Product Name
Leister 106.993 1/4 inch, or 6mm Triangle Speed Welding Nozzle
Brief Description
The Leister 106.993 is a specialized, precision-engineered stainless steel speed welding nozzle designed for use with Leister hot-air welding tools. It facilitates efficient and continuous welding of thermoplastic materials by guiding a triangular welding rod and directing hot air precisely onto the seam.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Welding plastic sheets, pipes, and profiles in fabrication processes.- Installing and repairing plastic flooring, such as vinyl and linoleum.- Welding thermoplastic roofing membranes (e.g., PVC, TPO) for flat roofs and waterproofing.- Fabricating and repairing plastic tanks, containers, and other industrial components.- Repairing plastic parts in the automotive industry, including fenders, bumpers, and interior trims.- Waterproofing geomembranes in civil engineering projects like landfills, tunnels, ponds, and pools.- Manufacturing and repairing technical textiles such as truck tarpaulins, advertising banners, tents, and covers.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Automotive Service/Repair- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Marine- General Manufacturing- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Cladding
Special and Unique Features
- Features a triangular profile specifically designed for welding with triangular plastic welding rods, enabling specific joint designs.- Engineered for speed welding applications, allowing for continuous and more efficient work compared to manual methods.- Directs hot air precisely onto the welding seam, ensuring consistent heat application and preventing burning or scorching of material edges.- Made from durable, precision-engineered stainless steel for longevity and consistent performance.- Designed for a push-fit connection onto compatible Leister tubular nozzles, ensuring secure attachment to hot-air tools.
Key Properties
- Size: 1/4 inch (6.3mm) or 6mm triangular profile.- Material: Precision-engineered stainless steel.- Compatibility: Primarily designed for Leister Triac ST, Triac AT, and Diode PID/S hot air tools.- Connection: Push-fit connection, typically requiring a 5mm tubular nozzle as an adapter.- Function: Optimizes the hot air flow for high-speed plastic welding with welding rods.
Surface Compatibility
This nozzle is compatible with a wide range of thermoplastic materials commonly welded with hot air, including:- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)- Polyethylene (PE), including High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)- Polypropylene (PP)- Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)- Polyurethane- Polycarbonate- Vinyl and Linoleum floor coverings- Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)- Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE)
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister speed welding nozzles, such as round speed nozzles (e.g., 3mm, 4mm, 5mm) or triangular nozzles of different sizes (e.g., 5.7mm or 7mm triangular speed nozzles).- Different types of plastic welding nozzles for Leister tools, including tubular nozzles, wide slot nozzles, and tacking nozzles, depending on the specific welding task.- Nozzles from other hot-air welding tool manufacturers, though compatibility with Leister tools would need to be verified.
Comparison Note
The Leister 106.993 triangular speed welding nozzle significantly enhances the efficiency of plastic welding by enabling continuous, high-speed application of welding rod. Its specific triangular profile is ideal for creating strong, uniform welds in applications requiring a triangular bead, offering a more precise and faster alternative to freehand welding. It ensures optimal heat distribution, which helps in achieving smooth, consistent welds while minimizing the risk of material damage.
