Thanks for clicking on QuickTech.
Removing broken nozzle threads can be intimating. We show you how to remove broken nozzle threads safely with just a masking knife and a few easy turns. Then you’ll be ready to install your new nozzle and get back to painting.
Airbrush nozzles are made from soft metal to ensure air tight metal to metal connections. Small fixed nozzles have delicate threads and can occasionally break. Take care when removing nozzles for deep cleaning or replacement and always make sure you have a spare.
The technique shown here will work with any airbrush which has a small, fixed nozzle. Please note that airbrushes with compression fit nozzles, like Iwata Eclipse CS, do not need to have their nozzles unthreaded. Compression fit nozzles are considered a single piece.
Be aware that some airbrush parts, like needles and nozzles, wear out over time and will need to be replaced. Think of these parts like the tires on a car.
Why QuickTech? There’s no shortage of how-tos and tutorials on the internet but airbrushers are still searching for solutions to common problems. That’s why Iwata created the QuickTech Experience. We’ve created videos that get right to the point so you can fix your problem and get back to painting. No intro to skip, no banter to mute, nothing to speed through. Just the content you came for from the most trusted name in airbrush. Be sure to subscribe to our channel so you don’t miss the next QuickTech release!
***
Before disconnecting your airbrush from the air hose:
1. Make sure your compressor is off.
2. Then hold down the main lever to release any stored air.

Boy, you saved me from a mental breakdown and panic buying a completely new airbrush. You, sir, are a godsend, and have my eternal respect.

Once you know how to do it, it is pretty simple to fix. Thank you for the feedback!

Brilliant! I broke a nozzle off a year ago and it would cost more to have it fixed than what I paid for the airbrush. This worked perfect! Thank you.

Don’t over tighten, or it will break. The nozzle is made of a soft metal and is very delicate!

Why not make it out of hard metal

@Sluggo773 Год назад

yep found that out the hard way more then once

@iwatamedea1 Год назад

@@KenwayTheBonker A good thing to keep in mind is that most airbrush nozzles are manufactured from brass and other soft metals that allow for a better metal to metal connection when threaded into the airbrush. If a harder metal were used it would be more resistant to breakage but would not create a good seal, and this would dramatically affect performance. Because of the nature of the metal, nozzles are subject to wear and tear on all airbrushes, much like tires are subject to wear and tear on a car; but you raise an interesting question. If we do not see cars as defective because we must change the tires and we don’t consider airbrushes defective because we have to replace nozzles occasionally, then how can airbrush users measure quality? Quality can be found in the feel, consistency, and smooth handling. Also, in the longevity of the brushes, which for Iwata, can be decades. With varying preferences, people decide for themselves.

I would've never thought that this was so common that there were videos about it.

@iwatamedea1 2 месяца назад

Nozzles are delicate little pieces made of various metal alloys. The softer metals create optimal metal to metal seals and are delicate by nature. Meaning, they are subject to wear and tear under normal usage conditions. This is increasingly so when frequent and/ or aggressive cleaning practices are employed. So, it happens. We recommend not over tightening (a common mistake) when placing a new nozzle. Depending on frequency of use and cleaning practices, it is normal to replace a nozzle. Some people experience broken nozzles frequently, others go for years without a replacement. It really depends on all all the variables. We recommend having a spare on hand.

What if the brass piece the nozzle screws into is broke? Can't find a replacement piece anywhere

@merkusmerk8413 3 месяца назад

What if the actual thread inside the airbrush has been damaged. Is it that possible to repair? I think we damaged the thread while removing the broken nozle from the threads inside the airbrush.

@iwatamedea1 11 месяцев назад

Airbrush nozzles are made from soft metals so that they form a tight seal that creates the performance needed. Nozzles are considered a wear and tear part like the tires on a car. As a normal expectation, they may need to be replaced from time to time and most people keep a few on hand

@spezzington Год назад

I love youtube 😀

@fishhookcrazy 3 года назад

common sense would have me try that but if over tightening is the cause chances are an x-acto will not be sufficient

@psalmgaskill133 3 года назад

Just drill out the broken peace with a very small drill bit it worked perfect for me.

@chriszorrozua9895 3 года назад

i actually just used my xacto after over tightening. it works just fine

@buraneow 3 года назад

Then what would be? I still have chunks of the nozzle screw in my airbrush. An X-acto picking away at this just made it so that my nozzle head got all beat up.

@PENFOLD1962 3 года назад

I would have thought with the price tag of IWATA Airbrushes they would have sorted these quite obvious defects that even the cheaper brushes have! To me this just says "made the same as the cheaper Airbrushes". OVER PRICED OVER RATED.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Our goal with QuickTech is to give airbrush users solutions to common problems, whether they use Iwata airbrushes or another brands. Broken nozzle threads are an issue that many new users run into when taking apart their airbrushes when they use too much torque when unthreading the nozzle. A good thing to keep in mind is that most airbrush nozzles are manufactured from brass and other soft metals that allow for a better metal to metal connection when threaded into the airbrush. If a harder metal were used it would be more resistant to breakage but would not create a good seal, and this would dramatically affect performance.

@@iwatamedea1 I agree with Andrew Smith. I've only had the HP-CR a few weeks and already have to replace the nozzle. If it will not turn when the wrench is first used then there is no option but to use more "torque." (And the documentation that comes in the box is poor, proper use of the wrench is not explained, or even it's purpose.)
