As you must not heat a single area for too long this nozzle allows you to heat a smaller area and therefore not over heat the area you are working on. It’s great when you’re working in confined spaces or detailed work 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. 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.
