Menda 18 Gauge Stainless Steel Replacement Flux Needles, 1" – 50 Pack – 35569
Keep your flux dispenser ready for precision electronics work with these 18-gauge stainless steel replacement needles from Menda. Designed for use with Menda durAstatic flux dispensing systems, these blunt-tip needles provide controlled application of compatible liquid flux, cleaning solutions, and other suitable dispensing fluids.
Each needle features a 1-inch stainless steel tip with an 18-gauge opening. Compared with finer needles such as 26 gauge, the larger opening allows easier dispensing of liquids that require greater flow. This makes these replacement tips a practical choice for soldering, printed circuit board assembly, electronics repair, and other applications where accurate liquid placement is important.
The blunt-tip design is intended for dispensing liquids onto work surfaces rather than piercing materials. Durable stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance when used with compatible fluids.
Over time, dispensing needles can become clogged with dried flux or damaged during routine use. Keeping replacement tips available makes it easy to maintain consistent dispensing performance without replacing the entire bottle assembly.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 50, these non-sterile replacement needles are ideal for electronics production facilities, soldering workstations, repair shops, and technical maintenance departments.
These are replacement needle tips only. The dispensing bottle, cap, and liquid flux are not included.

Maintaining Menda durAstatic dispensing systems
18-Gauge Needle for Controlled Liquid Flow
The 18-gauge needle provides a larger dispensing opening than finer 20- and 26-gauge options.
This allows compatible liquids to flow more easily, making it useful when a fine needle would restrict dispensing.
The 1-inch length provides convenient reach for applying liquid to solder joints, terminals, component leads, and other work areas.
An 18-gauge needle is a practical choice when greater flow is more important than the smallest possible dispensing opening.
Durable Stainless Steel Blunt Tip
Each replacement needle features a stainless steel blunt tip designed for industrial liquid dispensing.
Stainless steel provides strength and corrosion resistance when used with compatible flux formulations and other dispensing fluids.
The blunt tip allows liquid to be applied directly to work surfaces without the sharp point associated with medical injection needles.
These non-sterile tips are intended for technical dispensing applications only.
Designed for Menda durAstatic Flux Dispensers
These replacement needles are designed for use with Menda durAstatic flux dispensing systems.
They allow technicians to replace a needle that has become clogged, damaged, or unsuitable for the liquid being used.
A compatible dispenser can remain in service while the needle tip is changed, reducing the need to replace the entire dispensing assembly.
For proper fit and operation, use the replacement tips with a compatible Menda needle connection.
Convenient 50-Pack
The package contains 50 replacement needles, providing a ready supply for busy workstations.
Having replacement tips available helps minimize interruptions caused by clogged or damaged needles.
The pack is useful for electronics production, repair departments, soldering stations, and technical maintenance facilities where flux dispensing is part of everyday work.
Choosing the Right Needle Gauge
Menda offers several replacement needle sizes for different dispensing requirements.
-
16 Gauge: Larger opening for greater liquid flow.
-
18 Gauge: A versatile option for controlled dispensing with relatively unrestricted flow.
-
20 Gauge: Smaller opening for finer liquid application.
-
26 Gauge: Fine opening for detailed dispensing of lower-viscosity liquids.
Needle selection depends on the liquid's viscosity, the desired dispensing rate, and the precision required.
Maintenance and Safe Use
Keep dispensing needles free from dried flux and other residue to maintain consistent liquid flow.
Replace needles that become clogged, bent, or damaged.
Always verify that the liquid is compatible with the stainless steel needle and the complete dispensing assembly.
These needles are supplied non-sterile and are intended for industrial dispensing, not medical injection.
The package includes replacement needles only.
