Loctite LOC98389 18 Gauge Tapered Tip Dispensing Needle

Product Description

The LOCTITE LOC98389 is an 18-gauge helix thread dispensing needle with a tapered tip, designed for precise adhesive and sealant application in professional settings. Measuring 1.25 inches in length and finished in green for easy gauge identification, this needle threads securely onto standard dispensing syringes. It is used by technicians and assemblers who need controlled, repeatable fluid deposits in tight or hard-to-reach locations. The tapered tip geometry reduces dripping and allows accurate placement of threadlockers, retaining compounds, and other liquid products commonly used in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly work.

This needle is suited for bench-top and field dispensing applications where adhesive volume control is critical. Typical uses include applying thread-locking compounds to fasteners, seating retaining compounds in close-tolerance assemblies, and dispensing sealants in confined areas on mechanical equipment. The 18-gauge size is appropriate for medium-viscosity fluids. Sold in a pack of 50, the quantity supports ongoing production or service work without frequent reordering.
