, and heavy industrial coatings that exceed the flow capacity of 1.8mm setups
• Air use: 21-2709 air cap (confirm CFM with CET for your specific application)
• Pattern size: Confirm with CET — pattern width varies by inlet pressure and material viscosity
• Why choose this setup: When your coating is too heavy for the 1.8mm pressure setups to flow properly, the 2.2mm orifice provides the fluid opening needed to maintain consistent delivery without pressure drop or tip restriction
• Key included components: 31-0622 fluid nozzle, 40-1122 needle, 21-2709 air cap, 60-1500 fan control assembly

Technical Specifications

Best for This Setup

The L100C-22-2709 is built for coatings that are too viscous or too high in solid content to flow adequately through a 1.8mm pressure feed setup. When heavy industrial enamels, high solid primers, or production adhesives begin to starve or spatter through smaller orifices at standard pressure pot settings, moving to the 2.2mm nozzle provides the fluid opening needed to maintain a steady, consistent spray pattern without restricting material delivery. The 21-2709 air cap pairs with the 2.2mm fluid path to atomize these heavier materials under pressure feed conditions — delivering more consistent fluid pressure and flow than siphon feed would allow for materials of this viscosity. This configuration is most commonly found in industrial production environments running pressure pots or pressure tanks where coating throughput and material consistency over long production runs are the priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the L100C-22-2709 best for?

Very heavy body coatings including high solid industrial enamels, thick primers, and production adhesives that require a 2.2mm orifice to maintain adequate fluid flow through pressure feed. If your coating is too viscous to spray well through a 1.8mm pressure setup, the 2.2mm L100C-22-2709 is the correct configuration.

Is the L100C-22-2709 siphon or pressure feed?

Pressure feed. This setup is designed for use with a pressure pot, pressure tank, or pressure cup where fluid is pushed to the gun under regulated pressure rather than drawn up by siphon.

What air cap does the L100C-22-2709 use?

The 21-2709 pressure air cap. This air cap is designed for use with 2.2mm fluid tips and heavy body pressure feed applications. Contact CET to confirm CFM and pattern width specifications for your specific application.

What fluid nozzle and needle does this setup use?

The 31-0622 fluid nozzle (2.2mm / .086") paired with the 40-1122 needle (marked 122).

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.
