Product Name
Leister 105.566 Hot Jet S Round Straight Tubular Nozzle (aka Pencil Tip)
Brief Description
The Leister 105.566 is a precision push-fit nozzle, commonly known as a "pencil tip," specifically designed for use with the Leister Hot Jet S hot air welding tool. This 5mm round straight tubular nozzle provides highly focused heat for intricate and detailed heating and welding applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precision plastic welding, particularly in confined spaces or with heat-sensitive materials.- Detailing work in plastic fabrication.- Speed welding when used with compatible speed welding tips.- Applications in vinyl flooring installation and repair.- Roofing applications for detailed work.- Vehicle fairing repairs.- Shrinking heat-shrink sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves, and molded parts.- Activating or dissolving solvent-free and fusion adhesives.- Drying water-damp surfaces.- Soldering and de-soldering of SMD thru-hole components.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Construction/ Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- General Manufacturing- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Sign & Display
Special and Unique Features
- Features a "pencil tip" design for highly focused and precise heat delivery.- Designed for easy push-fit attachment onto the Leister Hot Jet S hot air tool, secured by a clamp screw.- Constructed from precision engineered stainless steel for durability and consistent performance.- Enables exceptionally precise welding in tight areas or when working with delicate, heat-sensitive materials.
Key Properties
- Material: Precision engineered stainless steel.- Connection Type: Push-fit design.- Nozzle Connection Diameter: Ø21.3 mm / 0.85 inches.- Pipe Diameter (A): 5 mm.- Compatibility: Exclusively designed for the Leister Hot Jet S hot air welding tool.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials, including HDPE, PP, and PVC.- Single-ply flexible plastics and modified bitumen in various forms such as boards, tubes, profiles, lining membranes, coated materials, films, foams, tiles, and sheets.- Vinyl and linoleum surfaces, particularly for flooring applications.- Heat-shrink materials for sealing and protection.- Surfaces requiring activation of solvent-free or fusion adhesives, or general drying.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other specialized Leister nozzles designed for the Hot Jet S, such as wider slot nozzles, angled tubular nozzles, or specific soldering/desoldering nozzles, depending on the exact application.- While the 105.566 is exclusive to the Hot Jet S, other Leister hot air tools like the TRIAC ST have their own range of compatible nozzles, including pencil tips, which could serve similar functions if a different tool is used.- Generic or third-party pencil tip nozzles for hot air welders, though direct compatibility and performance with the Leister Hot Jet S cannot be guaranteed.
Comparison Note
The Leister 105.566 Round Straight Tubular Nozzle stands out due to its specific design for the compact and lightweight Leister Hot Jet S. This combination is ideal for highly detailed and intricate work where precision and maneuverability are paramount. While other Leister hot air tools, such as the TRIAC ST, offer broader versatility with a wider range of nozzles, the Hot Jet S with this pencil tip excels in applications requiring fine-point heat delivery and fatigue-free operation in confined or delicate areas.
