STEINEL
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about STEINEL from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the STEINEL HL2020E and the HL2320E heat guns?
The STEINEL HL2020E and HL2320E are both standard pistol-grip heat guns operating on 120V AC with a two-prong plug and LCD display. The HL2020E draws 13.3 A, while the HL2320E draws 13.5 A. Both are supplied as bare tools. The HL2320E is also available in a kit (MPKHG2320) that includes five nozzles. The choice depends on whether you need a bare tool or a kit with accessories, and the slight difference in current draw may affect power requirements.
What replacement parts are available for the STEINEL HG350ESD heat gun?
For the STEINEL HG350ESD series, replacement parts include the switch (part number 6330) and the power cord (part number 6370). The switch measures 2 5/8 inches in length, 7/8 inches in width, and 7/8 inches in height. The power cord is 6 ft long with overall dimensions of 1 1/8 inches width and 7/8 inches height. These OEM components are designed to maintain the tool's performance and safety. Using genuine STEINEL replacement parts ensures compatibility and reliability.
What are the typical applications for STEINEL heat guns like the HL1920E?
STEINEL heat guns such as the HL1920E are used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Common uses include shrink-wrapping packaging, stripping paint, thawing frozen pipes, bending and forming plastic, soldering, and welding thermoplastic materials. The HL1920E operates on 115V AC, draws 13.2 A, and is supplied as a bare tool. Its pistol-grip design and LCD display allow for precise temperature control, making it suitable for tasks requiring consistent heat application.
Does the STEINEL HL1620S heat gun come with a case or accessories?
The STEINEL HL1620S is supplied as a bare tool without a case or accessories. It operates on 115V AC, draws 10.8 A, and features a two-prong plug. This model is suited for tasks where a lower current draw is preferred or where existing accessories are already available. Additional nozzles and accessories can be purchased separately to customize the tool for specific applications. The bare tool configuration helps reduce initial cost for users who do not require a full kit.
What voltage options are available for STEINEL heat guns?
STEINEL heat guns are available in different voltage configurations to suit various regional power standards. The models listed in 3G Electric's catalog primarily operate on 120V AC, such as the HL2020E, HL2320E, HL1920E, and HL1620S. However, STEINEL also manufactures 230V AC versions for markets using that standard. When selecting a heat gun, verify the voltage requirement matches your power supply. 3G Electric can provide specifications for specific models to ensure compatibility.
How does the LCD display on STEINEL heat guns benefit operation?
The LCD display on STEINEL heat guns, such as the HL2020E and HL2320E, provides a digital readout of the temperature setting. This allows the operator to monitor and adjust the heat output precisely for different materials and tasks. Accurate temperature control is important when working with heat-sensitive plastics, electronics, or when consistent results are required. The display enhances repeatability and helps prevent overheating or damage to the workpiece. It is a feature that supports professional and industrial use.
