Compatible RichPen Apollo Airbrushes
The RichPen 0.2mm Needle 29710 is listed for the RichPen Apollo 112A 0.2mm gravity-feed airbrush and the RichPen Apollo 112B 0.2mm gravity-feed airbrush.
Confirm the airbrush model, needle size, and manufacturer SKU before ordering. Airbrush needles can appear similar while using different lengths, tapers, diameters, or tip profiles.
Restore the Original 0.2mm Needle Setup
The needle moves through the internal airbrush body and seats inside the compatible nozzle. Its position helps control when paint begins flowing and how much paint is delivered during spraying.
Replacing a bent, worn, or damaged needle with the correct model-specific component helps restore the intended 0.2mm configuration of the compatible RichPen Apollo airbrush.
When the Airbrush Needle May Need Replacement
- The needle tip is bent, hooked, flattened, or visibly damaged.
- The spray pattern remains uneven after proper cleaning.
- The needle no longer seats correctly inside the compatible nozzle.
- Paint continues flowing after the trigger is released.
- The needle surface is scratched, worn, or difficult to clean.
- The original needle was lost during maintenance.
Product Notice: This listing includes one RichPen 0.2mm Needle 29710 only. The complete airbrush, nozzle, nozzle cap, needle cap, handle, and other replacement components are not included.
Handling Notice: The needle tip is sharp and delicate. Handle it carefully and avoid contact with hard surfaces. Keep the needle protected when it is outside the airbrush.
Installation and Inspection Guidance
- Confirm that the airbrush is a RichPen Apollo 112A or 112B.
- Confirm that the compatible nozzle uses a 0.2mm setup.
- Loosen the needle chucking mechanism before removing the old needle.
- Clean the internal needle passage before installation.
- Insert the replacement needle slowly and without force.
- Stop when the needle seats gently inside the compatible nozzle.
- Do not press the needle firmly into the nozzle opening.
- Test the airbrush with cleaner or water before spraying paint.
Check the Compatible Nozzle
Inspect the 0.2mm nozzle before installing the replacement needle. A cracked, enlarged, or damaged nozzle may continue to cause an uneven spray pattern and can damage the tip of a new needle.
Needle and nozzle sizes should match. Mixing components from different size configurations may affect paint flow, prevent correct seating, or damage the replacement parts.
Cleaning and Needle Care
Remove paint residue using an airbrush cleaner that is compatible with the paint being sprayed. Wipe from the rear of the needle toward the tip so cloth fibers or cleaning material do not catch against the sharp point.
Avoid scraping the needle with abrasive tools. After cleaning, inspect the tip under suitable lighting before reinstalling it in the airbrush.
