7pcs 35mm Stainless Steel Heat Gun Nozzles Kits for Hot Air Gun Soldering Station Nozzle Tool

Product Information

Wear safety goggles and heat-resistant gloves when using a heat gun, as well as a respirator mask if working in a restricted area. Some heat guns can be used on a stand so that both hands are free to work with other tools alongside the hot air. To get the most effective temperature, any heat gun can be held further away from the surface to reduce the heat, but having variable settings offers more choice.

Heat Gun Reflector Nozzle - Bosch Professional

Glass protector nozzle: This nozzle allows you to strip paint and varnish, etc from neat a glass pane, without warming and melting the putty or glass. It the putty is warmed it can become soft and the glass can work loose, possibly falling out. To prevent this happening this nozzle directs the heat from the gun away from the glass and on to the surface where you need it While the typical nozzle is an open and even heat output, there are different types of nozzles that can concentrate, protect, reflect or distribute the air. The STEINEL perforated flat nozzle is designed for speedy welding. Small holes that are punched into the side of the nozzle help disperse hot air along the length of the adapter and make it easy to pre-heat plastics before welding them. A heat gun is a device that produces a stream or jet of heated air that is projected from the front opening and is then usually used for stripping paint, varnish and other similar jobs. The higher the wattage of a heat gun, the more powerful (hot) it is and a gun of about 2000W is plenty for the majority of jobs you will need to do around the home.

Heat guns should be held at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the work and never kept in one place for more than a few seconds. As the paint begins to bubble under the heat, move the gun and strip the paint with a scraper. A smaller adapter, the 50 x 35mm version has a rounded design but performs a similar function to the 85mm adapter. The 50mm nozzle fits HG 2120 E, HG 2220 E and HG 2320 E, HG 2000 E, HG 2300 E and HG 2310 LCD plus the HL 2020 E and HL 1920 E, L 2010 E and HL 1910 E models. STEINEL Perforated Flat Nozzle The heat is produced by a fan drawing air in at the rear of the gun, passing the air over heated elements to create a stream of hot air. Heat guns are electric hand tools which look and work in a similar way to hair dryers – operating a fan that pulls air into the body of the tool and drives it across an electric heating element and out through a nozzle. Heat guns are sometimes referred to as hot air guns.

There will be some paint that will be difficult to remove as it has not been warmed sufficiently or is trapped between the grain. Don’t risk burning or discolouring the wood by using the heat gun on these little bits. Simply sand down the wood to get a great finish, or use a paint stripper which will not damage the surface. See our project on other ways to strip paint. Be Aware of Lead Paint on Older Doors, Fittings and Furniture Before you start work, ensure that the cord is long enough to easily reach the area you’re working in – if it isn’t, plug the heat gun into an extension lead to extend your reach. More complex models have two or three heat settings or even a variable adjustment within a heat range, combined with a choice of two, three or variable speeds of air flow. Removing crayon from walls – heat the markings and allow it to warm the wax, then wipe the wax off with a cloth soaked in hot, soapy water.

Additionally heating paint can give off dangerous fumes so always strip paint using a heat gun in a well ventilated space and always use a suitable respirator face mask. They are particularly useful in cable harness manufacturing, where a lot of heat shrink material needs to be applied in an area where there are lots of wires and components that could suffer damage. As well as that, heat guns help remove old paint drips off the floor by warming the paint until it bubbles, before it can be carefully scraped it off. Using heat guns for softening Plumber’s putty that’s hardened against pipes, tiles or porcelain can be difficult to remove. It’s easier to do if the putty is initially softened by applying heat and then scraping at the base where it meets the surface. Using heat guns for repairs

You can use the main nozzle from the heat gun. This allows the heat to come directly from the heat gun without trying to direct it or funneling it. This provides a heat over a wide area, although this will still be concentrated enough to do strip effectively. This is suitable for most DIY applications, so there is often no need to get other nozzles. There are other uses of the heat gun where having lower air flows and/or lower temperature ranges can be useful, such as:STEINEL’s round reduction nozzles provide pinpoint accuracy for hot air streams and are regularly used to weld plastic PVC in flooring joints and seams. Reduction nozzles are perfect for concentrating airflow and heat for desoldering, welding and a range of other purposes. Wattage – this refers to the power of the heat gun. They commonly range from 1,000W to 2,000W. If there are heat and/or airflow controls, the higher the wattage, the more effective it is. The flat angled nozzle is available with a 40mm nozzle and a 20mm nozzle. STEINEL Round Reduction Nozzle The 9mm reduction nozzle delivers a hot air stream with pinpoint precision while the 14mm nozzle produces a slightly less concentrated stream, perfect for plastic welding.
