Technician's Notes

1. Item Descriptions

    
   I'm not into big long descriptions so the name Iwata calls some parts and what I call those parts aren't always the same.  I stopped calling the same part different names based soley on which model the airbrush happens to be.  I realize this could make my parts guide annoying.  For the annoyance, I apologize.

2. Changing Tip Size

   
   Always change out the needle, nozzle, nozzle cap, the needle packing set, and possibly the needle chucking guide for best performance.

3. The 0.3mm Nozzle Cap Doesn't Fit for the A+, B+, and SB+

    
   Yeah, they don't.  It's an incomplete conversion.  I have known people to change out only what they can and be happy with the results.  But I've also seen it go the other way.

4. Teflon Needle Packing Set

    
   Replaces both the Needle Packing O-Ring and the Needle Packing Screw found on the original High Performance series.  Teflon is solvent proof, however it doesn't compress as well, so it will feel different than the standard o-rings.  (I actually like the old o-rings better!)

5. Non-Teflon Needle Packing Set

    
   For those of you who still like the old o-rings better, you'll need to consult the High Performance Parts Guide.  Stick with the same model and everything should be fine.  Do remember if you want to go back you'll need both the o-ring and the screw to start but the o-ring is the only part that wears out at all.

6. Two Needle Springs?

    
   Another strange anomaly from Japan.  As far as I can tell both parts look and behave the same, but they're listed as seperate parts.

7. Iwata doesn't sell airbrush bodies

    
   Bodies aren't for sale for one very pertinent reason.  They're too expensive.  They cost a little less than buying a new airbrush.  I've included part numbers and price codes so you can see for yourself...but seriously, don't bother ordering them.

8. Air Valve Sets

    
   If you're having problems with the air valve and just can't figure out what's happening, try replacing the whole set instead of getting in too deep.  Of course, I don't think it's actually hard to troubleshoot the various parts.

9. Air Valve Guide

    
   It's really just a screw.  A pair of tweezers will let you get in there to screw or unscrew this part from the airbrush body.

10. Three Triggers?

    
    Two of the triggers are mostly the same except for groving on the top.  The third trigger with the attached air piston is for the HP-BC because of the angled air valve.
    

11. The Lid for the HP-C+

     
    It's a standard Iwata 1/3 oz fluid cup lid completely compatible and interchangeable with lids from other Iwata C-style airbrushes.

12. The Iwata Wrench

     
    If you lose your wrench, no worries.  A crescent wrench will take it's place easily enough.  Just don't screw the Head Cap on too tight...
     
    I have also discovered that Iwata will replace it free of charge should you happen to lose yours.
