Badger Airbrush Nozzle Sizes

One of the challenges using Badger airbrushes is they identify their nozzle/needle sizes in ways different from other airbrush makers. I’m accustomed to sizes measured in millimetres. Badger prefers to use descriptive terms instead, and one term can have different meanings, depending on the model of airbrush in question. For example, a “fine detail” nozzle in my Renegade Krome is considerably smaller in diameter than the “fine detail” nozzle in my Patriot 105.

This chart is mainly to assist me in getting my head around Badger’s system for sizing. You’re welcome to refer to it for general guidance, but remember it’s not an official chart, and is subject to change.

Renegade Series:

Ultra Fine Detail= 0.21mm

Fine Detail = 0.33mm

Patriot Series:

Super Detail = 0.33mm

Fine Detail = 0.40mm

General Purpose = 0.50mm

Sotar Series:

Fine Detail: 0.21mm

Medium Detail: 0.25mm

Heavy Detail: 0.31mm

Regarding Patriot 105 needle / nozzle sizes:

The one with the F is the standard .5mm Patriot nozzle size.  The larger one is the .76mm medium.  There is a super fine conversion kit that is .35mm.
