Product Name
Leister 107.311 Sieve reflector (ø 0.85 inch) 1.96 x 1.4 inch Reflector Hot Jet
Brief Description
A specialized accessory for Leister hot air tools, particularly the Hot Jet S, designed to provide precise and even heat distribution for various applications like heat shrinking, plastic welding, and forming.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Heat shrinking of cables, sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves, and molded parts.- Plastic welding of thermoplastic materials, including boards, tubes, profiles, lining membranes, films, foams, tiles, and sheets.- Bending and forming of plastics and rubber.- Drying of water-damp surfaces.- Activating/dissolving solvent-free and fusion adhesives.- Soldering and de-soldering of SMD thru-hole components.- Repair of vehicle fairings.- Installation of vinyl flooring.- Bundling several wires with heat shrink tubing.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- Marine- General Manufacturing- Electrical Services or Products- Sign & Display- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer
Special and Unique Features
- Designed for focused and even heat distribution.- Compact size for controlled heat application.- Helps prevent overheating or damage to sensitive materials.- Features a push-fit connection for easy attachment to compatible hot air tools.- Specifically designed for Leister Hot Jet S and compatible with other Leister heat guns like Triac ST/AT.
Key Properties
- Material: Often made of stainless steel (e.g., 304 stainless steel for similar reflectors).- Nozzle Connection Diameter: 0.85 inch (21.3 mm).- Reflector Dimensions: 1.96 x 1.4 inch (50 x 34 mm) (length x width).- Angle: Typically around 75°.- Connection Type: Clamping or push-fit connection.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials (boards, tubes, profiles, lining membranes, films, foams, tiles, sheets).- Single-ply flexible plastics.- Modified bitumen.- Heat-shrink sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves, molded parts.- Adhesives (solvent-free and fusion).- Rubber.- Wires and cables.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister sieve reflectors of different sizes (e.g., 107.310, 107.337, 107.328).- Sieve reflector nozzles from other manufacturers like Steinel or Forsthoff, compatible with various hot air tools.- Other types of reflector nozzles (e.g., hinged reflector nozzles, shell reflector nozzles) for different heat distribution patterns.
Comparison Note
This sieve reflector is designed for precise, even heat distribution over a specific area, making it ideal for detailed work and heat-sensitive applications where consistent temperature is crucial. It differs from wide slot nozzles which cover larger surface areas or speed welding nozzles used for specific welding techniques.
