Compatible RichPen Apollo Airbrushes
The RichPen Needle Cap 29700 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 before ordering. Needle caps from different airbrushes can appear similar while using different threads, dimensions, or internal clearances.
Protect the Airbrush Needle Tip
The airbrush needle extends through the nozzle and is vulnerable to bending or impact damage. The needle cap fits around the exposed tip and helps reduce accidental contact during normal handling and spraying.
A properly fitted needle cap also helps protect the user from accidental contact with the sharp needle tip while leaving the front opening clear for the spray pattern.
When the Needle Cap May Need Replacement
- The original needle cap is missing.
- The cap is bent or physically damaged.
- The threads are worn, damaged, or no longer seat correctly.
- Dried paint cannot be removed safely from the openings.
- The cap no longer provides proper clearance around the needle tip.
Product Notice: This listing includes one RichPen Needle Cap 29700 only. The airbrush, needle, nozzle, nozzle cap, head assembly, and other components are not included.
Installation Notice: Thread the needle cap onto the compatible airbrush carefully. Do not force or overtighten it, as this may damage the cap or the airbrush head threads.
Recommended Installation Checks
- Confirm that the airbrush is a RichPen Apollo 112A or 112B.
- Inspect the needle tip for bends or damage before installation.
- Clean dried paint from the surrounding head components.
- Begin threading the cap by hand to avoid cross-threading.
- Tighten only enough to seat the cap securely.
- Confirm that the needle tip does not touch the installed cap.
