Air) for efficient and focused heat delivery directly to the welding zone- Ensures precise and high-quality welds, crucial for structural integrity and aesthetics- An original Leister accessory, guaranteeing perfect fit, compatibility, and performance with specified Leister tools
Key Properties
- Part Number: 146.651- Welding Seam Geometry: Corner outside seam- Air Guide: Internal Air (FWP-Int. Air)- Welding Width/Size: 15mm (approximately 0.6 inches)- Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with Leister WELDPLAST S2, FUSION 2, FUSION 3, and FUSION 3C extrusion welders.- Material: Constructed from durable, high-temperature resistant materials suitable for demanding plastic welding environments.
Surface Compatibility
This welding shoe is compatible with a wide range of thermoplastics commonly used in extrusion welding, including but not limited to:- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)- Polypropylene (PP)- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)- Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)- Other weldable plastic materials used in industrial applications.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes designed for different seam geometries (e.g., fillet weld, V-seam, X-seam) or varying sizes- Leister blank welding shoes (e.g., 146.239) can be custom-modified by the end-user to suit unique job requirements- Third-party or generic welding shoes may exist, but they might not offer the same level of precision, durability, or guaranteed compatibility as original Leister accessories.
Comparison Note
This Leister 146.651 welding shoe is specifically engineered for optimal performance in creating 15mm outside corner welds with internal air guidance. Its specialized design provides superior precision and efficiency for this particular application compared to more general-purpose nozzles or manual welding techniques. The internal air guide ensures a consistent and concentrated heat application, which is critical for achieving strong, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing corner welds in demanding industrial environments.
