Product Name
Jensen Tapered-Tip 14-Gauge Dispensing Tips (Push-On & Luer-Lock) -1.25-inch
Brief Description
These are industrial-grade, all-plastic tapered dispensing tips specifically engineered for the precise and controlled application of various medium to high viscosity fluids in manufacturing and assembly processes. Featuring a 14-gauge diameter and a standardized 1.25-inch length, they are designed for compatibility with both push-on and Luer-Lock syringe barrels and dispensing systems.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precision dispensing of adhesives, glues, and sealants- Application of solder paste or solder flux- Dispensing greases, oils, and lubricants- Potting components with epoxies and RTV- Applying solvents, primers, and activators- Injecting flavorings or fillings in food production- Dispensing dental cements and filling materials in laboratory or manufacturing settings- Hobby crafts, jewelry making, and DIY gluing- Coating in precision electronic devices
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Artist, Artisan- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/ Building Services- Dental & Dental Devices- Fabrication- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Mold Making/ Casting- Packaging Services or Contractor- Prosumer- Sign & Display- Special Effects/ Scenic Design- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Tapered internal design reduces back pressure, improving fluid flow and allowing lower dispensing pressure for gels and pastes- All-plastic construction provides scratch-free protection, making it ideal when working with sensitive parts- Blunt tip design for industrial use only, explicitly not for medical injections or human treatment- Features a double-helix thread on the hub for secure attachment to dispensing systems- Compatible with a wide range of industry-standard dispensing equipment from manufacturers like Nordson, Nordson EFD, Sulzer, MixPac, Techon, and PVA- Manufactured to be silicone-free and chloride-free, preventing contamination of sensitive adhesives- Industrial grade and safe for use with air pressures up to 100 psi
Key Properties
- Gauge: 14-gauge (often color-coded salmon or tan)- Length: 1.25 inches (standardized)- Tip Type: Tapered, blunt end- Connection: Compatible with both Push-On and Luer-Lock systems- Material: High-density molded plastic (typically polypropylene)- Viscosity Suitability: Optimized for dispensing medium to high viscosity materials- Pressure Rating: Capable of withstanding air pressures up to 100 psi
Surface Compatibility
- Designed for use with a variety of industrial surfaces where precise fluid application is critical.- The all-plastic tapered design offers scratch-free protection, making it particularly suitable for delicate or sensitive parts.- Compatible with surfaces requiring controlled dispensing of adhesives, sealants, greases, oils, inks, and other industrial fluids.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other brands of tapered dispensing tips (e.g., Nordson EFD Optimum Tapered Tips, Techcon Tapered Tips)- Stainless steel dispensing tips (often used for lower viscosity fluids or aggressive solvents, where plastic might not be suitable)- Flexible polypropylene tips (beneficial for reaching hard-to-access areas or for applications requiring extreme scratch protection)- Brush tips (used for spreading, marking, or coating applications)- Dispensing tips of different gauge sizes, chosen based on the fluid's viscosity and the desired flow rate
Comparison Note
Jensen Tapered-Tip 14-Gauge Dispensing Tips are specifically engineered for optimal flow of medium to high viscosity materials due to their tapered, all-plastic construction. This design effectively reduces back pressure and provides scratch-free protection for sensitive surfaces. While alternative options like metal tips offer enhanced durability for aggressive solvents or very low viscosities, and flexible tips provide access to confined spaces, these tapered plastic tips excel in applications demanding controlled, drip-free dispensing of thicker fluids without causing surface damage. They represent an economical and reliable choice for numerous industrial assembly processes.
