Product Name
Leister 101.264 INSULATING TUBE 3 X 0.4 X 90mm TRIAC S
Brief Description
This is a genuine Leister replacement insulating tube, specifically designed for the Leister TRIAC S hot air welding tool. It plays a critical role in insulating the heating element, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the hot air gun.
Popular Applications & Uses
The Leister TRIAC S hot air tool, for which this insulating tube is a component, is widely used for:- Plastic welding of various materials like PVC, TPO, EPDM membranes, sheets, pipes, tanks, and containers.- Welding of roofing membranes and other waterproofing materials.- Heat shrinking applications for cables, films, tapes, and sleeves.- Forming, bending, and shaping thermoplastic materials.- Drying water-damp surfaces.- Activating/dissolving solvent-free and fusion adhesives.- Repairing plastic components in automotive and other industries.- Installing and repairing flooring.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/Building Services (especially roofing and waterproofing)- Plastic Fabrication- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Automotive Service/Repair- Electrical Services or Products (for cable insulation and wire harnessing)- General Manufacturing (for various heat processing tasks)- Marine (for boat construction and repair)- Aerospace/Defense (for wire harness manufacturing)- Medical Device/Prosthetics (for shaping and welding plastics)- Dental & Dental Devices (for reshaping and repairing dentures)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Sign & Display (for advertising banner welding)
Special and Unique Features
- Genuine Leister spare part, ensuring compatibility and quality with the TRIAC S hot air tool.- Precisely manufactured to specific dimensions (3 x 0.4 x 90mm) for optimal fit and function.- Essential for maintaining the electronic heating element protection and overall safety of the tool.
Key Properties
- Material: Typically made of mica or a similar high-temperature resistant insulating material.- Dimensions: 3mm inner diameter, 0.4mm wall thickness, 90mm length.- Function: Provides electrical and thermal insulation for the heating element.- Durability: Designed to withstand the high temperatures generated by the Leister TRIAC S.
Surface Compatibility
This insulating tube itself does not directly contact external surfaces for application. Its compatibility is internal, ensuring proper function within the Leister TRIAC S hot air tool, specifically with the heating element and the tool's internal structure. It is compatible with the Leister TRIAC S heating system.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister insulating tubes designed for different models (e.g., TRIAC ST, DIODE S) may exist but are not direct substitutes for the 101.264 part.- Generic mica sleeves or insulating tubes of similar dimensions might be found, but using genuine Leister parts is recommended for guaranteed fit, performance, and safety.- The Leister TRIAC S is a legacy product, so parts like this insulating tube are primarily for repair and refurbishment rather than new installations.
Comparison Note
The Leister 101.264 insulating tube is a critical component for the Leister TRIAC S hot air tool. Unlike generic insulating materials, this specific part is engineered by Leister to precisely fit and function within the TRIAC S, ensuring the heating element operates safely and efficiently. Its correct installation is vital for preventing overheating of other tool components and maintaining consistent hot air output, which is crucial for professional welding and shrinking applications.
