Product Description

Eddy Mark IV - EP-5ULM (Made in USA)  

The Eddy Mark IV EP-5ULM is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade variable temperature heat gun engineered for demanding professional applications that require consistent, mid-range heat output without excessive temperatures. Proudly manufactured in the USA by Eddy Products since the introduction of their heat gun line over 50 years ago, this model is celebrated for its exceptional durability, prolonged motor brush and heating element life, and reliability in both intermittent and continuous duty cycles. At a lightweight 2.75 lbs (including stand), it balances portability with robust performance, delivering flameless heat from 500°F to 750°F at 27 CFM airflow. The EP-5ULM features a break-resistant mica heating element with a suspended quick-change design for effortless maintenance, and it's UL-listed for safety assurance, making it a trusted choice for workshops, manufacturing floors, and field repairs.

Key Features

• Robust Construction: Made with G.E. Lexan 940A Resin (UL-approved, flame-retardant polycarbonate) for the body, handle, trigger guard, and safety stand, ensuring impact resistance, electrical insulation, and a cool exterior during use.

• Quick-Change Mica Element: Break-resistant, suspended mica heating element (optimized for 115V/120V) allows tool-free replacement, extending element and motor brush life.

• Precise Temperature Control: Adjustable air intake regulator for variable settings between 500°F and 750°F, paired with a three-position off-cold-hot toggle switch for operational flexibility.

• Optimized Airflow: Delivers steady 27 CFM through a double-jacketed nozzle and shield, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and versatile heat distribution via the 1 3/16" nozzle.

• Maintenance-Friendly: User-replaceable carbon brushes and springs, with full parts availability, support quick servicing and prolonged motor life.

• Portable Design: Lightweight at 2.75 pounds with an integrated circular stand for stable, hands-free operation, ideal for both benchtop and mobile tasks.

Extended Warranty

Eddy Products stands behind the EP-5ULM 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 EP-5ULM is now available in both standard 120V and optional 400 Cycle (400 Hz) versions with a built-in bridge rectifier. This allows the same heat gun to deliver full power on regular household/shop 60 Hz outlets AND aircraft/military 400 Hz systems with no adapters or converters needed.

The EP-5ULM's high-temperature range (500°F-750°F) makes it perfect for demanding tasks like heavy-duty shrinking, paint stripping, and industrial curing across various industries. Applications are drawn from the Eddy Mark IV series, with emphasis on high-heat suitability:

Optimized for higher-temperature tasks involving shrinking, stripping, curing, and thawing, the EP-5ULM shines in environments where precision meets intensity across multiple sectors:

• Aircraft and Aerospace: Runs perfectly on both standard shop power and direct 400 Hz aircraft ground power. Shrink heavy tubing and plastics; mold and form reinforced materials; fast-cure and dry epoxies; pre-heat metals; dry assemblies and glassware; raise/maintain temperatures for liquids/solids/gases; soften and bend plastic tubing. The top choice for MRO shops, flight-line techs, and hangar maintenance.
• Automotive: Accelerate curing of body fillers, epoxies, and undercoatings; remove stubborn decals, paint, and adhesives; shrink upholstery fabrics and headliners; loosen seized rusted parts; thaw frozen fuel lines or locks; and dry paint booths or electrical components.
• Food Processing: Apply industrial shrink fittings and seals, bond heat-resistant plastics, dry large-scale equipment or conveyor parts, shrink protective films on bulk packaging, and maintain elevated temperatures for processing viscous materials.
• Electronics and General Industrial: Set high-temp thermoplastic adhesives, shrink heavy packaging or cable insulation, soften and remove tough laminates or tiles, thaw industrial pipes or valves, strip multiple layers of paint, melt heavy solder joints, and dry moisture in large motors or machinery.
• Graphic Arts and Printing: Dry thick inks, films, or overcoatings; reflow and smooth embossed surfaces; set industrial adhesives; shrink-fit durable Teflon or polymer sleeves on machinery rollers; and cure high-heat plastics or lacquers on prototypes.
• Home, Construction, and Metalworking: Strip multiple paint layers from surfaces, bend metal conduits or heavy laminates, remove caulking or adhesives from frameworks, dry expansive damp areas before finishing, thaw frozen plumbing or materials, cure construction adhesives, and speed up joint drying in drywall or masonry.
• Other Industries: Furniture manufacturing for upholstery shrinking and wood bending; metalworking for forging prep and rust removal; general fabrication for hot patching and material reforming.

Note: The EP-5UL's mid to high temperature range makes it suitable for most heat gun applications. 

Usage and Safety

• Operation: Adjust the air intake regulator to achieve the desired temperature within 500°F-750°F, and modulate airflow for intensity. Use the toggle switch for hot (heated output), cold (ambient air for cooling or dust removal), or off modes. The integrated stand enables secure, hands-free positioning for detailed or repetitive tasks—simply set it down and activate.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect and replace the mica heating element or brushes using the quick-change system (parts kits available). Clean the nozzle periodically to sustain optimal airflow, and store in a dry environment after cooling on the "cold" setting.
• Safety Features:
  • UL-listed for comprehensive electrical safety, meeting industrial standards.
  • Double-jacketed nozzle and Lexan shield keep external surfaces cool, significantly reducing burn risks during extended sessions.
  • Three-wire grounded cord with durable thermal plastic jacketing and strain relief guards against electrical faults and wear.
  • Suspended element design and replaceable components minimize overheating or failure points for reliable, safe performance.
  • Built-in stand prevents accidental tip-overs and promotes stable operation.
• Guidelines: Always use in well-ventilated areas to avoid fume buildup, wear appropriate PPE (heat-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing), and maintain a safe distance from flammable materials or sensitive surfaces. Never leave unattended while powered on, and allow full cooldown before handling or storage.

Following these protocols ensures efficient, hazard-free operation in professional settings.
