Nose Assemblies
8
I M P O R T A N T
Nose assemblies do NOT include nose tips. Nose tips must be ordered separately.
A complete tool will always be fitted with the correct nose assembly and nose tip for your fastener but if you wish to order a nose
assembly or a nose tip separately, refer to the ‘NOSE TIPS’ tables on pages 9-11.
If your application presents no access restriction use a type ‘1’ nose tip unless you are placing aerospace fasteners which requires a
type ‘3’ nose tip or Avtainer ® fasteners a type 5 nose tip.
Dimensions ‘A’ and ‘B’ below will help you assess the suitability of a particular nose tip.
You should also check that the dimensions of the nose casing will not restrict access to your application. If access is restricted type
‘2’ nose tips are available for some fasteners. Refer to the table on page 10.
It is essential that nose assembly and nose tip are compatible with the fastener prior to operating the tool.
The type 4 is an alternative to place 1 /
4
in Monobolt ® . See respective table.
Swivel heads are available as an alternative to nose assemblies as well as an extension when further reach is required. See page 12-
16 in the ‘Accessories’ section.
Nose assemblies should be serviced at weekly intervals. You should hold some stock of all internal components of the nose assembly
and nose tips as they will need regular replacement.
