Product Description
Eddy Mark IV Heat Gun - Model EP-3ULMS (Made in USA)
The Eddy Mark IV Series Heat Gun, Model EP-3ULMS is a professional-grade, industrial-strength tool designed for reliability and precision in a wide range of applications. Proudly made in the USA, this heavy-duty heat gun combines rugged performance with a lightweight, durable design, making it ideal for professionals in industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, and crafting. With a variable temperature range of 300–500°F, powerful airflow, and UL-listed safety certification, the EP-3ULMS delivers consistent results for demanding tasks requiring controlled heat, from heat shrinking to paint stripping. The "S" designation indicates the model uses a push button control switch (pushing in the switch button turns the heat gun on, then releasing it will automatically turn the heat gun off)
Key Features
Adjustable Temperature and Airflow
The Eddy Mark IV EP-3ULMS offers a variable temperature range of 300–500°F (149–260°C), providing precise heat control for diverse applications. Its 27 CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow at 3300 FPM (feet per minute) ensures efficient heat distribution, making it suitable for tasks like shrinking tubing, softening adhesives, or drying materials. The push button switch (OFF-ON) allows users to operate the heat gun very simplistically, pushing the button in to turn the heat gun on, then turning it off by simply releasing that same button.
Durable and Lightweight Construction
Crafted with a GE Lexan polycarbonate housing, the EP-3ULMS combines exceptional durability with a lightweight design, weighing less than 2.75 pounds. The comfort grip handle, safety stand, and trigger guard are also made from Lexan, offering superior electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. A 6-foot thermoplastic, three-wire grounded cord ensures safe operation and flexibility in various work environments.
Reliable Performance
Powered by a 120 volt, 60Hz motor, the EP-3ULMS draws 5.5 amps and generates 630 watts of electrical power, delivering consistent performance for both intermittent and continuous duty applications. The heat gun features a long-lasting mica heating element, designed to withstand prolonged use and rough handling, ensuring extended element life. This reliability makes it a trusted choice for professionals who need a dependable tool for demanding tasks.
Safety and Certification
The EP-3ULMS is UL-listed, meeting stringent safety standards for industrial use. Its aluminum shielded nozzle minimizes the risk of burns, dissipating heat from the steel nozzle that houses the heating element. The included circular safety stand provides stable hands-free operation, enhancing safety during use.
Extended Warranty
Eddy Products stands behind the EP-3ULMS with a 2-year parts and labor warranty (updated as of 12/1/2024), offering peace of mind and long-term reliability. The heat gun is designed for easy servicing, with all parts available for maintenance even after the warranty period, ensuring it remains a one-and-done investment for professionals.
Applications
The Eddy Mark IV EP-3ULMS is versatile and well-suited for a variety of professional and industrial tasks, including:
-
Heat Shrinking: Perfect for applying heat shrink tubing in electrical and automotive applications.
-
Adhesive Softening: Ideal for loosening adhesives or caulks in construction and repairs.
-
Paint Stripping: Efficiently removes paint or varnish from surfaces with controlled heat.
-
Electronics: Suitable for de-soldering or forming components in circuit board assembly.
-
Crafting and Hobbies: Supports heat-based projects like embossing, shaping plastics, or drying materials.
-
Automotive Repairs: Useful for tasks like vinyl wrapping, thawing frozen pipes, or softening sealants.
-
General Maintenance: Handles drying, curing, or warming tasks in industrial and home settings.
Note: The EP-3ULMS' lower temperature range makes it less suitable for high-heat applications like hi-temp heavy duty shrink tubing or shrink wrap, where higher-temperature models (e.g., EP-7UL) may be more appropriate.
Usage and Safety Guidelines
-
Operation: Maintain at least a one-inch distance from the work surface to prevent back pressure and element burnout.
-
Power Requirements: Ensure the electrical line and receptacle match the 115/120V, 5.5A requirements. Use a 14-gauge, three-prong grounding extension cord for outdoor use to prevent voltage drop or overheating.
-
Safety Precautions: Keep out of reach of children due to its high heat output. Store indoors away from rain or moisture. Have a fire extinguisher nearby and observe standard fire safety protocols.
-
Maintenance: Replace damaged cords or plugs immediately. Contact Eddy Products for servicing or parts to maintain optimal performance.
-
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the heat gun to rain or moisture. Connect only to a grounded outlet.
