Learn which ZM needle and nozzle size fits your Zoukei-Mura airbrush model. Get clear decision rules for Pro-Model A, B, and C parts.
Quick answer
For ZM Pro-Model A airbrushes, use the ZM Nozzle for Pro-Model A and a compatible 0.3mm needle. For Pro-Model C, choose the ZM Nozzle for Pro-Model C. The ZM Needle for Pro-Model A/B/C works across all three models.
Why nozzle and needle matching matters
Using the wrong nozzle or needle can cause poor paint flow, sputtering, or damage to the airbrush. The Zoukei-Mura Pro-Model series uses specific part numbers for a reason: the nozzle and needle are precision-matched to the airbrush body. Mixing parts between models may not seat correctly, leading to leaks or clogs.
Trade-off: Pro-Model A vs. Pro-Model C nozzles
The Pro-Model A nozzle (0.3mm) is ideal for general painting and detail work. The Pro-Model C nozzle may have a slightly different internal taper, affecting spray pattern. If you own a Pro-Model A, do not buy a Pro-Model C nozzle—it won't fit. Stick to the model-specific part.
Both nozzles are extremely small and delicate. Over-tightening can crack or strip the threads. Always hand-tighten gently.
Decision rules for ZM airbrush parts
- Identify your airbrush model: Check the label on the airbrush body or the original packaging. It will say Pro-Model A, B, or C. The nozzle must match this model exactly.
- Choose the correct nozzle: For Pro-Model A, order the ZM Nozzle for Pro-Model A (product ID 1597124). For Pro-Model C, order the ZM Nozzle for Pro-Model C (product ID 1597123). Pro-Model B shares the same nozzle as A? (Not specified; confirm before ordering.) If you are unsure of your model, check the instruction manual or contact support.
- Select the needle: The ZM Needle for Pro-Model A/B/C (product ID 1597122) fits all three models. No need to worry about needle model matching—just ensure it's clean and undamaged before installation. Keep a spare needle on hand for quick swaps between colors or after a clog.
- Install with care: Gently hand-tighten the nozzle. Do not use tools. Over-tightening can crack the nozzle or strip threads. Always test with thinner or water before painting.
