Threaded Needle for Dispensing

This Weller threaded needle is a 16-gauge stainless steel dispensing tip with a blunt end and a purple plastic hub. It connects via a Luer-Lock fitting and measures one inch in length. The needle is designed for use with KDS808 and KDS824A dispensing systems. A pack contains fifty pieces for high-volume applications.

Simple Luer-Lock Installation

Installation requires pressing the needle onto a compatible Luer-Lock syringe or valve until it seats firmly. The plastic hub provides a secure grip for attachment and removal without tools. The most common issue is cross-threading or damaging the hub threads if forced onto an incompatible fitting. Always verify the connection type matches your dispensing equipment before use.

16-Gauge Capacity and Flow

The 16-gauge bore with a 0.053-inch inner diameter handles medium-viscosity fluids such as adhesives, sealants, and solder pastes. It provides steady flow for general-purpose dispensing tasks without excessive pressure. Very high-viscosity materials or applications requiring micro-deposits may exceed the practical flow limits of this gauge size.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the KDS161P needle is flowing correctly after attaching it to my dispenser?

Attach the 16-gauge needle to the Luer-Lock hub, dispense a small amount of fluid, and verify a steady, unobstructed stream exits the 0.053 in blunt tip without dripping.

What comes in the KDS161P package and what must I supply separately?

The box contains 50 sterile, purple-coded 16-gauge stainless-steel needles with plastic Luer-Lock hubs; you must provide a compatible KDS808 or KDS824A dispenser and the fluid to be dispensed.

When should I choose the 16-gauge KDS161P over other Weller needle gauges?

Select the 16-gauge KDS161P when your application requires a 0.053 in inner diameter for medium-viscosity fluids and a 1-inch blunt tip reach on a KDS808 or KDS824A dispenser.
