Product Name
Leister 160.858 Wide Slot Nozzle 20mm x 9mm
Brief Description
The Leister 160.858 Wide Slot Nozzle 20mm x 9mm is a precision-engineered accessory designed for use with Leister hot air welding tools, such as the Triac AT, Triac ST, Diode PID, Diode S, and Hot Jet S. This nozzle is specifically crafted to deliver a wide, even stream of hot air, making it ideal for applications requiring broad and consistent heat distribution for welding, shrinking, and forming various thermoplastic materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding, including general plastic components, tanks, and containers.- Installation and repair of single-ply roofing membranes such as TPO, PVC, and EPDM.- Welding of technical textiles and industrial fabrics, including truck tarpaulins, advertising banners, inflatable plastic fabrics, awnings, and wind blockers.- Civil engineering applications like geomembrane welding in landfills, tunnels, and hydraulic engineering projects.- Flooring installation and repair of floor coverings.- Vehicle repairs, particularly for plastic components.- Shrinking applications in various industrial processes.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/ Building Services- Distributers & Resellers- Engineering Services- Fabrication- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- Plastic Fabrication- PVC Trimboard- Sign & Display- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Optimized for a wide and even hot air distribution, crucial for consistent welding seams.- Features a push-fit design with screw adjustments for quick and easy attachment to compatible Leister hot air tools.- Constructed from precision-engineered stainless steel for durability and heat resistance.- Specific dimensions (20mm slot length x 9mm slot width) provide a targeted yet broad heat application.
Key Properties
- Material: Precision engineered stainless steel.- Nozzle Connection Diameter: 31.5 mm (1.25 in).- Slot Length: 20 mm (0.78 in).- Slot Width: 9 mm (0.35 in).- Connection Type: Clamping connection / Push-fit.- Compatibility: Designed for Leister Triac AT, Triac ST, Diode PID, Diode S, and Hot Jet S hand tools.
Surface Compatibility
- Various thermoplastics, including Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and PVC.- Roofing membranes such as TPO, PVC, and EPDM.- Technical textiles and industrial fabrics.- Geomembranes used in civil engineering.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister wide slot nozzles of different dimensions (e.g., 40mm, 80mm).- Leister speed welding nozzles or tubular nozzles for more focused applications.- Wide slot nozzles from compatible hot air tool brands such as BAK, HERZ, Forsthoff, and SIEVERT.
Comparison Note
This 20mm x 9mm wide slot nozzle provides a broader heat footprint compared to narrower pencil or speed welding nozzles, making it highly effective for creating consistent, strong seams over larger areas, such as roofing membranes or tarpaulins. Its specific dimensions offer a balance between wide coverage and precision, distinguishing it from much wider nozzles used for very large-scale projects or very fine detail nozzles.
