45 Degree Sausage Gun Nozzle 38mm is a precision-moulded applicator designed for high-stakes sealing in complex architectural geometries and restricted access areas. Featuring a fixed 45-degree angle and a smooth internal bore, it prevents sealant backup while ensuring a steady, non-pulsing flow during extrusion.
The rigid high-density polymer construction provides a secure fitment that resists warping under pressure, reducing the risk of nozzle pop-off or inconsistent joint wetting in overhead expansion joints and recessed window frames.
Frequently Asked Questions About 45 Degree Sausage Gun Nozzle – 38mm
Q: Can this nozzle be used with any 38mm sausage gun?
A: Yes, the nozzle is designed to universally fit all 38mm sausage-style applicators, offering a secure fit and consistent extrusion regardless of the gun brand.
Q: What materials can I apply with this nozzle?
A: It is suitable for most sealants and adhesives including silicones, polyurethanes, acrylics, and hybrid polymer systems—ideal for both vertical and angled applications.
Q: Does the nozzle come pre-cut?
A: No, the nozzle tip is solid and should be cut to your preferred bead size and angle to suit the job’s requirements. This gives better control over flow rate and finish.
Q: Is this nozzle reusable?
A: It is technically reusable if cleaned thoroughly after use, but for professional settings and optimal hygiene, replacement is generally recommended after each job.
Applying 45 Degree Sausage Gun Nozzle: Protocols & Best Practices
General Application Steps:- Preparation: Choose the correct sealant or adhesive and ensure your sausage gun is compatible with a 38mm nozzle. Cut the nozzle to the desired bead size and angle.
- Installation: Fit the nozzle securely onto the sausage gun. Insert the sausage into the gun and ensure an airtight fit.
- Application: Apply sealant smoothly using the angled nozzle to follow the joint line precisely, especially in overhead or angled joints.
- Tooling: If needed, tool the sealant within the working time to ensure proper wetting and surface contact.

Applications & Benefits
| Application / Use Case | Key Benefit | Primary Trades |
|---|---|---|
| Overhead or vertical sealant application | Reduces wrist strain and improves bead control at difficult angles | Glaziers, Builders |
| Caulking tight access corners or reveals | Enables clean finish without excessive tooling or over-application | Joiners, Carpenters |
| Angled façade cladding joints | Provides consistent flow rate and smooth finish around angled details | Facade Installers, Commercial Fitout Teams |
| Window and glazing frame perimeters | Ensures proper joint fill and surface contact in complex geometries | Window Installers, Glaziers |
Limitations & Safety
Limitations:
- Not suitable for use with cartridge guns – for 38mm sausage guns only
- Cannot correct poor sealant choice or incorrect joint design – this is an applicator aid
Safety & Handling:
- PPE: Wear gloves and eye protection when working with chemical sealants.
- Ventilation: Use in well-ventilated areas to avoid vapour build-up from sealants.
- Handling: Dispose of used nozzles responsibly. Do not reuse if contaminated.
- First Aid: Follow sealant manufacturer’s SDS for first aid procedures. Nozzle itself poses no direct hazard.
Substrate Compatibility & Application Suitability
This nozzle itself does not contact substrates directly but instead enhances the application precision of sealants and adhesives onto a variety of substrates. Its angled shape helps achieve better contact and finish when sealing or bonding to:
- Glass & Glazing Frames – improved joint access in tight corners
- Metal Panels & Flashings – clean application along bends and seams
- Masonry & Concrete – targeted placement in control joints and expansion gaps
- Timber Joinery – ideal for awkward window frame recesses
- PVC and Composite Claddings – angled delivery improves visual neatness
Note: Actual substrate compatibility depends on the sealant or adhesive used. This nozzle supports better finish and joint integrity by directing the product where it's needed most.
