Heat-Shrink Wands

Create a circle of radiant heat to install heat-shrink tubing, seal heat-shrink wire splices, and bend plastic tubing. Use in applications where blowing air is not practical, such as in clean rooms and other controlled environments. Wands can be hand held or bench mounted with the included stand. Height does not include the stand.

Heating elements (sold separately) are required for operation. They are plated to reflect and focus heat. Intermittent-duty heating elements are designed for heating intervals of less than two minutes.

Mobile Heat Lamps

Roll these lamps to your work surface and position the head anywhere along the stand, 18”-30” from what you want to heat. Use for spot-drying paint, adhesive, and other surface coatings and fillers. They’re also known as infrared and radiant heaters.

Fixed-temperature lamps have a head that rotates for horizontal or vertical positioning.
