At a Glance: Key Applications
Use the 45° Sausage Gun Nozzle (38mm) for: angled sealant application, overhead joints, hard-to-reach gaps, and precision caulking in tight access areas.
45 Degree Sausage Gun Nozzle – A Technical Overview
This precision-moulded 45° nozzle is designed to fit 38mm sausage guns, providing a consistent, controlled bead in areas where a straight nozzle cannot reach effectively. Whether you're sealing joints in window frames, cladding, or overhead gaps, the angled design allows for superior manoeuvrability and ergonomic application. Made from rigid high-density plastic, it resists flex and ensures a clean cut-off even under heavy pressure.
Core Features & Specifications
- 45° angled tip optimises access in confined or sloped joint locations
- Fits 38mm standard sausage gun barrels with secure fitment
- Durable high-density polymer construction prevents warping or splitting
- Smooth internal bore reduces flow resistance for consistent bead extrusion
- Easy to trim to preferred bead size for fine detail work
The 45 Degree Sausage Gun Nozzle Advantage
- Improves application ergonomics and precision when working in overhead or angled positions
- Reduces wrist strain and effort compared to straight nozzles in complex access zones
- Provides better sealant contact and adhesion in joints with tight or odd angles
- Allows for neater finishes and reduced tooling when applying sealants in critical visual zones
Application information cards
Required Tools & Equipment
- Standard 38mm sausage gun
- Cutting knife or nozzle cutter for adjusting bead size
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Trim the nozzle tip at a slight angle to further enhance flow direction
- Warm up sealant slightly in cold environments for easier extrusion
Avoiding Common Issues
- Ensure tight fit to prevent nozzle pop-off under pressure
- Do not overtighten if using adaptors or couplers — may damage nozzle collar
Storage & Shelf Life Considerations
Store in a clean, dry environment away from UV light and excessive heat. Ensure nozzles are kept free from dust or contaminants to maintain internal bore cleanliness. Shelf life is indefinite when stored appropriately.
Certifications & Regulatory Compliance
This nozzle is classified as a non-regulated tool accessory. It meets general compliance requirements for use with most commercial sausage guns under Australian trade safety standards.
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.
