Badger 41-035: Identify the Heavy Spray Regulator
Badger 41-035 is the heavy spray regulator identified in the Model 175 Crescendo parts list. It is a component of the airbrush's spray assembly. Before choosing it, identify the part on the diagram and distinguish it from an air-pressure regulator fitted to an air supply.
Locate the exact component
The word “regulator” appears on different kinds of airbrush equipment. In this listing, 41035 is MM's compact form of Badger's part number 41-035. Match that number and the illustrated component to the Model 175 diagram. This is not a compressor accessory with a pressure gauge.
If you are replacing a missing or damaged part, establish which spray configuration the airbrush uses before ordering. A photograph can help identify a part's shape, but the model and part references determine the supported application.
Check the heavy combination
Badger's parts list identifies the heavy configuration with spray regulator 41-035, tip 41-005 and needle 41-008. The medium configuration uses different references: regulator 41-034, tip 41-004 and needle 41-007.
Those groups matter when deciding between a direct replacement and a configuration change. Buying the heavy regulator alone does not establish that the remaining medium parts form a correct heavy setup. Use the manufacturer's instructions to identify the complete combination required.
Inspect and test according to the manual
Follow the Model 175 instructions for removal, inspection and assembly. Do not use force to make a mismatched or damaged component fit. Keep the removed part available while you compare the references and check the diagram.
After the correct assembly is in place, test on a prepared sample before painting the model. Evaluate the paint and equipment together using the first-spray guide. Replacing this component does not rule out a separate paint-preparation or cleaning issue.

Choose this replacement for the supported Model 175 heavy configuration. It is the spray-assembly component identified by 41-035, not a pressure-control unit for a compressor.
Questions about the regulator
Does it control compressor pressure?
No. This listing is the Model 175 heavy spray regulator component. Choose air-supply pressure equipment separately for your setup.
Are a needle and tip included?
This listing is for the regulator. The matching heavy needle and tip are separate part references.
Can I combine it with medium components?
Follow the Model 175 matched-parts instructions. The heavy and medium configurations have different regulator, tip and needle references.
