Compatible with the RichPen Apollo 113C
The RichPen Needle Cap 29723 is listed for the RichPen Apollo 113C 0.3 mm gravity-feed airbrush. Confirm both the airbrush model and manufacturer SKU before selecting this replacement component.
Other RichPen airbrushes may use needle caps with different dimensions or fitting arrangements, even when the parts appear similar.
Protects the Airbrush Needle Tip
The needle cap is installed at the front of the compatible airbrush and surrounds the exposed needle tip. It helps reduce the chance of accidental contact that could bend or damage the needle during handling.
A properly fitted needle cap also provides a protective boundary around the front needle and nozzle area while allowing atomized paint to exit the airbrush.
When the Needle Cap May Need Replacement
- The original needle cap is missing.
- The cap is bent, cracked, dented, or physically damaged.
- The threads no longer engage correctly with the airbrush head.
- The cap no longer sits evenly around the needle tip.
- Dried paint or damage prevents proper installation.
- The original component was lost during cleaning or maintenance.
Product Notice: This listing includes one RichPen Needle Cap 29723 only. The needle, nozzle, nozzle cap, head assembly, airbrush body, and complete airbrush are not included.
Compatibility Notice: Compatibility is listed for the RichPen Apollo 113C 0.3 mm airbrush. Do not select a replacement needle cap based only on appearance.
Installation and Inspection Guidance
- Confirm that the airbrush is a RichPen Apollo 113C.
- Check that the required replacement component uses SKU 29723.
- Inspect the needle tip before installing the replacement cap.
- Remove dried paint from the cap threads and surrounding head area.
- Begin threading the needle cap carefully by hand.
- Do not force, cross-thread, or overtighten the replacement cap.
- Confirm that the needle remains centered within the cap opening.
- Test the spray pattern with cleaner or water before spraying paint.
Inspect Related Front-End Components
When replacing the needle cap, inspect the needle, nozzle, nozzle cap, threads, and surrounding head assembly for dried paint, wear, or physical damage.
A bent needle or damaged nozzle may continue to affect the spray pattern even after a new needle cap has been installed.
Cleaning and Needle Cap Care
Remove dried paint from the needle cap with an airbrush cleaner compatible with the paint being removed. Avoid using excessive force or hard tools that may damage the opening or threads.
Allow the cleaned component to dry before reinstallation. Start the threads carefully by hand and avoid overtightening.
