Product Name
Leister 106.988 Screw-On Tacking Nozzle
Brief Description
This Leister 106.988 is a specialized screw-on tacking nozzle crafted from precision-engineered stainless steel, designed for use with Leister hot air welding tools. It serves the crucial initial step in plastic welding by temporarily joining plastic structures before final, more robust welding processes like pendulum or draw welding.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Tacking plastic structures together prior to final welding- Preliminary joining in plastic fabrication- Precise plastic welding work in apparatus and tank construction- Boat construction and repair- Flexible tank welding- Aquaculture construction and repair- Pipe and tube welding
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Fabrication- General Manufacturing- Construction/ Building Services- Marine- Automotive Service/Repair- Sign & Display- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Screw-on connection type (M14) for secure attachment- Made from precision engineered stainless steel for durability and performance- Specifically designed for tacking applications, providing initial stability for plastic workpieces- Compatible with Leister WELDING PEN and DIODE screw-fit models- Can be adapted for use with Leister TRIAC and LABOR S models using appropriate connectors
Key Properties
- Material: Stainless steel- Connection: Screw-on (M14 thread)- Function: Tacking (pre-welding)- Requires a 5mm round tubular nozzle for certain compatible tools (e.g., Triac/Diode 143.833, Hot Jet S/Labor S 143.831)
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastics- Various plastic materials commonly used in fabrication and repair
Known backups / known substitutes
- Leister 106.996 Tacking Nozzle (a push-fit alternative, requiring different tool compatibility or adaptors)- Other Leister tacking nozzles designed for different tool series or connection types.
Comparison Note
The Leister 106.988 Screw-On Tacking Nozzle is distinct from other welding nozzles (e.g., speed welding or drawing nozzles) as its primary function is to provide temporary fixation of plastic materials before the main welding process. Its screw-on design offers a secure connection compared to push-fit alternatives, ensuring stability during the tacking operation.
