Product Name
Leister 122.902 Reflector Nozzle
Brief Description
The Leister 122.902 Reflector Nozzle is a precision-engineered accessory designed for Leister hot air guns, specifically functioning as a solder reflector. It facilitates the focused and controlled application of hot air for various industrial and professional tasks requiring precise heat distribution.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Heat shrinking of cables, sleeves, and tubing in electrical and automotive applications.- Soldering and desoldering electronic components.- Plastic welding, forming, and molding of thermoplastics.- Drying, curing, and activating coatings, inks, and adhesives in manufacturing processes.- General industrial process heating where targeted heat reflection is required.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair- Electrical Services or Products- General Manufacturing- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services (e.g., roofing, flooring, civil engineering applications with hot air tools)- Packaging Services or Contractor (e.g., shrink wrapping)- Sign & Display (e.g., advertising banner welding)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (e.g., welding various fabrics)- LED/Electronics (e.g., soldering, wafer manufacturing)- Marine (e.g., boat construction and repair)- Medical Device/Prosthetics (e.g., forming and sealing blister packs, drying/smoothing pills in pharmaceutical processes)- Metal Fabrication (e.g., soldering applications)- Mold Making/Casting (e.g., molding and forming)- Pool/Spa/Plumbing (e.g., pool waterproofing)- Thermoforming (e.g., molding and forming)- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle (e.g., vehicle repairs, body upholstering, wrapping)- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor (e.g., sterilizing, drying fruit, roasting coffee)
Special and Unique Features

Surface Compatibility
This nozzle is compatible with various surfaces and materials that require precise hot air application, including:- Thermoplastics for welding, forming, and shrinking.- Electrical cables and components for insulation and protection.- Materials requiring activation, curing, or drying of coatings and adhesives.- Metal surfaces for soldering and desoldering tasks.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other reflector nozzles from Leister, such as sieve reflectors (e.g., 106.127) for broader shrinking or spoon reflectors (e.g., 107.314) for specific shaping, depending on the application.- General-purpose nozzles or other specialized nozzles from Leister's extensive range if the specific heat reflection pattern is not critical.- Compatible nozzles from third-party manufacturers designed for Leister hot air tools.
Comparison Note
The Leister 122.902 stands out as a dedicated solder reflector nozzle, offering a specific heat reflection pattern ideal for soldering and other applications demanding highly localized and controlled heat. While Leister offers a wide array of nozzles for various tasks like general shrinking, welding, or wide-slot heating, the 122.902 is distinguished by its precise dimensions and design tailored for solder-related work, making it distinct from broader application nozzles.
