Gaahleri Suction Cup with Metal Lid (Pack of 2 units)

The Gaahleri Siphon Cup: Fluidity and Control in Every Painting Session

When the work pace is demanding and colour changes occur without pause, the feeding system makes all the difference. The Gaahleri Metal Lid Siphon Cup (GA-43059) meets that demand with a robust combination of materials and a design tailored for the modeller who cannot afford interruptions.

Features of the Suction System

This accessory brings together the elements that distinguish a quality cup from a temporary solution:

• High-Strength Metal Lid: withstands continuous contact with solvents and cleaning products without degrading or losing its seal.
• Transparent Glass Jar: allows for constant monitoring of paint levels and facilitates thorough cleaning after each use.
• Hermetic Seal: the metal connectors eliminate pressure loss, maintaining consistent suction and uniform atomisation throughout the session.
• Quick Change System: the detachable reservoir allows for switching from one colour to another, or from a cleaning product to paint, in seconds.

A Pack Designed for Real Productivity

The set includes 2 complete units, allowing for two different colours to be prepared simultaneously, or reserving one of the cups exclusively for cleaning products. This practical advantage is particularly noticeable in projects with multiple layers or in decorative work where continuity of workflow is essential.

Whether you are finishing figure miniatures, painting static models, or working on slot car parts with complex colour transitions, having a second reservoir on hand avoids unnecessary waits and keeps the airbrush ready for the next step.

Compatibility and Use

The suction feeding system is suitable for airbrushes with a bottom cup inlet. Before use, it is advisable to check that the diameter and type of connection of the lid are compatible with your specific equipment. The metal lid and glass jar are easily disassembled for effective cleaning with common modelling solvents (compatible with brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units does this pack include?

The GA-43059 pack includes 2 complete siphon cups, each with its metal lid and glass jar.

Why choose a glass jar over a plastic one?

Glass does not retain paint residues and is not affected by common solvents, making for more effective cleaning and preventing colour contamination between sessions. Additionally, it allows for clear visibility of the remaining paint level.

Does the metal lid withstand the use of strong solvents?

Yes. The metal lid is designed to resist prolonged contact with solvents without degrading, unlike plastic lids that may deteriorate with certain products.

What practical advantage does the hermetic seal provide?

A seal that does not lose pressure ensures that suction remains constant throughout the session. This translates to more uniform atomisation and fewer interruptions to adjust the equipment.

Is it compatible with all suction feed airbrushes?

Compatibility depends on the type and diameter of your airbrush connection. We recommend checking your equipment specifications before purchase to ensure the system fits correctly.

Can I use one cup for paint and the other for cleaning at the same time?

Exactly, that is one of the most common uses of the double pack: keeping one cup with the active colour and the second with the cleaning product ready, streamlining airbrush maintenance between passes.
