Product Name
Leister 105.575 Tubular Nozzle 5mm Round (aka Pencil Tip)
Brief Description
The Leister 105.575 Tubular Nozzle, commonly known as a 5mm Round or Pencil Tip nozzle, is a precision accessory designed for Leister hot air tools such as the Triac ST, Triac AT, and Diode S. It is engineered to deliver a concentrated stream of hot air, making it ideal for detailed and intricate plastic welding, fabrication, and heat-related applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precision plastic welding, including overlap, butt, and melt welding techniques.- Speed welding applications when used with appropriate speed welding tips and plastic welding rods.- Plastic fabrication tasks requiring focused heat.- Repairing plastic components such as bumpers, waste containers, and playground equipment.- Heat sealing of single-ply flexible plastics, lining membranes, coated materials, films, foams, and sheets.- Shrinking heat-shrinkable sleeves, hoses, connectors, and packaging for electrical components.- Detailed work in roofing membrane welding and flooring material installation.- Activating or dissolving solvent-free and hot-melt adhesives.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services (for roofing and flooring applications)- Plastic Fabrication- Automotive Service/Repair (for plastic component repairs)- General Manufacturing (for various plastic processing and heat applications)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer (for vinyl and other flooring material welding)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (for heat sealing coated fabrics)- Sign & Display (for plastic fabrication and joining)

Known backups / known substitutes
- **Other Leister Nozzles:** Leister offers a wide range of nozzles for different applications, including wider slot nozzles for larger areas, speed welding nozzles for faster rod welding, and specialized nozzles for specific profiles.- **Alternative Hot Air Welding Nozzles:** Nozzles from other manufacturers designed for similar hot air tools.- **Adhesives:** For joining plastics where welding is not feasible or desired.- **Mechanical Fasteners:** Screws, rivets, or clips for joining plastic components.- **Solvent Welding:** For specific types of plastics that can be dissolved and fused.- **Ultrasonic Welding:** An industrial process for joining thermoplastics using high-frequency acoustic vibrations.- **Laser Welding:** For high-precision, contamination-free plastic joining, particularly in sensitive industries like medical technology.
Comparison Note
The Leister 105.575 Tubular Nozzle (Pencil Tip) is distinguished by its ability to deliver a highly focused and precise stream of hot air, making it superior for intricate work, detailed repairs, and applications requiring concentrated heat in small areas. In contrast, wider slot nozzles are designed for broader heat distribution over larger surfaces, while dedicated speed welding nozzles are optimized for faster, continuous welding with a welding rod. This pencil tip nozzle can be used in conjunction with speed welding tips for enhanced precision in rod welding.
