Description
The MBHX 04-16S 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 4.2 mm bore, 16 elements, and a tapered tip, and it is the tapered-tip version of the 04-16D. 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 04-16S, which has white elements. It is one of nine models in the Mixpac MBHX series.

Where the MBHX 04-16S fits
- Second-smallest bore in the line. The 4.2 mm bore is 1.0 mm wider than the 03-16S and 1.2 mm narrower than the 5.4 mm models.
- Tapered tip. The 04-16S and the 03-16S are the only two tapered-tip models. The 04-16D has the same bore and elements with a straight tip.
- 9.8 mm longer than the 04-16D. Same bore, same 16 elements, and the tapered tip is what adds the length. It is 19.0 mm longer than the 03-16S.
- 16 elements, wider bore than the 03-16S. Both are tapered-tip models with 16 elements. The 04-16S has the 1.0 mm wider bore.
- 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.

Running a 1:1 or 2:1 B-System cartridge instead? Use the MBH 04-16S, which has white elements. The ratios do not interchange.
You also need a gun that matches the cartridge. The MBHX series page lists the guns for each B-System cartridge.

Frequently asked questions
What cartridges does the MBHX 04-16S 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.
What is the difference between the MBHX 04-16S and the MBH 04-16S?
Element color and ratio. The MBHX has orange elements and is built for 4:1 and 10:1 cartridges. The MBH 04-16S has white elements and is built for 1:1 and 2:1. Both share the 4.2 mm bore, 16 elements, tapered tip, and length, but the ratios do not interchange. Check the element color against the ratio printed on your cartridge.
What is the difference between the MBHX 04-16S and the 04-16D?
The tip. The 04-16S has a tapered tip. The 04-16D has a straight tip, with the same 4.2 mm bore and 16 elements, and is about 10 mm shorter. Pick the 04-16S when you want the tapered tip at this bore.
What is the difference between the MBHX 04-16S and the 03-16S?
Bore and length. Both have a tapered tip and 16 elements. The 04-16S has the 4.2 mm bore and the 03-16S has the 3.2 mm bore, which also makes the 03-16S the shortest nozzle in the line. Step up from the 03-16S to the 04-16S when you want the wider bore without giving up the tapered tip.
Can I buy a single MBHX 04-16S nozzle?
The MBHX 04-16S is sold by the case of 5,000, so it is not a single-nozzle item. If you want one nozzle to test a material, the 05-16T and 06-20T are stocked and sold individually. Call or email about case orders of the 04-16S.
Does the MBHX 04-16S 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.
