Product Name
Leister 107.125 Wide Slot Nozzle ø 32 mm, 20 mm, 60° angled
Brief Description
This Leister 107.125 Wide Slot Nozzle is a specialized accessory designed for Leister hot air welding tools, such as the TRIAC ST/AT and DIODE Pid/S models. It features a 20 mm wide slot and a 60° angle, making it ideal for applying a broad, even, and precisely directed stream of hot air. This nozzle is particularly effective for welding and heating various thermoplastic materials, especially in applications that require access to difficult areas or for creating specific seam types.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Overlapping welding work on areas difficult to access for welding machines.- Welding of tent tarpaulins, advertising banners, and inflatable plastic fabrics.- Fabrication and repair of awnings and wind blockers.- Civil engineering and geomembrane welding applications.- Welding of technical textiles and industrial fabrics.- Roofing membrane welding, including TPO, PVC, and EPDM materials.- Shrinking tubing and bending plastics where consistent, wide heat is needed.- Repair work on truck tarpaulins.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services (for roofing, civil engineering, and geomembrane welding)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (for welding tarpaulins, banners, and awnings)- Plastic Fabrication (for general plastic welding, bending, and processing technical textiles)- General Manufacturing (for applications involving technical textiles and industrial fabrics)- Automotive Service/Repair (specifically for the repair of truck tarpaulins)
Special and Unique Features
- **Angled Design:** The 60° angled slot allows for easier access and more precise heat application in confined or challenging spaces.- **Wide Slot:** Provides a broad and even distribution of hot air, crucial for consistent welding and heating across a wider area.- **Precision Engineering:** Made from high-quality, precision-engineered stainless steel (304 stainless steel) for durability and consistent performance.- **Clamping Connection:** Designed for a secure push-fit or clamping connection to compatible Leister hot air tools.- **Optimal Dimensions:** Features a 20 mm slot length and 2 mm slot width, tailored for specific welding tasks.
Key Properties
- **Material:** Constructed from durable 304 stainless steel.- **Heat Resistance:** Exhibits excellent resistance to high temperatures, ensuring a long lifespan.- **Durability:** Built to withstand rigorous industrial use and high temperatures without warping or degrading.- **Compatibility:** Specifically designed for use with Leister TRIAC ST, TRIAC AT, DIODE PID, and DIODE S hot air guns.- **Airflow Control:** Concentrates airflow from the hot air gun through the nozzle, spreading it across a specific area for controlled work.
Surface Compatibility
- Various thermoplastic materials.- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) membranes and sheets.- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing membranes.- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) roof membranes.- Technical textiles and industrial fabrics.- Tarpaulins (e.g., truck tarpaulins, tent tarpaulins).- Inflatable plastic fabrics.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Other Leister Wide Slot Nozzles:** Leister offers a range of wide slot nozzles with different angles (e.g., 15°, 90°) and widths (e.g., 20mm straight, 40mm, 80mm) for various applications.- **Leister Standard Nozzles:** While not direct substitutes for wide slot applications, standard tubular or round nozzles are available for different tasks.- **Third-Party Compatible Nozzles:** Several manufacturers produce direct replacement or compatible nozzles for Leister tools, such as those from BAK, HERZ, Forsthoff, and SIEVERT.- **Industrial Heat Sources (IHS) Parts:** IHS develops its own line of direct replacement parts for popular Leister tools, designed to exact specifications.
Comparison Note
This 60° angled wide slot nozzle distinguishes itself from straight or other angled nozzles by offering enhanced maneuverability and precision for welding in tight or hard-to-reach areas. Its wide slot design ensures a more uniform heat distribution compared to standard round nozzles, which is critical for strong, consistent seams in materials like roofing membranes and tarpaulins. While other wide slot nozzles exist with different angles or widths, the 107.125's specific 60° angle and 20mm slot are optimized for particular overlap welding tasks, providing a balance of heat coverage and access that can significantly improve workflow and results for specialized applications.
