Cheers,

I think I have the manual. Will check on the weekend and let you know. My Dad had an Iwata gun and I thought it was excellent.

Look for the numbers on the air cap and the fluid nozzle that will tell you what the gun is meant to spray.

Tell us and we can look it up for you.

Most are set up to spray lacquer.

Excellent gun I hope its standard nozzle I cant recall the number but it would spray anything almost.

I still have my Sampson no need to change nozzle or tips

I agree with wheelin they are good guns shame I dont have one any more.

Not knowing what's what yet I found " /21 " on the outside cap where the spray comes out but couldn't find other numbers. I will get one of my boys to have a look tomorrow as I'm sure it's just my eye sight at the moment.

Cheers,

The W 70 is no longer in production but the company who has always been the importer is still selling Iwata spray guns. If you take off the air cap the number for the fluid tip should be on one of the square surfaces used to put the spanner to undo and tighten the tip.

You should be able to get any parts you need from them.

Look at the specification sheet and you will see the many different guns and the materials they are designed for.

Often people think that just because you have a 1.5 mm fluid tip it is for doing this or that but if you look at the chart you can see there are a few more things that may be in play such as how much air is needed to run the gun.

thanks for the link ,verry handy . cheers bob

Thanks for the help. Things going wrong at home with accidents, stolen and burnt out cars so I haven't been back to the shed until yesterday just to tidy up and forgot about the gun. Will get back to the shed later. Again thanks.
