Known backups / known substitutes
- **Other Gauge Dispensing Tips:** Different gauge sizes (e.g., 14-gauge olive, 20-gauge yellow, 22-gauge blue) for varying flow rates and fluid viscosities.- **Tapered Dispensing Tips:** Polyethylene tapered tips are suitable for high-viscosity fluids, pastes, gels, epoxies, silicones, and sealants, designed to prevent obstructions.- **Flexible Polypropylene Tips:** Ideal for challenging applications or reaching confined spaces, preventing scratches on delicate surfaces.- **PTFE-Lined Dispensing Tips:** Excellent for low-viscosity fluids and resistant to clogging, particularly with cyanoacrylates.- **Angled Dispensing Tips:** Designed for dispensing in hard-to-reach areas or at specific angles.- **Brush Dispensing Tips:** For spreading fluids over a larger area.
Comparison Note
The Jensen Industrial 18-Gauge Pink Steel Dispensing Tip offers a balance of precision, durability, and versatility for industrial fluid application. Its stainless steel construction ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion, while the 18-gauge provides a controlled flow suitable for a broad spectrum of medium-viscosity materials. Compared to plastic-only tips, the steel cannula offers superior rigidity and consistent performance, especially under pressure. The Luer-Lock and Push-On compatibility provides secure connections, minimizing leaks and ensuring reliable operation in both manual and automated dispensing systems.
