Ideal for professionals in industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, and crafting, the kit features an adjustable temperature range of 250–1100°F (121–593°C), dual-speed airflow, ETL-listed safety certification, and a durable blow-molded carrying case. Designed for tasks from heat shrinking to paint stripping, the VT-1100 Kit delivers consistent results with added accessories for specialized work, making it a complete solution for both industrial and DIY projects.
Key Features
Variable Temperature and Dual-Speed Airflow
At the heart of the kit is the VT-1100 heat gun with solid-state construction and a variable temperature control dial, enabling seamless adjustments from 250–1100°F (121–593°C) to accommodate delicate or heavy-duty tasks. The dual-speed motor offers two airflow settings (7-9 CFM at high speed), allowing optimization for focused precision on low speed or broader coverage on high speed. This flexibility ensures efficient heat distribution for applications like softening adhesives or removing rust and varnish.
Durable and Lightweight Construction
The VT-1100 heat gun is built with a rugged, impact-resistant housing, weighing under 1.8 pounds for effortless handling during extended use. The ergonomic grip handle and integrated stand promote comfort and stability, while the 6 1/2-foot cord provides flexibility and durability in demanding environments. The long-lasting heating element is engineered for prolonged reliability, resisting wear from rigorous professional demands.
Reliable Performance
Powered by a 120 volts, 60Hz motor drawing 10 amps and generating up to 1200 watts, the VT-1100 delivers steady heat output for intermittent or semi-continuous applications. The dual-speed fan balances power and efficiency, conserving energy on lower settings while delivering robust performance on high. This makes the kit a dependable choice for professionals requiring consistent results across diverse tasks.
Included Accessories for Enhanced Versatility
The VT-1100 Kit elevates functionality with a curated set of accessories stored in a blow-molded carrying case for organized transport and storage:
-
Heat Concentrator Nozzles (3/8" and 7/8"): Focuses airflow for pinpoint heating in tight spaces, ideal for electronics or small repairs.
-
Air Spreader Nozzle: Disperses heat over larger areas, perfect for paint stripping or thawing frozen pipes.
-
Heat Shrink Deflector: Protects surrounding surfaces during heat shrink applications, preventing unintended damage.
These accessories expand the kit's capabilities, allowing users to adapt the tool quickly without additional purchases.
Safety and Certification
The entire kit is ETL-listed (equivalent to UL and CSA standards), meeting stringent safety protocols. The heat gun includes overheat protection and a shielded nozzle to minimize burn risks, complemented by the integrated stand for safe, hands-free operation. The double-insulated design adds protection between the user and electrical components, while the sturdy carrying case ensures secure transport.
Extended Warranty
Eddy Products supports the VT-1100 Kit with a 1-year warranty (at normal use), underscoring its durability. All replacement parts, including accessories, are readily available, facilitating easy maintenance and long-term value.
Applications
The Eddy Products VT-1100 Heat Gun Kit is highly versatile, supporting professional and industrial tasks such as:
-
Heat Shrinking: Essential for applying heat shrink tubing in electrical, automotive, and aerospace work, enhanced by the deflector nozzle.
-
Paint and Varnish Stripping: Efficiently removes old paint, rust, or adhesives using the air spreader for broad coverage.
-
Adhesive Softening: Loosens caulks, sealants, or labels in construction and repairs with precise control.
-
Automotive Repairs: Supports vinyl wrapping, thawing frozen components, or softening weather stripping, with concentrator for detailed areas.
-
Electronics and Crafting: Aids de-soldering, plastic forming, or drying materials in hobby or assembly work.
-
General Maintenance: Handles thawing frozen locks, melting plastics, or curing composites in diverse settings.
Note: For ultra-high-temperature tasks above 1100°F, consider the Eddy Mark IV EP-1100 Plus Model. For more demanding jobs, consider any of the Eddy Mark IV heat gun models.
Usage and Safety Guidelines
-
Operation: Adjust the temperature dial and select low/high speed via the switch. Maintain a 2-4 inch distance from the work surface; attach nozzles as needed for specific tasks.
-
Power Requirements: Connect to a grounded 115V outlet; use a 12-gauge extension cord for extended reaches to avoid voltage drop.
-
Safety Precautions: Wear protective gear (gloves, goggles) and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Avoid operation near flammables or in wet conditions. Allow cooling before storage or case packing.
-
Maintenance: Do not drop and handle the heat gun with care. This will extend the life of the VT-1100 Heat Gun.
-
Warning: To reduce fire or shock risk, do not immerse in water or expose to rain. Follow all local electrical codes.
