J6P5E JoWo #6 Housing for Pilot Size 5 Nibs

Description

J6P5E JoWo #6 housing allows use of a Pilot size 5 nib and feed into fountain pens that use non-converter JoWo #6 nib assemblies, or pens that have been converted to eyedroppers.

Manufactured in the USA by Flexible Nib Factory LLC from black ebonite from Nikko (Japan).

Pilot 5 size nib and feed not included.

Installation Instructions

Remove the feed and nib from your Pilot Custom Heritage 92 pen (or other size 5 pen from Pilot):

• Empty your pen of ink in your usual way and rinse out the residue.
• Before removing the nib and feed, note the position of the nib in the section. You will want to have the nib and feed fit similarly in the J6P5E housing.
• Grasp the nib and feed, at the base only, keeping your fingers off the tines and tip of the nib, and pull them straight out of the pen. If the nib and feed can’t be easily removed, soak the nib and feed in a dilute household ammonia solution for a few hours, and this should allow you to remove the nib and feed from the housing. As a last resort, the nib and feed can be removed using a nib block and punch, but this method should not be necessary unless the pen has been allowed to dry with ink inside.

To install the Pilot size 5 nib and feed into the J6P5E housing:

• Place the Pilot size 5 nib on the feed so it fits securely and snugly into the slots on the end of the feed.
• Without twisting, and keeping your fingers only on the base of the nib and feed, insert the nib and feed fully into the housing. The markings on the nib should be aligned as they were when the nib and feed were installed into your Pilot size 5 pen’s section.
• Remove the nib assembly from your fountain pen by rotating the nib assembly counter clockwise.
• Install the J6P5E nib assembly by screwing it into your pen. Do not over tighten.
• Note that the feed will extend 0.039″ (1mm) out the end of the housing. Be sure the pen you are using can accommodate this feature.
• Ink your pen and enjoy.
