Description
The MBHX 05-16T static mixer is a disposable helix mixing nozzle for dispensing two-part adhesives from B-System AB cartridges in 4:1 and 10:1 ratios. It has a 5.4 mm bore, 16 elements, and a stepped tip, and it sits in the middle of the Mixpac MBHX series. Orange elements in a dust grey body mark it as the 4:1 and 10:1 version. The 1:1 and 2:1 version with the same bore, element count, and tip is the MBH 05-16T, which has white elements. Many buyers ask for this nozzle as the Corian joint adhesive tip. It is the same part, listed separately as the Corian Joint Adhesive 50 mL Mixing Tip 10:1.

Where the MBHX 05-16T fits
- Middle of the range. The 5.4 mm bore is the third of four bore sizes and 16 is the middle element count, which makes it a reasonable first test when the joint does not set the bore.
- Between the 05-12D and the 05-20T. Same 5.4 mm bore with 12, 16, and 20 elements. It is 28.0 mm longer than the 05-12D and 21.8 mm shorter than the 05-20T.
- Stepped tip. The 05-16T, 05-20T, 06-16T, and 06-20T are the four stepped-tip models.
- Shorter than the 06-16T. The 06-16T has the same 16 elements and stepped tip in a 6.5 mm bore and is 20.0 mm longer.
- Same cartridges as the rest of the line. It fits B-System 4:1 and 10:1 cartridges from 45 ml to 75 ml, with the orange elements marking the ratio version.
- Disposable. A fresh nozzle avoids purging and cleanup between adhesive batches, and mounts directly to the cartridge.

Ordering
The MBHX 05-16T is stocked and sold individually, so you can order one to check fit or test a material before buying a larger quantity. Pair it with matching B-System cartridges and a gun from the MBHX series page, which lists the guns that fit each cartridge.
Frequently asked questions
What cartridges does the MBHX 05-16T fit?
Mixpac B-System AB cartridges in 4:1 and 10:1 ratios, covering the 50 ml 4:1, the 45 ml and 50 ml 10:1, and the 75 ml 10:1 sizes. It does not fit F-System 200 or 400 series cartridges, which use the MFHX or MFQX instead.
Is the MBHX 05-16T the same as the Corian joint adhesive mixing tip?
Yes. It is the same nozzle, manufacturer part 116476, listed on a second page under the name many buyers search for. The Corian Joint Adhesive 50 mL Mixing Tip 10:1 page is this same MBHX 05-16T for 50 ml 10:1 joint adhesive cartridges.
What is the difference between the MBHX 05-16T and the MBH 05-16T?
Element color and ratio. The MBHX has orange elements and is built for 4:1 and 10:1 cartridges. The MBH 05-16T has white elements and is built for 1:1 and 2:1. Both share the 5.4 mm bore, 16 elements, and stepped tip, but the ratios do not interchange. Check the element color against the ratio printed on your cartridge.
Should I use the MBHX 05-16T, the 05-12D, or the 05-20T?
All three share the 5.4 mm bore, so the choice is element count and tip. The 05-12D has 12 elements and a straight tip. The 05-16T has 16 elements and a stepped tip. The 05-20T has 20 elements and a stepped tip. If the mixed bead shows streaking, color variation, or uneven cure at 16 elements, step up to the 05-20T.
Can I buy a single MBHX 05-16T nozzle?
Yes. The MBHX 05-16T is stocked and sold individually, so you can order one to check fit or test a material before buying a larger quantity. The 06-20T is the other MBHX model stocked this way.
Does the MBHX 05-16T need a converter or retaining nut?
No. It mounts directly to the B-System cartridge with a twist and lock connection. No converter, no retaining nut, no tools.
