Description
18 Gauge Needle tips give production teams a higher-flow Techcon TE option for controlled dispensing from compatible syringe barrels. This pack includes 50 green 18 gauge tips with a 1 inch stainless steel cannula and double-helix polypropylene Luer-lock hub, a practical size for adhesive, sealant, solvent, primer, oil, ink, and other compatible fluid work where a larger outlet is useful.
18 Gauge Needle Features
- 1 inch stainless cannula gives reach into fixtures, housings, and recessed parts.
- Green hub supports quick gauge identification during setup and changeover.
- Luer-lock hub helps keep the tip seated on compatible syringe barrels and adapters.
- Pack of 50 keeps clean replacement tips available at repeat-use workstations.
- Techcon lists the TE series as burr-free, electro-polished, silicone-free, chloride-free, and rated to 100 psi.
The 18 gauge size is useful when the fluid or deposit target needs more flow than fine-gauge needles can provide. Operators can use it for controlled beads, dots, filling, edge work, and bench assembly tasks where a cartridge nozzle would be too broad.
18 Gauge Needle Setup Notes
Start with moderate dispense pressure, then adjust shot time and pressure together until the bead is consistent. If the fluid drags, strings, or takes too much pressure, test a shorter tip or a larger outlet before forcing material through the cannula. Replace tips that are bent, clogged, or contaminated by cured material. This balance matters for repeat work because the same gauge can behave differently when fluid temperature, viscosity, shot size, and operator angle change during the day.
