Iwata Needle (E3) for Eclipse Airbrushes
The Iwata Needle (E3) IWS-6172 is a genuine replacement needle for Iwata Eclipse BS, CS and SBS airbrushes, as well as the Iwata Vault Kustom CS Airbrush. This finely made component is designed to provide smooth paint delivery and consistent spray performance when replacing the existing E3 needle.
The airbrush needle works with the nozzle to control paint delivery and atomisation. As a precision component, it should be handled carefully during removal, cleaning and installation to protect the needle and maintain reliable operation.
Directly Compatible Iwata Airbrushes
IWS-6172 directly fits the following Iwata airbrush models:
- Iwata Eclipse BS Airbrush
- Iwata Eclipse CS Airbrush
- Iwata Eclipse SBS Airbrush
- Iwata Vault Kustom CS Airbrush
Optional Fitment for Other Eclipse Models
The E3 needle can also be used with selected other Iwata Eclipse airbrushes when the appropriate matching components are fitted:
- Iwata Eclipse BCS 6 Pack with Iwata Zipper Case – requires Nozzle (E3) and Nozzle Cap (E3)
- Iwata Eclipse BCS Airbrush – requires Nozzle (E3) and Nozzle Cap (E3)
- Iwata Eclipse BCS Value Set – requires Nozzle (E3) and Nozzle Cap (E3)

For models requiring the additional E3 components, the needle should be used with the specified E3 nozzle and nozzle cap as part of the matching arrangement.
Replacing an Airbrush Needle
A replacement needle can be useful when the existing needle has been damaged or is no longer providing the expected spray performance. Because the needle is a finely engineered part of the airbrush, careful handling during fitting and maintenance helps protect it from accidental damage.
