Product Name
Leister 145.812 Welding shoe complete (FWP-Int. Air) fillet weld 15mm
Brief Description
This is a specialized accessory for Leister hot-air extrusion welders, designed to create precise 15mm fillet welds in various thermoplastic materials. It features an internal air guide ("FWP-Int. Air") to ensure optimal heat distribution and consistent weld quality.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Creating fillet welds on plastic sheets, membranes, and profiles.- Fabrication of plastic tanks, containers, and pipes.- Repair and modification of rotationally molded, blow molded, vacuum formed, or injection molded plastic parts.- Joining thermoplastic materials like PVC, PE, PP, and TPO in various construction and industrial settings.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Cladding- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Synthetic Turf- Marine (e.g., boat construction and repair)- Sign & Display- Chemical Industry (e.g., thermoplastic tanks for chemical processing)- General Manufacturing- Pool/Spa/Plumbing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for 15mm fillet welds, ensuring precise geometry.- "FWP-Int. Air" indicates an internal air guide for efficient and consistent heat application during the welding process.- Optimized for use with Leister's Weldplast S2, Fusion 2, Fusion 3, and Fusion 3C extrusion welders.- Durable construction for demanding industrial environments.
Key Properties
- Weld Type: Fillet weld- Weld Size: 15mm- Air Guide: Internal (FWP-Int. Air)- Compatibility: Leister hot-air extrusion welders (e.g., Weldplast S2, Fusion 2, Fusion 3, Fusion 3C)- Material: Typically high-grade, heat-resistant metal for durability and consistent performance.
Surface Compatibility
- Thermoplastic materials including PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), and others.- Suitable for welding plastic sheets, membranes, pipes, and profiles.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes designed for different weld geometries (e.g., overlap, corner seams) or sizes.- Welding shoes from other manufacturers of hot-air welding equipment (e.g., Herz, Bak), though direct compatibility with Leister tools may vary.- Blank welding shoes that can be customized for specific applications.
Comparison Note
The Leister 145.812 is a specialized welding shoe, distinct from general-purpose or blank welding shoes, due to its precise 15mm fillet weld geometry and internal air guidance. This specialization ensures optimal performance and consistent quality for specific fillet welding tasks, offering an advantage over less specialized accessories for this particular application.
