Product Name
Leister 106.986 - 6.85mm (0.27 inch) Triangle Screw-on Speed Welding Nozzle
Brief Description
A specialized screw-on speed welding nozzle from Leister, designed for efficient and precise hot air welding of various thermoplastics using a triangular welding rod. It facilitates faster welding compared to standard nozzles by guiding the welding rod and hot air simultaneously.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Welding plastic plates and sheets.- Repairing polyethylene tanks and cracks in plastic parts.- Repairing car bumpers and other automotive plastics.- Boat and aquaculture construction and repair.- Pipe and tube welding.- Geomembrane welding in civil engineering, tunneling, and landfills.- Roofing membrane welding.- Fabrication of plastic components, containers, and tanks.- General plastic repairs and maintenance.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- Marine- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- General Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Screw-on design for secure attachment to compatible Leister tools.- Triangular profile (6.85mm / 7mm) specifically for Profile B welding rod.- Designed for speed welding, allowing the welding rod to glide through while hot air is applied.- Made of hardened steel or precision engineered stainless steel for durability.- Compatible with various Leister hot air tools (e.g., Welding Pen, Penweld, Triac ST, Triac AT, Diode PID/S), often with specific adapters.- Without tacking tip.
Key Properties
- Material: Hardened steel or precision engineered stainless steel.- Size: 6.85mm (0.27 inch) / 7mm triangular opening.- Connection: Screw-on (M14 connection).- Compatibility: Designed for use with Leister hot air welding tools.- Welding Rod Compatibility: Accepts 7mm triangular Profile B welding rod.
Surface Compatibility
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)- PE (Polyethylene) / HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) / LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) / LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene)- PP (Polypropylene)- PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)- ECTFE (Ethylene ChloroTriFluoroEthylene)- FPO (Flexible Polyolefin)- PA (Polyamide)- PC (Polycarbonate)- PVC-C (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)- PVC-U (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride)- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister speed welding nozzles with different profiles (e.g., round, other triangular sizes) or push-fit connections.- Leister tacking nozzles for initial material fixation.- Nozzles from other hot air tool manufacturers (e.g., BAK, Forsthoff, Miller Weldmaster, Steinel) that offer compatible speed welding tips, though adapters might be needed.- Standard tubular or wide slot nozzles used with a separate welding rod guide.- Extrusion welders for higher output and thicker materials.
Comparison Note
This triangular screw-on speed welding nozzle offers enhanced speed and efficiency for welding specific plastic profiles compared to manual welding with standard nozzles. It is designed for precision work and requires a compatible Leister hot air tool, often with an adapter for certain models. Its screw-on mechanism provides a secure connection, distinguishing it from push-fit alternatives.
