C.A. Technologies Panther 100G — P100G-18-2466 (1.8mm Nozzle, 2466 Air Cap)

The C.A. Technologies Panther 100G P100G-18-2466 is a 1.8mm PTFE coated conventional siphon feed spray gun paired with the 21-2466 air cap — a high-flow siphon configuration delivering 15 SCFM and a 13" fan pattern for heavy body coatings and production finishing from a siphon cup. Well suited for automotive primers, high solid enamels, urethanes, and medium-to-heavy adhesives where a siphon setup is preferred and material viscosity sits in the 21–30+ second Zahn #2 range. Used in automotive refinishing, woodworking, and industrial finishing operations where the flexibility of siphon feed meets the need for solid heavy-coating performance. The PTFE hard coat on both the gun body and air cap resists material buildup and simplifies cleanup. All stainless steel fluid passages. US made.

Application

CET Application Match — Best for This Setup

The P100G-18-2466 is the CET Preferred Setup for operations that need a high-flow siphon configuration for heavy body finish coatings and medium-to-heavy adhesives without committing to a pressure feed system. Based on over 20 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team recommends this configuration for automotive refinishing shops, woodworking operations, and industrial finishing lines that prefer the versatility of siphon cup operation while spraying materials in the heavy viscosity range.

At 15 SCFM and a 13" maximum fan pattern, the 21-2466 air cap delivers strong atomization of 1.8mm materials from a siphon cup — handling automotive primers, high solid enamels, urethanes, and heavy body coatings that fall in the upper end of the medium-to-heavy viscosity range. For the same 1.8mm orifice under pressure feed, the P100G-18-2263 or P100G-18-2266-3T offer more consistent high-volume flow for production runs.

• Automotive refinishing: 1.8mm siphon at 15 SCFM handles primers, base coats, and clear coats from a cup without requiring a pressure tank
• Woodworking and furniture finishing: High solid enamels and urethanes atomize cleanly through the 21-2466 siphon cap at production flow rates
• Medium-to-heavy adhesives: PTFE coated body and air cap resist adhesive buildup for faster cleanup between material changes
• Versatile bench and production use: Siphon cup setup keeps the configuration portable and practical for varied work without a fixed pressure supply

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the 21-2466 a strong choice for heavy coatings from a siphon cup?

The 21-2466 runs at 15 SCFM — the highest air consumption of any siphon cap in the P100G lineup paired with a 1.8mm orifice. That air volume provides the atomization energy needed to properly break up heavier materials from a siphon cup without the assist of pressurized fluid delivery. It’s the go-to siphon cap for 1.8mm setups handling materials at the upper end of the medium viscosity range.

When should I choose pressure feed over this siphon setup at 1.8mm?

For continuous production runs, very high viscosity materials, or applications where flow consistency across a full tank is critical, a pressure feed configuration such as the P100G-18-2263 or P100G-18-2266-3T will outperform siphon feed. Siphon feed works best for batch work, varied cup-change applications, and situations where portability is a priority. Not sure which is right? Call or text CET at 586-210-0555.

Can this setup handle automotive clear coat?

Yes — the 1.8mm orifice at 15 SCFM handles automotive clear coats and base coats effectively from a siphon cup. The PTFE coated body and air cap also make cleanup faster after isocyanate-based clears and catalyzed materials. CET’s technical team can confirm suitability for your specific clear coat formulation — call or text 586-210-0555.

What repair kit does the Panther 100G use?

All Panther 100G configurations use repair kit 10-110, which includes all wear seals, o-rings, springs, and needle seal components for a complete rebuild. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm availability for same-day shipment.

Is a carbide nozzle available at 1.8mm for abrasive materials?

Yes — the 31-0618V carbide nozzle is a drop-in replacement for the standard 1.8mm stainless nozzle and significantly extends service life when spraying abrasive or particle-laden coatings. CET’s team can advise on whether carbide is warranted for your specific application.

Where can I find the full Panther 100G parts manual?

The full parts manual with exploded diagram, parts list, and air cap chart is available on the Panther P100G Spare Parts page or via the download button below. CET includes documentation with every order.

Why Buy From CET

The CET Difference

Why Choose the Panther 100G

PTFE Coated Durability for Demanding Applications

The Panther 100G is the only gun in the C.A. Technologies conventional lineup with a PTFE hard coat on both the gun body and air cap. This matters most when spraying adhesives, contact cements, and other sticky or aggressive coatings that tend to foul standard aluminum gun bodies and air cap faces.

• PTFE hard coat body & air cap: Prevents adhesive from bonding to surfaces, dramatically reducing cleaning time and extending component life.
• All stainless steel fluid passages: Full chemical resistance across solvent-based, waterborne, and aggressive adhesive formulations.
• Heavy duty needle spring: Maintains consistent trigger response and needle return under continuous production use.
• Forged aluminum body: Lightweight and durable — built for all-day production use without fatigue.
• 17 air cap options: From 0.6mm siphon to 2.8mm pressure — one platform covers the full range of coating viscosities.
