Product Name
Leister 107.148 Soldering Nozzle (ø 0.85 inch) 0.11 x 0.06 inch, oval
Brief Description
This is a precision oval hot air nozzle designed for Leister hot air tools, specifically for plastic welding and fabrication. It delivers a focused, oval hot air stream for intricate and fine welding tasks on various thermoplastic materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Fine plastic welding and repair, such as on automotive bumpers or plastic tanks.- Detailed work in plastic fabrication, including joining small plastic components or creating specific seam geometries.- Precision hot air applications in signage and banner production.- Repair of plastic sheeting, tarpaulins, and awnings.- Specialized tasks in flooring installation and repair, particularly for intricate plastic welds.- Contactless soldering and de-soldering of SMD thru-hole components, and precision electronic work (when used with compatible tools like Hot Jet S).
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Sign & Display- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- General Manufacturing- Thermoforming- Marine- LED/Electronics (for plastic component work)
Special and Unique Features
- **Oval Slot Design:** Provides a precise, elongated hot air stream ideal for narrow or specific weld geometries.- **Leister Quality:** Manufactured by Leister, a market leader in plastic welding and process heat, ensuring durability and reliability.- **Compatibility:** Designed for use with Leister hot air hand tools such as the Hot Jet S and Labor S, which are known for precision work.- **Clamping Connection:** Ensures a secure fit to the hot air tool.
Key Properties
- **Nozzle Connection Diameter:** 21.3 mm (0.85 inch).- **Slot Dimensions:** 3 mm (0.11 inch) length x 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) width, oval.- **Pipe Length:** Approximately 40-41 mm (1.57 inches).- **Angle:** 45° (for the slot relative to the pipe).- **Material:** Typically high-quality stainless steel for heat resistance and durability.
Surface Compatibility
- Various thermoplastics, including Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), TPO, and other weldable plastics.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Other Leister Nozzles:** Leister offers a wide range of nozzles with different shapes (round, triangular, wide slot) and sizes for various applications.- **Other Hot Air Tool Brands:** Nozzles from other hot air welding tool manufacturers (e.g., BAK, although Leister nozzles are often specific to Leister tools).- **Alternative Welding Methods:** Chemical welding, ultrasonic welding, laser welding (Leister also offers laser bonding solutions for some applications), or adhesive bonding, depending on the material and application.
Comparison Note
This oval soldering nozzle is distinguished by its precise, narrow oval hot air output, making it ideal for intricate and fine welding seams where a standard round or wide slot nozzle would be too broad. Its specific dimensions and shape allow for highly controlled heat application, crucial for delicate plastic fabrication, repair, and specialized “soldering” tasks on plastic components, offering greater precision than general-purpose nozzles.
