Product Name
Leister 107.142 Wide Slot Nozzle (ø 0.85 inch) 0.8 inch 1
Brief Description
The Leister 107.142 Wide Slot Nozzle is a precision-engineered stainless steel accessory designed for use with Leister hot air guns. It features a push-fit design and is specifically crafted to disperse hot air across a wider surface area, making it ideal for various plastic welding and heating applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding, including hot gas welding with a torch separate from the filler rod.- Civil engineering projects such as geomembrane welding, tunnel construction, and landfill sealing.- Welding of technical textiles and industrial fabrics, including tarpaulins and billboards.- Roofing membrane welding and repair.- Installation and repair of floor coverings.- Fabrication of plastic components, tanks, and containers.- Vehicle repairs, such as automotive bumper repair.- General industrial processes involving activating, heating, curing, melting, shrinking, welding, sterilizing, drying, and warming of plastics.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- Plastic Fabrication- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair
Special and Unique Features
- Precision engineered stainless steel construction ensures durability and consistent performance.- Push-fit design allows for quick and easy attachment to compatible Leister hot air guns.- Specifically designed to disperse hot air across a wider surface area, optimizing efficiency for overlap welding and larger seams.- Compatible with a range of Leister hot air tools, including the HOT JET S, Triac AT, Triac ST, and Ghibli plastic welders.
Key Properties
- Material: Stainless Steel- Nozzle connection diameter: ø 21.3 mm / 0.85 inch- Slot length (a): 20 mm (approximately 0.8 inch)- Slot width (b): 2 mm- Angle (e): 30°- Connection type: Clamping connection (push-fit)
Surface Compatibility
- Primarily compatible with thermoplastic materials, including common types such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and PVC.- Suitable for various plastic sheets, membranes, and fabrics used in roofing, civil engineering, and industrial applications.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister wide slot nozzles of varying dimensions (e.g., 40mm or 80mm wide slot nozzles) can serve as substitutes depending on the required weld size.- For different welding techniques or precision requirements, other Leister nozzle types such as speed welding nozzles, tubular nozzles, or pencil tip nozzles may be used.
Comparison Note
This Leister 107.142 Wide Slot Nozzle is optimized for applications demanding a broad and even distribution of hot air, particularly for overlap welding of membranes and sheets. Its design contrasts with narrower or tubular nozzles, which are typically employed for more precise, detailed work or for speed welding applications that involve a filler rod. The nozzle's stainless steel construction and push-fit mechanism are consistent with Leister's standards for durability and compatibility across their hot air tool range.
