Product Name
Leister 105.556 Wide Slot Nozzle 20 mm, 90 degree angled Hot Jet
Brief Description
A specialized stainless steel nozzle designed for Leister hot air guns, featuring a 20mm wide slot and a 90-degree angle. It is engineered for precise hot air welding and shaping of thermoplastics, particularly effective in confined or difficult-to-reach areas, ensuring focused heat and clean weld flow.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Hot air welding of plastics and thermoplastics.- Welding of roofing membranes, including single-ply, flat, and pitched roofs.- Installation and repair of vinyl flooring.- Geomembrane welding and various civil engineering applications.- Waterproofing for pools and ponds.- Working in tight edges, corners, and gaps where straight nozzles are impractical.- Achieving smooth seams and precise results on plastic work.- Shrinking and forming thermoplastics.- Repair of flexible tarpaulin and banner materials.- Detailed work in billboard applications.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services (including roofing, flooring, and waterproofing)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Sign & Display- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Cladding
Special and Unique Features
- 90-degree angled design, specifically for accessing tight spaces and awkward angles that are otherwise impossible with straight nozzles.- Wide slot (20mm) for focused heat and clean weld flow, facilitating the creation of smooth and consistent seams.- Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to high temperatures.- Features a push-fit design for quick and easy attachment and removal from compatible Leister hot air guns.- Concentrates the airflow from the hot air gun for precise and controlled heat application.
Key Properties
- Material: Stainless steel (often 316 stainless steel for enhanced high-temperature resilience).- Slot Length: 20 mm.- Slot Width: 2 mm.- Bend: 90 degrees, as per product description.- Nozzle Connection: Ø 21.3 mm / 0.85 inches, typically a clamping or push-fit connection.- High-temperature resilience, capable of operating effectively at elevated temperatures (e.g., up to 500℃ for similar nozzles).- Designed for durability and a long lifespan.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastics- PVC membranes- TPO membranes- EPDM membranes- Various roofing membranes- Vinyl materials- Geomembranes- Flexible tarpaulin and banner materials
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister wide slot nozzles with varying angles or widths (e.g., straight wide slot nozzles, or those with different slot dimensions).- Leister tubular nozzles, such as the 5mm tubular nozzle with a 90-degree curve (e.g., 131.867 or 105.576), for more concentrated heat application.- Nozzles from alternative hot air welding tool manufacturers like BAK, HERZ, Forsthoff, SIEVERT, and RACE.- Other specialized Leister nozzle types designed for specific tasks, including speed welding nozzles, tacking nozzles, and sieve reflectors.
Comparison Note
This 90-degree angled wide slot nozzle is uniquely suited for applications demanding precise heat application in confined or challenging spaces where a straight nozzle would be impractical. Its wide slot facilitates the creation of smooth, consistent welds over larger areas compared to narrower tubular nozzles. The angled design provides superior maneuverability, making it ideal for intricate detail work and effective edge welding, offering a balanced solution for both broad coverage and access to difficult geometries.
