Assembling a Gravity Feed Trigger Airbrush

Thanks for clicking on QuickTech. In this video we show you how to take apart a gravity feed trigger airbrush and put it back together.
Make sure your color cup is empty before following along! Please note that we do not recommend breaking down your airbrush as soon as you take it out of the packaging. Or even every day. The truth is that a proper cleaning routine is usually all you need to maintain your airbrush. But if you do need to replace a part or to troubleshoot your airbrush, this video will show you how disassemble and reassemble a gravity feed trigger airbrush so you won’t have any guesswork. We’re using a Neo for Iwata TRN1 in this video but you should be able to follow along with just about any gravity feed trigger model.
You’ll notice we use a wrench with tape around the jaws to remove the head cap. This will help you get a good grip without marring the finish.
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.

what about taking it to needle packing seal?

How do you prevent the nozzle to break on reassembly?

[@tornadoalley4495]

I’m confused. This video doesn’t show N1504 O-Ring Nozzle Cap or N0713 O-Ring Fluid Cup. They’re required, right? I ask because my N0713 o-ring disintegrated in cleaning solvent. And my N1504 o-ring has either disintegrated or gotten lost. Now I get bubbles around where N1504 should be seated. Thanks.

Thank you for your comment. The fluid cup o ring N0713 is present in this disassembly but it is not necessary to remove it. The N1504 Nozzle Cap O Ring is only a part for the TRN2, NOT for the TRN1. If you are seeing bubbles and air leaks try using a little bit of beeswax or Chapstick on the threads to create a better seal. For best results, refrain from immersing or soaking your airbrush in cleaning solution or solvents.
