thanks for that! I'm new at this, and have a cheap brush that has that valve. It was clear that it reduced air flow, but I just had no idea why! This explained it perfectly, and I'm eager to give it a go.
I use mine all the time, really comes in handy eliminating the need to adjust the air pressure at the regulator. Also, you can close off the MAC valve and pull far back on the trigger and get a spattering effect.
I have to say thank you for the informational videos. I just purchased my first airbrush kit with the Mac valve. I can't wait to practice and make something creative. I have to be truthful. I purchased the airbrush kit touch-up wrecked rc airplanes after repairing them. But watching your videos inspires me to do more than touching up wrecked rc planes.
Thank you for that. I actually stopped using airbrushes with a MAC valve, mostly because I didn't fully understand its purpose, or that paint dilation needed to be different. That was more the miss for me I think. I wasn't changing my dilution. I will most certainly give it a go...I might invest in a mac valve equipped airbrush soon
I have a MAC valve that is installed directly before the quick connect fitting on my airline so it is available to use on the airbrushes that don't come with one internally. It works a treat and serves a a bit of a handle at the same time. Have a great day, and thanks for the great video :)
Thanks for the info,it’s very useful! I have an Iwata Revolution which I use for all my general work and a Sotar 20/20 which is for my fine work. I have quick connects on all my brushes but on one of my hoses I have the Mac valve built into the disconnect. I don’t use the Mac valve very much since I like to know what pressure I’m shooting at. That said, I usually thin all my paints 50/50 or 60/40 thinner to paint and at about 12-15 psi. The only time I use 25-30 psi is with Stynylrez primer. I work primarily on 1/87 HO and 1/160 N scale models. Watching you do large artworks has seriously tempted me to venture out of my box and try something more challenging. Again thank you for you videos, they are very informative and have answered many questions!
Thank you for your comment and kind words , glad you enjoy my vids and that you are tempted to try some larger scale artworks , I’m sure you will do amazing given that you are currently working on smaller projects and that takes control and precise details 👍🏻
Yeaaah good Demo! I also use the valve without reducer, in this way, I can spatter in a controlled way, less pressure thicker drops! More pressure thinnner paint drops!
Nice info on it's precision in comparison to playing with your main regulator. Wish u would have shown your take on spatter effect too. Thumbs up to all your help on the journey 👍
Thank you , I may show some spatter info in a later info if that helps 🤔 the main thing is the convenience and the fact that you can run the psi so low by using the Mac valve , if you run your psi too low on your compressor then it will work similar to a point and then it will start to spatter which is great if you want that effect 😉
@@AirbrushAsylum Highly appreciate all you do for us beginners! Just piddling around with an old VL, Talon full set, Matcto .3 (broke off the nozzle threads) and got it out simple with a toothpick.. Besides the mess, loving the Sparmax GP 50. Really loving how it handles whites down to details. But as it is, still got to get that 771 my pennies are screaming for...
I LOVE the MAC valve on my Master G44! I was surprised how much I loved it! I have been using it when I stipple because it allows much finer control. Add the limiter into the mix and I have more control than I ever thought possible. My new Paache Talon does not have the MAC. Getting ready to polish needles tonight to make all my brushes better!
Dude thank you! Just started airbrushing and couldn't find what was the purpose of that vale. I knew it reduced the airflow but couldn't find why. Now I know and once I figure out the ratio for thinning I might be good to go.
Having just started using a Procon Boy with a valve... yes, it's worth it for me. I haven't used the airbrush much, but just the small amount i've used it i've found it really convenient.
Great video. I have a CRIOS PS-289 and didn't fully understand how to use this feature. Building Scale models I will have to give this a try instead of going to the compressor so often to fine tune the airflow. Thanks again for another awesome video!
Thanks a lot for teaching how to use air brush and painting with it. I had some air brushes but never try it, out of fear of making mistakes. With your tips, I shall try.
You should make a video about what type of paint we can use,how much you have to reduce it so you can spray it,can we use reduced acrylic car colour and other stuff like that,you are awesome and super helpful keep it up!
Have you ever considered doing a radio controlled buggy body? I would love to see you do one on your channel especially as you work from back to front as you paint on the inside with the detail laid first
Would you get the same effect, or a different one, if you had reduced the air pressure at the compressor/regulator, instead of using the "Micro Air Control" (Iwata's definition of the acronym) MAC valve?
Sure, but consider how much fiddling he did to dial it in, would you want to be doing that with the compressor directly? Would you then want to remember to reset to the proper psi on the compressor after? It's a convenience, much like. Oat features that drive up the price of an object
Yes, over thinning and dropping your psi will work but as others have mentioned here it is a convenience thing and also keep in mind that you are still getting full air coming into your brush the mac valve is only reducing the flow , therefore you can go really low which if you turn your compressor to the equivalent it may spatter your paint 👍🏻👍🏻
Can't get my airbrush to perform like that. I think it's more you than the airbrush. It may be against your better judgment, but please do a video to show us that performance like that can be done with a cheap Chinese airbrush. Always impressed by your skills! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your comment and yes, experience and lots of practice definitely helps, I can still pull great detail out of a cheaper brush but parts don’t last as long and it’s harder to get smooth performance out of them, I will keep your suggestion in mind for future vids 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. Now I know what their actual purpose is. I use the MAC valve for stippling effects. Basically setting the MAC valve so low the airbrush starts to spit the paint rather than an even spray. The result is a random ‘star field’ like effect.
, I have a Mac valve on one of my airbrushes and I tried it I'm texting me getting used to I'm going to get me one of them creos airbrushes the 18 I'm going to try it out and it's affordable and cuz I bought one of those Steeler hardback or hardback Steeler airbrushes I haven't got it yet I'm still waiting on it but it's supposed to be an ultra fine needle in it 15 I believe anyway I'm looking forward to getting it and trying it out I know I'm not saying the name of that airbrush right but I'm sure you know what it is and once again thank you for all the work you do to help people understand airbrushing and made a living God Jesus Christ bless you and your endeavor

I find Mac valves bit of a waste in that you could spend an £50 to go from a iwata Hp to Hp high line same brush just just with the valve so paying £50 more for a valve, it also stops the airbrush from fitting in the holder and I find they get in my way when holding my airbrush. I purchased a TC2000 + 5L tank it comes with a portable holder free (can buy separate) you can alter the psi from my desk so for me it would just be silly as my valve is less than 1f away! For about £8 you can get a set of 3 quick release couplings with Mac valves built-in so you get the valve on the brush but it's not in the way, it seems a better cheaper option to me but hayho great video as usual 🤔
@Sam Mariano just for fun I will make a video today showing how a £70 extra upgrade seems totally pointless to me. If you can watch it and say at the end I'm wrong or don't make a very very very good point, that you couldn't use that money towards a better brush then I say you must have money to burn!
@Sam Mariano Why is saving people money wasted energy! I mean I have an airbrushing channel and I'm doing a review of the CM-SB and HP-SB plus so not difficult to fit in mac valves, show how the £10 hose mac value is better value.
Thanks for sharing this information. I might look for different airbrush than the Paashe with a mac valve, which does not work, it bubbles, and I have cleaned it. Actually I have two and they both do the same thing. I have Iwata's and might get one of those with the mac valve. I also have a SharpenAir that has straightened my needles.
I like the MAC valve. But is there any way to make it so its not blowing air constantly? My gun blows air constantly compared to my other gun without the MAC valve. The compressor is constantly running with the MAC valve. Any way to fix this? Great videos btw.
Really enjoyed your videos as usual what airbrush compressor are you using I have an old iwata smart jet compressor can't get over 35 lb with it an HP CS Iwata airbrush but not with a Mac valve thinking about upgrading
I have a H&S INFINITY no MAC and the Iwata with the MAC. They are both really great brushes but seriously the Iwata is my pick because of the MAC, it's just too easy to adjust that all important airflow.
Not really. That is additional mantainance cost especially when it start to leak (the spare cost is higher depending on the brands). There is cheap mac valve that attached to quick release device if you want that air pressure valve. Its cheaper than replacement parts from the brands of airbrush. Most compressor nowadays have a pressure gauge and I also use that as my air pressure control if I use airbrush without the mac valve.
You are a fantastic teacher! I am not a very good learner. I am not an artist. I have been using my airbrush to add designs to shirts an leather jackets (no T- shirts) I have a Harder & Steenbeck Infinity with psi adjustment at th gun. I am having a hard time time with th paint on paint off also using two hands. Is you course trying to teach me to draw? and is th price one time an how long do I have at that price? I have seen th preview. Thank you ! Cheers!
I've thought about buying an airbrush with a MAC valve. I'm definitely not an artist. I just do scale models. But, I have actually looked at that very GSI in your video. I have to be careful, though; as I have large hands. I have a Richpen that I've had for 15 years or better. It probably has less than 25 hours on it. Just too dang small.

There isn't one. Save your money and get an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. Looks around but it should be under 200.00. You'll need a oil/water separator and make sure to get an air compressor with a tank on it.
40 PSI ??? what ???? have you read your arirbrushes instructions sheets? most new technology airbrushes work from 5 PSI to 35 PSI tops.... why whould you need 40 PSI even with the MAC valve? great airbrushes!!! I wish I could purchase the Iwata Kustom Micron funny thing you can achieve the same results with a fine needle/needle-cone setup and adjusting your air pressure from the air filter/regulator
I know , never had an issue with 40psi…I remember hosting the late Mike Lavallee for his Australian tour and the first thing he said to all students was ‘crank the psi up to 90’ …he wasn’t joking , as he loved to work fast and get that paint flying….I wouldn’t recommend 90 but in all my years I feel that 30-40 is perfect for all round airbrushing and then I generally reduce the psi to 18-20psi for fine detailing 👍🏻👍🏻
I was not born with the artistic talent to be able to draw something without it looking like a 3 year old drew it, but I am into Rc, models, and 3d printing. Your videos have given me the knowledge needed to paint minatures and other things I 3d print. Just made a Multipass from the 5th element for my girlfriend's vaccination card. LOL I worked so hard, but only the hardest of sci fi geeks get it!
@Funkelberry McJiggletits I get it ;-) I'm also an rc guy who doesn't shine when it comes to painting. I have brand new bodies from 4 year old kits in need of painting. I finally crossed the river of emotional turmoil & collected all the airbrushing equipment I needed to get started. I'm surprised at how well some thigs turn out when I really put my mind to it. Good luck in your journey.
A MAC valve is a simple needle valve, and it controls Air Flow, not AIR PRESSURE, only a regulator can control Pressure. A Mac valve and the needle/Nozzle is the same thing, they both use a needle and seat to control flow. The nozzle is the seat, and the needle is the needle, they both control FLOW, JUST THE FLOW, EITHER THE FLOW OF LIQUID OR AIR, NOT PRESSURE!

I'm also an rc guy who doesn't shine when it comes to painting. I have brand new bodies from 4 year old kits in need of painting. I finally crossed the river of emotional turmoil & collected all the airbrushing equipment I needed to get started. I'm surprised at how well some thigs turn out when I really put my mind to it.
Good luck in your journey.
Mac valves do not control air pressure. Talk to a plumber and they can make it easy for you to understand pressure.
Good luck
A MAC valve is a simple needle valve, and it controls Air Flow, not AIR PRESSURE, only a regulator can control Pressure.
A Mac valve and the needle/Nozzle is the same thing, they both use a needle and seat to control flow.
The nozzle is the seat, and the needle is the needle, they both control FLOW, JUST THE FLOW, EITHER THE FLOW OF LIQUID OR AIR, NOT PRESSURE!
Thinning the paint seems to be the secret…
