Leister 103.873 - REPLACEMENT BLOWER 120V W/ TURBINE AND HOUSING HOT JET S
Brief Description
This is a genuine Leister replacement blower, including the turbine and housing, specifically designed for the Leister Hot Jet S 120V hot air welding tool. It restores the essential airflow function to the compact and precise Hot Jet S heat gun. [6, 7, 9]
Popular Applications & Uses
As a replacement part, its primary use is to repair and maintain the Leister Hot Jet S tool. The Hot Jet S tool itself is widely used for:- Plastic welding (e.g., HDPE, PP, PVC) [1, 2, 5]- Shrinking heat-shrink sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves, and molded parts [1, 4, 10]- Activating/dissolving solvent-free and fusion adhesives [4, 10]- Drying water-damp surfaces [4, 10]- Soldering and de-soldering SMD thru-hole components [4, 10]- Detailed welding work in confined spaces or with heat-sensitive materials [1, 2, 5]- Vehicle fairing repairs [1]- Welding of thermoplastic materials and also single-ply flexible plastics and modified bitumen in the form of boards, tubes, profiles, lining membranes, coated materials, films, foams, tiles, and sheets [4]
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication [1, 2, 5, 8]- Construction/ Building Services [3, 4, 11]- Automotive Service/Repair [1]- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer [3, 4]- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing [2]- General Manufacturing [1, 4, 10]- Industrial Supply
Special and Unique Features
- Original Leister part, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal performance with the Hot Jet S 120V tool. [6, 7, 9]- Integral component for maintaining the precise and independently adjustable airflow and temperature control of the Hot Jet S. [1, 2, 5]- Designed for the Leister Hot Jet S, a tool known for its lightweight (0.6 kg / 1.3 lbs with cord) and ergonomic design, enabling fatigue-free operation. [1, 2, 5, 11, 12]- Contributes to the tool's ability to provide electronically adjustable temperature (20-600°C) and airflow (20-80 l/min). [1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12]
Key Properties
- Product Type: Replacement Blower with Turbine and Housing [6, 7, 9]- Voltage: 120V [1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12]- Compatibility: Specifically for Leister Hot Jet S hot air welding tool [6, 7, 9]- Function: Restores or maintains the air movement mechanism within the hot air tool, crucial for its heating capabilities. [6, 7, 9]
Surface Compatibility
This replacement part itself does not directly contact surfaces. Its function is to enable the Leister Hot Jet S tool to work effectively with a wide range of materials, including:- Thermoplastic materials (e.g., HDPE, PP, PVC, Acrylic, Polycarbonate) [1, 2, 4, 5]- Elastoplastic materials [10]- Single-ply flexible plastics and modified bitumen [4]- Heat-shrinkable tubing, films, and tapes [1, 4, 10]- Adhesives (solvent-free and fusion) [4, 10]- Water-damp surfaces (for drying applications) [4, 10]- Electronic components (for soldering/de-soldering) [4, 10]
Known backups / known substitutes
- No direct substitutes for this specific Leister OEM part are typically recommended for optimal performance, safety, and warranty compliance.- The primary alternative, if the blower is irreparable or if other components are also failing, would be to replace the entire Leister Hot Jet S tool.
Comparison Note
This replacement blower is an essential OEM component for the Leister Hot Jet S, a compact and precise hot air tool. Unlike generic blowers, it is engineered to meet Leister's specific performance standards, ensuring the tool maintains its characteristic independent control of temperature and airflow, which is crucial for delicate and precise applications. Using genuine replacement parts is vital for the longevity, reliable operation, and safety of specialized industrial tools like the Hot Jet S. [1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9]
