Product Name
Leister 131.867 HotJet S Tubular Nozzle 90 Degree 5mm Round (aka 90 Degree Pencil Tip)
Brief Description
This Leister 131.867 nozzle is a specialized 90-degree bent tubular nozzle, also known as a pencil tip, designed for use with Leister HotJet S and Labor S hot air welding tools. It features a 5mm round opening and is made from precision-engineered stainless steel. Its primary function is to precisely direct and control the flow of heated air for detailed and intricate plastic welding, shrinking, and other heat-related applications, particularly in confined spaces or with heat-sensitive materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precision plastic welding, especially in tight or hard-to-reach areas- Detailed repairs on rigid plastic materials, such as HDPE and PP- Vehicle fairing repairs- Shrinking of heat-shrink sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves, and molded parts- Activating or dissolving solvent-free adhesives and fusion adhesives- Drying of water-damp surfaces- Plastic fabrication, including tanks, pipes, and tubes- Roofing applications, such as welding single-ply flexible plastics and modified bitumen- Vinyl flooring installation and repair- Boat construction and repair- Civil engineering and geomembrane applications
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services (for roofing, vinyl flooring, civil engineering/geomembrane)- Automotive Service/Repair (for vehicle fairing repairs)- Marine (for boat construction and repair)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer (for vinyl flooring)- General Manufacturing (for various plastic welding, shrinking, and forming thermoplastics)- Fabrication (general term encompassing plastic fabrication)- PVC Trimboard (for welding PVC materials)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (for hot air welding of coated materials and films)
Special and Unique Features
- 90-degree bend: Allows for access and precision in confined or angled spaces, often referred to as a "pencil tip" for detailed work- 5mm round opening: Provides a focused hot air stream for precise welding and heating tasks- Push-fit design: Ensures easy and secure attachment to compatible Leister hot air tools- Stainless steel construction: Offers durability and resistance to high temperatures- Compatibility: Specifically designed for Leister HotJet S and Labor S hot air guns- Versatility: Can be used independently or as a base for attaching speed welding nozzles
Key Properties
- Material: Precision engineered stainless steel- Nozzle Connection: Clamping connection / Push-fit- Bend Angle: 90 degrees- Opening Diameter: 5mm round- Compatibility: Leister HotJet S and Leister Labor S hot air tools- Function: Directs and controls hot air flow for welding, shrinking, and heating
Surface Compatibility
This nozzle is compatible with various thermoplastic materials that can be welded or heated, including but not limited to:- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)- PP (Polypropylene)- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)- Single-ply flexible plastics- Modified bitumen (for roofing)- Vinyl (for flooring)- Other heat-sensitive materials requiring precise heat application
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister tubular nozzles with different angles or diameters, depending on the specific application and tool compatibility- Leister 5mm Tubular Nozzle 100.303 (for Triac & Diode, not HotJet S)- Leister 5mm Round Tubular Nozzle 107.144 (for HotJet S/Labor S, straight)- Generic or third-party compatible 90-degree pencil tip nozzles for hot air welders, though Leister recommends using only Leister accessories for optimal performance
Comparison Note
The Leister 131.867 HotJet S Tubular Nozzle stands out due to its specific 90-degree bend and 5mm round opening, making it ideal for highly precise work in confined or angled spaces where a straight nozzle would be impractical. While other tubular nozzles exist, this particular model is tailored for the compact and versatile Leister HotJet S and Labor S tools, which are known for their independent temperature and airflow control, enabling delicate work on heat-sensitive materials.
