Product Name
Leister 106.982 - Extension nozzle 5mm x 150mm
Brief Description
The Leister 106.982 is a precision-engineered stainless steel tubular extension nozzle, specifically designed for use with Leister's range of hot air guns, including the TRIAC ST/AT/PID/S/B and DIODE PID/S models. Featuring a 5mm pipe diameter and an extended 150mm length, this push-fit nozzle serves as a crucial accessory for directing hot air with precision, often acting as a base for attaching other specialized speed welding nozzles.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding, including materials such as vinyl, PVC, PP, HDPE, and other thermoplastics.- Welding of roofing membranes to ensure watertight seals and durability.- Flooring installations, particularly for welding vinyl and linoleum coverings.- Civil engineering projects, such as geomembrane sealing in landfills, tunnels, and reservoirs.- Shrinking applications, including heat-shrink tubes, electrical interconnection devices, and protective plastic covers.- Repair and fabrication of plastic components, such as automotive bumpers and plastic boats.- Heat sealing of flexible plastics, lining membranes, coated materials, films, foams, and sheets.- Joining large format advertising materials like billboards, banners, and tarpaulins.- Waterproofing applications for ponds and pools.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Plastic Fabrication- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Marine- Electrical Services or Products- General Manufacturing- Distributers & Resellers- Prosumer- PVC Trimboard- Sign & Display

Key Properties
- **Material:** Precision engineered stainless steel.- **Dimensions:** 5mm pipe diameter, 150mm pipe length.- **Connection Type:** Push-fit clamping connection (ø 31.5 mm / 1.25 in).- **Angle:** Typically 15° (some specifications mention -15° angled).- **Temperature Tolerance:** Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 800°C, typical for plastic welding nozzles.- **Compatibility:** Optimized for use with Leister TRIAC and DIODE series hot air guns.
Surface Compatibility
This nozzle is primarily compatible with various thermoplastic materials and surfaces commonly processed with hot air welding techniques:- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)- PP (Polypropylene)- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)- Vinyl (e.g., vinyl flooring, membranes)- Linoleum- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)- Plastic membranes and films used in roofing, civil engineering, and greenhouse applications.- Coated materials and technical fabrics, such as tarpaulins and billboards.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Leister Standard 5mm Tubular Nozzle 100.303 (a shorter, standard version).- Other Leister tubular nozzles with varying pipe diameters and lengths, depending on the specific application requirements.- Various Leister speed welding nozzles (e.g., 3mm, 4mm, 5mm round speed weld nozzles, triangular speed weld nozzles) that can be attached to this extension nozzle for specialized welding tasks.- Wide slot nozzles for applications requiring a broader heat distribution.
Comparison Note
The Leister 106.982 extension nozzle stands out from standard tubular nozzles primarily due to its extended 150mm length. This longer design provides superior reach, making it ideal for precision welding, detailing, and accessing confined spaces that shorter nozzles cannot effectively reach. While standard 5mm tubular nozzles (e.g., Leister 100.303) offer basic hot air delivery, the 106.982's extended form factor enhances versatility, particularly in applications like flooring installation and plastic fabrication where extended access and the ability to serve as a base for other speed welding nozzles are critical advantages.
