Heat Gun Accessories
Heat gun accessories help you channel heat precisely, protect surfaces, and expand your tool’s capabilities — from paint stripping to shrink wrapping and plastic welding. Find the right attachments to get better results on every job.
What Can You Do with Heat Gun Accessories?
Accessories let you direct airflow, shield surfaces, and get cleaner results faster:
- Reflector Nozzles – Wrap heat around pipes or tubing for bending and shrink fits.
- Glass Protection Nozzles – Deflect heat away from window panes when stripping paint from frames.
- Flat or Cone Nozzles – Focus the heat into a narrow stream or fan it wide for faster coverage.
- Scraper Attachments – Speed up paint, sticker or varnish removal while heating.
Perfect For:
- Paint and varnish removal
- Shrink tubing and wire insulation jobs
- Plastic welding or bumper repair
- Thawing frozen pipes or adhesive loosening
Choosing the Right Heat Gun Accessory
Match your job and gun type with the correct nozzle or kit layout:
1. Nozzle Style
Wide nozzles cover surfaces quickly. Fine tips or cone nozzles help focus heat in tight areas.
2. Heat Shielding
Glass nozzles and surface protectors stop heat damage to nearby frames or fragile edges.
3. Scraper Type
Fixed-blade scrapers are best for thick coatings. Flexible scrapers adapt to curves and trim areas.
Heat Gun Accessory FAQs
Are heat gun nozzles universal?
Most fit 30–35mm barrels, but always check for brand-specific sizing. Adapters are available for mismatch fits.
What’s the best nozzle for paint removal?
Flat or spoon nozzles are ideal – they spread heat evenly and allow you to follow up with a scraper easily.
Can I bend plastic pipe with a heat gun?
Yes – use a reflector nozzle to wrap the heat and bend slowly. Always wear gloves and heat in a well-ventilated area.
Do all heat guns work with scrapers?
Not all – some kits have clip-on scrapers, others are handheld. Check if your heat gun has accessory slots or attachments.
How do I prevent burning surfaces?
Use the right nozzle and keep the heat gun moving. Lower temperatures and glass protection nozzles help avoid scorch marks.
