Description
The Permabond 15 gauge stainless steel dispensing needle gives adhesive users a larger metal outlet for controlled flow from compatible AA, CA, ET, MT, PT, TA, and UV packages. The straight stainless tube and hub fit the basic Permabond package nozzle, stepping the outlet down to a repeatable bead or dot without switching to a full valve system.
Where this dispensing needle fits
A 15 gauge outlet is useful when the material is too thick for fine micro tips or when the bond area needs a visible bead instead of a tiny drop. Assemblers use this size for cyanoacrylate, acrylic, epoxy, primer, and UV adhesive packages that already have a nozzle but need better reach or more accurate placement. Stainless steel construction also holds its shape better than a soft plastic tip when the operator touches the tip against a fixture, edge, or recess.
The needle is a simple consumable, but it affects dispense quality. A clean, straight outlet keeps the bead centered, reduces scrape marks from a damaged tip, and makes it easier to repeat the same application angle across a batch of parts. Keep fresh tips near the adhesive station so operators do not keep using a clogged or bent tip after the flow pattern changes.
Use notes for adhesive stations
Match the tip to both the package and the adhesive. A dispensing tip controls placement, while a mixing nozzle or 2 part mixing nozzle is used only when two components have to combine before the bead reaches the part. Requests for a jb weld mixing nozzle should be checked carefully because those buyers may need a cartridge mixer, not a single-component needle. Keep the package upright while installing the tip, purge a small amount onto scrap, and wipe the hub before storage. If the bead tails, pulses, or drips after pressure is released, change the tip before adjusting the adhesive process. Write the selected gauge on the job traveler when a repeat assembly depends on a specific bead width, because small changes in outlet size can change squeeze-out and cleanup time.

Choosing this dispensing needle for adhesive packages
Choose the 15 gauge size when flow restriction is the problem, not when the job needs the smallest possible dot. It suits higher-volume bead work, faster wet-out on wider bond lines, and viscous materials that push too hard through smaller tips. If the process uses a low-viscosity cyanoacrylate or primer, test the bead on scrap first because a large outlet can dispense more fluid than expected.
Store stainless tips clean and capped when they are reused, and replace them when cured adhesive changes the outlet shape. For adjacent tips, nozzles, syringes, and package accessories, browse dispensers, mixers, and nozzles. For manufacturer background on adhesive nozzles and applicator options, see Permabond.
