Product Name
Leister 106.991 5mm Round Speed Welding Nozzle
Brief Description
A precision-engineered accessory for Leister hot-air welding tools, this 5mm round speed welding nozzle is designed for efficient and accurate welding of plastic materials using a 5mm round welding rod. It facilitates faster work and ensures consistent weld quality by guiding the welding rod and directing hot air precisely onto the seam.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Welding vinyl and linoleum floors- General plastic fabrication- Welding of roofing membranes- Boat construction and repair- Flexible tank welding- Pipe and tube welding- Coving applications in flooring
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Construction/ Building Services (especially for roofing)- Plastic Fabrication- Marine (for boat construction and repair)
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for speed welding applications, enhancing efficiency- Features a push-fit connection for easy attachment to compatible tubular nozzles- Includes a curved tip, particularly useful for coving in flooring installations- Engineered to direct airflow precisely onto the welding seam- Helps prevent the edges of the plastic material from being burned or scorched- Incorporates a two-pronged design that guides the welding rod smoothly while hot air passes through the main nozzle
Key Properties
- Material: Constructed from precision-engineered stainless steel and titanium alloy for durability- Size: Features a 5mm round profile for the welding rod- Compatibility: Designed for use with various Leister hot air guns, including TRIAC (ST, AT), DIODE (PID/S), HOT JET S, and LABOR S models- Resistance: Offers high temperature and corrosion resistance
Surface Compatibility
- Polypropylene (PP)- Polyethylene (PE)- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)- Polycarbonate- Vinyl and linoleum flooring materials- Various plastic membranes used in roofing and other applications
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister speed welding nozzles, such as 4mm round, triangular, or tape speed nozzles, depending on the specific application- Leister wide slot nozzles for different types of welding or preheating tasks- Standard pencil tip nozzles, onto which this speed nozzle typically push-fits
Comparison Note
This 5mm round speed welding nozzle significantly enhances the speed and precision of plastic welding compared to freehand methods. Its specialized two-pronged design ensures consistent guidance of the welding rod and optimal distribution of hot air, leading to a more uniform and robust weld seam, particularly beneficial for long, straight runs and coving applications.
