Description
The Techcon 18 gauge TE bent dispensing needle is a 1/2 inch tip with a 45 degree bend for controlled placement of adhesives, sealants, coatings, primers, and oils. The angled outlet helps the operator approach a bond line from the side while keeping the syringe, adapter, or valve body away from the part.
Where this dispensing needle fits
An 18 gauge tip is useful when a job needs more flow than fine detail needles but still needs a controlled bead. The 45 degree bend helps reach around ribs, housings, fixture stops, and raised edges without turning the whole dispense tool into the work area. That geometry can improve visibility on small assemblies and reduce the need to reposition the part during a bead or dot sequence.
Use this style during setup when a straight tip blocks the view or when a 90 degree bend is too aggressive for the fixture. Prove the bead with the actual material and pressure before production. If the bend is damaged, if cured material changes the outlet, or if switching fluids could contaminate the next job, replace the tip rather than forcing the process to compensate. Keep angle and gauge noted in the work instruction so reorders match the qualified setup.
