Product Name
Jensen Tapered-Tip 22-Gauge Dispensing Tips (Push-On & Luer-Lock) -1.25-inch
Brief Description
These are precision plastic tapered dispensing tips designed for the controlled, clog-free application of medium to high viscosity fluids and particle-filled materials in industrial settings. They feature a 22-gauge opening and a 1.25-inch length, compatible with both push-on and Luer-Lock syringe systems, ensuring secure attachment and reliable performance.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Applying UV-cure adhesives, gel cyanoacrylates, solder paste, sealants, epoxies, RTV silicones, and thick pastes.- Precision glue application for models and crafts.- Oil distribution in mechanical projects.- Filling ink cartridges.- Hydroponics work.- Electronic component repair and assembly, including underfilling and encapsulation of BGA packages, coating for CCD sensors, crystal resonator sealing, and LCD panel gasketing.- Applying lubricants, sealants, or coatings onto precise areas in engines, aircraft components, or intricate machinery.- Handling minute volumes of liquids in laboratory experiments.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Artist, Artisan- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Electrical Services or Products- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Medical Device/ Prosthetics (for assembly, not direct medical use)- Metal Fabrication- Mold Making/ Casting- Packaging Services or Contractor- Plastic Fabrication- Prosumer- Sign & Display- Special Effects/ Scenic Design
Special and Unique Features
- Tapered design for smooth flow of viscous and particle-filled fluids, reducing back pressure and resisting clogging.- All-plastic, one-piece disposable construction.- Push-On & Luer-Lock compatibility for secure attachment to various dispensing systems.- 22-gauge size (often color-coded blue) for controlled flow.- Standardized 1.25-inch length.- High-density molded with a double-helix thread.- Offers scratch-free protection, ideal when working with sensitive parts.- Manufactured in a silicone-free environment.- Industrial grade and unsterilized, not intended for medical purposes involving human injection.
Key Properties
- **Viscosity Compatibility:** Best suited for medium to high viscosity fluids and particle-filled materials.- **Flow Control:** Ensures smooth, controlled material output with minimal dripping and stringing.- **Clog Resistance:** The tapered design and smooth interior surface actively help prevent clogging.- **Precision & Accuracy:** Enables accurate application, even in micro-scale quantities.- **Material:** Constructed from durable all-plastic (polypropylene or polyethylene).- **Pressure Rating:** Safe for air pressures up to 100 psi when used with Luer Lock hubs.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with various surfaces where adhesives, sealants, lubricants, paints, and other fluids are applied. The tips themselves offer scratch-free protection, making them suitable for sensitive parts.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Blunt end stainless steel tips (versatile for low-to-high viscosity fluids, but may not offer the same clog resistance for viscous/particle-filled materials).- PTFE-lined tips (ideal for low-viscosity fluids, solvents, and cyanoacrylates to prevent clogging/wicking).- Flexible tips (polypropylene or PTFE tubing for scratch-free results or hard-to-reach areas).- Angled dispensing tips (for enhanced access to confined or obstructed areas).- Brush tips (for spreading, marking, or coating applications).- Different gauge tapered tips (e.g., 14-gauge to 24-gauge for varying flow rates and material types).
Comparison Note
Tapered dispensing tips are generally superior to standard blunt-end or general-purpose tips for dispensing medium to high viscosity and particle-filled fluids. Their unique design promotes smoother flow, significantly reduces back pressure, and resists clogging, leading to more consistent and precise deposits. This can result in lower air pressure requirements, shorter dispense times, and improved production yields compared to less specialized dispensing methods.
