    That is the airvalve R-0021, It is threaded in and will not just come apart unless unthreaded counterclockwise. The part looks like it has some pretty deep gouges, maybe from pliers in the second picture. Where did those come from?

    the problem is there are no threads on this piece. it fits right in but i cant find why or how it could have gone together. the gouges are from pliers trying to seperate the piece from the hose after it fell out. i was pulling my airbrush off of the holder and the hose got caught an it just pulled apart :-X

    After a closer look it seems the airvalve broke leaving the threaded portion in the airbrush body.

    See the R-0021, that is what it is supposed to look like.

    If I wasn't heading to the Texas show I would say send it here. You should send the brush and the piece that broke off to Badger. The address is on the papers in the airbrush case.
