Product Name
Leister 107.309 Sieve reflector (ø 1.45 inch) 0.8 x 1.4 inch Reflector
Brief Description
This is a precision-engineered stainless steel sieve reflector nozzle designed as an accessory for Leister hot air tools. It is used to direct and evenly distribute hot air for various industrial applications, particularly heat shrinking and other heat-related processes.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Heat shrinking, especially in cable manufacturing- Automotive applications- Electrical and electronics applications- Sterilizing- De-flashing- Drying- Laminating- Curing- Bending and forming- Heat activation and deactivation- Plastic welding and processing
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair- Electrical Services or Products- General Manufacturing- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services (for roofing, flooring, civil engineering)- LED/Electronics
Special and Unique Features
- Precision-engineered stainless steel construction- Designed for push-fit connection to compatible Leister hot air guns- Optimizes and evenly distributes hot air flow- Compact dimensions for focused heat application
Key Properties
- Material: Stainless steel- Nozzle connection diameter: 36.5 mm / 1.45 inches- Reflector length: 35 mm / 1.4 inches- Reflector width: 20 mm / 0.8 inches- Connection type: Push-fit- Compatibility: Designed for Leister hot air tools such as Ghibli, Ghibli AW, Solano, TRIAC ST, TRIAC AT, and Diode PID/S
Surface Compatibility
The reflector itself does not directly contact surfaces for processing, but the hot air it directs is compatible with various materials requiring heat treatment, such as:- Cables and wiring insulation (for shrinking)- Plastics (for welding, forming, shrinking, de-flashing)- Various materials in automotive, electrical, and electronics components- Roofing membranes and floor coverings
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister reflector nozzles of different sizes or designs (e.g., spoon reflectors, other sieve reflectors)- Reflector nozzles from other manufacturers compatible with Leister tools via adapters (e.g., Raychem PR Reflector Nozzles with an adaptor)- General purpose heat gun nozzles, though potentially less specialized for specific heat distribution patterns.
Comparison Note
The Leister 107.309 Sieve reflector is specifically designed to provide a focused and evenly distributed heat pattern, making it highly effective for precise heat shrinking and other applications where controlled heat application is crucial. Its stainless steel construction ensures durability and resistance to high temperatures, distinguishing it from less robust or less specialized nozzle types.
