🔹 90° Angled Tube Nozzle – Perfect for tight joint access, directing high heat precisely.
🔹 Rectangular Nozzle – Covers a larger bore size for uniform heating of flooring materials.

🔹 Round Adapter Nozzle – Provides optimized gas coverage for focused heat application.
🔹 Hook-Shaped Welding Nozzle – Allows for controlled heat flow, improving the weld pool and ensuring a strong bond created between materials.

🔹 Slip-On Nozzles & Thread-On Varieties – Available in different inner diameters for precise gas pressure control.
🔹 Nickel-Plated Nozzles & Copper Nozzles – Withstand high temperatures and prolong nozzle life.
🔹 Thicker Insulators & Heavy-Duty Nozzles – Help maintain consistent heat for optimal welding processes.

How to Choose the Right Welding Nozzle?

1️⃣ Consider the Material & Shape – Brass nozzles, copper nozzles, and nickel-plated nozzles offer different heat resistance and durability levels.
2️⃣ Optimize Gas Coverage – The right nozzle helps maintain stable shielding gas flow, preventing spatter and ensuring clean welding joints.
3️⃣ Check Inner Diameter & Bore Size – Affects weld puddle control, gas pressure, and heat distribution.
4️⃣ Ensure Proper Storage – Keep in a small plastic bag within its original packaging to protect from contaminants.

Best Practices for Nozzle Maintenance & Longer Arc-On Time

✔ Use Anti-Spatter Compound – Prevents buildup and extends nozzle life.
✔ Store Properly in a Small Plastic Bag – Protects against debris and damage.
✔ Replace Nozzles with Worn Inner Diameter – Ensures gas pressure remains stable for correct welding methods.
✔ Inspect for Heat Distortion & Pressure Issues – Maintaining the largest bore size prevents gas restriction.

Frequently Asked Questions– Welding Nozzle

1. What types of welding nozzles are available for vinyl heat guns?

Our selection includes flat nozzles, angled nozzles, round nozzles, hook-shaped nozzles, and rectangular nozzles, each designed for different heat welding applications. Flat nozzles provide even heat distribution, while angled nozzles offer better joint access for precise welding.

Consider these factors:

  • Flooring material (PVC, linoleum, or rubber)

  • Seam width & depth (narrow seams require precise nozzles)

  • Heat distribution needs (flat nozzles for even coverage, round nozzles for concentrated heat)

  • Joint access (angled nozzles help in tight spaces)

Follow these maintenance tips:

  • Use an anti-spatter compound to prevent molten material buildup.

  • Proper storage – Keep the nozzle in a small plastic bag to prevent contamination.

  • Regular cleaning – Remove residue after each use to maintain consistent heat distribution.

  • Avoid excessive pressure – Applying too much force can deform the nozzle.

The temperature setting depends on the flooring material:

  • PVC & commercial vinyl: 350-450°C (662-842°F)

  • Linoleum: 200-300°C (392-572°F)

  • Rubber flooring: Adjust based on thickness and adhesive properties

Always start at a lower temperature and gradually increase to avoid burning the material.

Yes, but different materials may require different heat settings and nozzle designs. For example:

  • Thin sheet vinyl works best with a flat or round nozzle.

  • Thicker resilient flooring may need a hook-shaped nozzle for precise heat application.

  • Narrow seams require nozzles with a smaller bore size for better control.

For best results, always match the nozzle type to your specific welding process.
