Product Name
Leister 105.477 Wide Slot Nozzle 20 x 2 x 150mm, straight
Brief Description
This Leister 105.477 Wide Slot Nozzle is a precision-engineered accessory designed for use with Leister hot air guns, specifically the TRIAC AT, TRIAC ST, and DIODE models. It features a straight, push-fit design and is crafted from durable stainless steel. The nozzle is engineered to deliver a broad, even stream of hot air, making it ideal for a variety of plastic welding, heating, and drying applications across different industries.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding, including overlap welding of plastic sheets and membranes.- Installation and repair of single-ply roofing membranes.- Waterproofing applications, such as geomembrane sealing in landfills, tunnels, and hydraulic engineering projects.- Welding of technical textiles and industrial fabrics, including truck tarpaulins, billboards, and awnings.- Welding and processing of floor coverings, such as vinyl flooring.- General industrial process heat applications, including heating, drying, shrinking, forming, and activating thermoplastics.- Repair work on various plastic components, such as automotive bumpers.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services (for roofing, flooring, waterproofing, civil engineering/geomembrane applications)- Plastic Fabrication- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- General Manufacturing (for various process heat applications)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer
Special and Unique Features
- Constructed from precision-engineered stainless steel, ensuring durability and high-temperature resilience.- Features a convenient push-fit design for quick and easy attachment and removal from compatible Leister hot air guns.- Straight profile, making it versatile for a wide range of welding and heating tasks on flat or easily accessible surfaces.- Designed to efficiently disperse hot air across a wider surface area, enhancing work efficiency for broader applications.- Specifically compatible with popular Leister hot air tools, including the TRIAC AT, TRIAC ST, and DIODE models.
Key Properties
- Material: Precision engineered stainless steel (often 316 Stainless Steel for similar Leister nozzles).- Dimensions: 20mm slot length x 2mm slot width x 150mm profile length.- Connection Type: Push-fit / Clamping connection.- Compatibility: Designed for Leister TRIAC AT, TRIAC ST, and DIODE hot air guns.- High-temperature resilience, capable of operating smoothly at temperatures up to 500℃ (based on similar Leister nozzles).
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials commonly used in plastic welding, such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and PVC.- Single-ply roofing membranes.- Geomembranes used in civil engineering and landfill projects.- Various technical textiles and industrial fabrics.- Vinyl and other plastic floor coverings.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister wide slot nozzles of varying dimensions (e.g., 40mm wide slot nozzles, 150x12mm wide slot nozzles) for different application sizes.- Angled wide slot nozzles from Leister, which may be preferred for welding in intricate or hard-to-reach areas.- Other specialized Leister nozzles, such as tubular nozzles for precise spot heating, or speed welding nozzles for continuous seam welding with filler rods, depending on the specific task.- Generic or third-party wide slot nozzles compatible with Leister hot air guns, though Leister's quality and precision are often highlighted as superior.
Comparison Note
This 20 x 2 x 150mm straight wide slot nozzle is a versatile tool for general-purpose wide-area heating and welding, offering a balanced slot width and length suitable for numerous applications. It distinguishes itself from narrower tubular nozzles, which are used for highly precise spot welding, and from speed welding nozzles, which are optimized for faster, continuous seam welding with the aid of a filler rod. The straight design is particularly effective for working on flat or easily accessible surfaces, contrasting with angled nozzles that provide better access to confined or complex geometries. Its robust stainless steel construction ensures exceptional durability and consistent performance under high-temperature conditions, a hallmark of Leister's accessory range.
