Product Name
Leister 146.232 Welding Shoe Complete (FWP-Ext.Air) fillet weld 20 mm
Brief Description
The Leister 146.232 Welding Shoe is a specialized accessory designed for Leister hot-air plastic extrusion welders. It is engineered to create precise 20 mm fillet welds, featuring an external air guide (FWP-Ext.Air) for optimal performance in various plastic welding applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Creating 20 mm fillet welds in plastic fabrication projects.- Welding plastic components in tank and container construction.- Repair and construction in aquaculture and marine environments (e.g., boats).- Sealing geomembranes in landfill, mining, and reservoir projects.- Waterproofing applications for flat roofs, foundations, tunnels, and ponds.- Manufacturing and repairing items like protective covers, tents, and awnings.- General plastic repairs and installations, including flooring.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- Plastic Fabrication- Marine- Energy- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Distributers & Resellers- General Manufacturing- Cladding- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Pool/Spa/Plumbing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for 20 mm fillet welds, ensuring consistent seam geometry.- Features an external air guide (FWP-Ext.Air) for efficient hot air delivery during the welding process.- Compatible with a range of Leister extrusion welders, including WELDPLAST S4, S2, FUSION 2, FUSION 3, and FUSION 3C.- Manufactured by Leister, a market leader known for durable and reliable plastic welding technology.
Key Properties
- **Article Number:** 146.232- **Welding Seam Geometry:** Fillet Weld seam- **Weld Size:** 20 mm- **Air Guide:** External (FWP-Ext.Air)- **Brand:** Leister- **Compatibility:** Designed for Leister WELDPLAST S-series and FUSION extrusion welders.
Surface Compatibility
This welding shoe is primarily compatible with various thermoplastics that can be welded using hot-air extrusion welding techniques. This includes, but is not limited to:- Polyethylene (PE)- Polypropylene (PP)- Other weldable plastic membranes and sheets used in construction, civil engineering, and fabrication.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Leister 145.940 20mm Fillet Weld Welding Shoe:** Another 20mm fillet weld shoe, compatible with similar extruders, but may have internal air guide or different design.- **Leister Blank Welding Shoes (e.g., 146.239):** These can be modified by the end-user to create custom weld geometries, serving as a versatile alternative for specific needs.- **Other Leister welding shoes:** Leister offers a wide range of welding shoes for different seam geometries (e.g., overlap, corner outside, V-seam) and sizes (e.g., 10mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm), which serve as substitutes for different weld requirements.
Comparison Note
The Leister 146.232 stands out as a dedicated solution for 20 mm fillet welds with external air guidance, making it ideal for applications requiring this specific seam type and air delivery method. While other Leister welding shoes offer different geometries (like overlap or corner seams) or sizes, the 146.232 is precisely engineered for its stated purpose. Its "FWP-Ext.Air" designation differentiates it from internal air guide (IA) models, which might be preferred for certain tool types or working conditions.
