Nozzle and needles how to identify.

[JR]

Unfortunately I've mixed up the above, is there any way visibly to identify the nozzle.
I can measure the needle tip but the air cap ?
All very annoying, as there is nothing on the web. It must happen to others.
Any help would be more than welcome. There is a U tube video, but the sound is so poor not to mention the video is so bad you can't tell whats he's doing ..

Thanks
John.

Hi John
The H&S needles have rings on the end to denote the size and I think the nozzle has rings too. Look HERE - scroll down the page.

Top man Jim, many thanks.

Off to check, after printing out.

I think that link refers to the older style needles and caps John, if you have the new V2 versions the markings are simplified.

I'm on my phone so can't check but I'm sure it's 2 rings = 0.2, 4 rings 0.4

As Andy said, H&S have made is simple, a .4 is like this

Really handy to know, especially as I have the 0.2 & 0.4 but can't remember which one is currently fitted ...

Sorry to hijack the thread, but is there any benefit in upgrading to the V2 needles if the V1's are still intact and working?

Not hi jacking Bob, made a decision , up grading both needles to the new V2 and two nozzles. Will end up with a set of .4 and .2 . So yes a great benefit .

Just to add to this for anyone that might search for this info in the future - the V2 nozzles are marked similarly to the needles - 2 thin bands for the 0.2mm, 4 on the 0.4mm
