Product Name
Leister 107.144 Hot Jet S Round Angled Tubular Nozzle (aka Pencil Tip)
Brief Description
This is a precision-engineered 5mm round angled tubular nozzle, commonly known as a pencil tip, designed as an accessory for Leister Hot Jet S and Labor S hot air welding tools. It is specifically crafted for detailed and precise hot air applications, particularly in confined spaces or with heat-sensitive materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding and fabrication, including intricate detailing and in-situ repairs of rigid plastic materials like HDPE and PP.- Vehicle fairing repairs.- Shrinking of heat-shrink sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves, and molded parts.- Soldering and de-soldering of SMD thru-hole components.- Welding of thermoplastic materials, including overlap welding, welding with rod, with tape, and fusion welding by heat.- Activating and dissolving solvent-free adhesives and fusion adhesives.- Drying of water-damp surfaces.- Floor welding and container construction, especially for narrow or hard-to-reach areas.- Detailing work in flooring and construction, such as coving, inside and outside corners, doorways, and toe kicks.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services (especially for roofing and general construction detailing)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Automotive Service/Repair- LED/Electronics (for soldering/desoldering applications)- General Manufacturing (for various welding, shrinking, and adhesive activation tasks)- Fabrication (for precision work with various materials)
Special and Unique Features
- Angled design for improved access and maneuverability in tight spaces.- Small 5mm pipe diameter, providing a concentrated heat output for precision work.- Push-fit connection for easy and secure attachment to compatible Leister hot air tools.- Made from precision-engineered stainless steel for durability and heat resistance.- Designed to be used with speed welding nozzles for enhanced welding efficiency.
Key Properties
- Material: Precision-engineered stainless steel.- Nozzle Connection Diameter: 21.3 mm / 0.85 in.- Pipe Diameter: 5 mm / 0.19 in.- Pipe Length: 41 mm / 1.61 in.- Angle: 15°- Compatibility: Leister Hot Jet S, Leister Labor S, and other compatible Leister hot air blowers.- Design: Round, angled, tubular, pencil tip.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials (e.g., PVC, TPO, HDPE, PP).- Single-ply flexible plastics and modified bitumen in various forms (boards, tubes, profiles, lining membranes, coated materials, films, foams, tiles, sheets).- Heat-shrink materials.- Adhesives (solvent-free and fusion adhesives).- Water-damp surfaces for drying.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister tubular nozzles with different diameters or angles (e.g., 10mm tubular nozzle 107.145, 90-degree tubular nozzle 131.867).- Leister wide slot nozzles for broader heat distribution (e.g., 20mm straight 107.123, 80mm wide slot).- Other brands of hot air welding nozzles designed for similar tools, though Leister recommends using only Leister nozzles for optimal performance and compatibility.- Different types of speed welding nozzles that attach to this tubular nozzle for specific welding tasks.
Comparison Note
The Leister 107.144 pencil tip nozzle is distinguished by its small 5mm diameter and angled design, making it superior for precision work, intricate detailing, and accessing confined spaces compared to larger or straight tubular nozzles. While other nozzles offer wider heat coverage or specialized profiles, this pencil tip excels where focused, high-temperature air is required for delicate welding, shrinking, or repair tasks. It is specifically designed to complement the precise temperature and airflow control of the Leister Hot Jet S and Labor S tools.
