Product Name
Luer Lok Adapter Tips for Mixing Nozzles-Gray-Fits 6 - 8 MM OD Nozzle Tips
Brief Description
This product is a Luer Lok adapter designed to connect static mixing nozzles, specifically those with a 6 to 8 mm outer diameter, to standard Luer Lok compatible dispensing tips or needles. It facilitates precise and controlled application of two-part materials such as adhesives, epoxies, sealants, and resins by providing a secure, leak-proof interface between the mixing nozzle and a fine dispensing tip.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precision dispensing of two-part adhesives, epoxies, and sealants in assembly processes.- Controlled application of gels, pastes, and potting compounds.- Detailed work in electronics manufacturing and repair.- Crafting, model building, jewelry making, and miniature painting requiring fine-detail adhesive application.- Filling and potting small cavities or intricate designs.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- Medical Device/ Prosthetics (for assembly and manufacturing)- Chemical Industry- Automotive Service/Repair- LED/Electronics- Artist, Artisan- Prosumer- Mold Making/ Casting- Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Engineering Services
Special and Unique Features
- Converts standard mixing nozzle tips (6-8 mm OD) to a universal Luer Lok connection.- Ensures a secure, leak-proof, and stable connection, preventing accidental disconnections and spills.- Allows for the attachment of a wide variety of Luer Lok dispensing tips, including precision needles and tapered tips.- Enhances precision and control during the dispensing process, crucial for critical applications.- Gray color for easy identification.- Industrial grade safe and often silicone-free, ensuring material purity.
Key Properties
- Connection Type: Male Luer Lok outlet for secure attachment of dispensing tips.- Nozzle Compatibility: Designed to fit mixing nozzles with an Outer Diameter (OD) of 6 to 8 mm.- Material: Typically made from durable plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene.- Color: Gray.- Pressure Rating: Capable of safe connection at air pressures up to 100 psi (for similar industrial tips).- Leak Prevention: Threaded connection ensures a tight seal.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with a wide range of fluids, including various viscosities of adhesives, sealants, epoxies, resins, gels, and chemicals.- Designed to interface with standard Luer Lock dispensing tips and needles, which can then be used on various material surfaces depending on the dispensed fluid.- Compatible with 2-part static mixing nozzles from various manufacturers that fit the specified OD.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Direct-attach dispensing tips or nozzles that are specifically designed for certain mixing nozzles, bypassing the need for an adapter.- Luer Slip adapters, though these offer a friction fit and are generally less secure for industrial dispensing under pressure compared to Luer Lok.- Alternative dispensing systems that do not utilize the Luer Lok standard.- Manual application tools (e.g., spatulas, brushes) for less precise tasks.
Comparison Note
This Luer Lok adapter provides a critical advantage by standardizing the output of proprietary mixing nozzles to the widely adopted Luer Lok system. This offers unparalleled versatility and interchangeability with a vast array of precision dispensing tips and needles, which is often not possible with mixing nozzles alone. Unlike less secure slip-fit connections, the Luer Lok mechanism ensures a robust, leak-free, and reliable connection, significantly enhancing precision and control in industrial and detailed applications.
