Product description
Melkib 14G dispensing needle – wide 1.6 mm bore for high-viscosity materials
The Melkib 14G dispensing needle combines a 1.6 mm internal flow diameter with a long, 38.1 mm (1.5") metal tube. This configuration is intended for applications where unrestricted material flow is more important than creating an extremely fine dispensing point.
The 14G size is particularly useful when working with thicker adhesives, sealants, pastes and other media that may be difficult to push through narrow dispensing tips. Its long metal section also allows material to be delivered deeper into joints, openings and recessed areas.
Why choose a 14G needle?
A wider dispensing channel reduces the restriction placed on the material during application. This makes the 14G variant a useful option for processes where the medium has a higher viscosity or where a larger amount of material needs to be applied efficiently.
The 1.6 mm diameter also enables the formation of a wider bead than smaller-gauge needles, making this variant suitable for filling and dispensing tasks rather than ultra-fine microdosing.
Typical applications
- dispensing viscous adhesives and sealants,
- application of pastes and thicker technical compounds,
- filling joints, gaps and small cavities,
- forming a controlled, wider bead of material,
- delivering material into recessed or difficult-to-reach locations,
- manual and workshop dispensing processes requiring a large flow opening.
Construction and identification
The dispensing section is made of metal and has a length of 38.1 mm (3.81 cm / 1.5"). The extended tube helps position the outlet close to the actual application point, including inside deeper openings and recesses.
The olive-coloured hub provides a convenient visual reference for identifying the 14G variant during work and when organising dispensing accessories.

Choosing the right dispensing size
The 14G version is designed for applications that benefit from a relatively large 1.6 mm flow opening. When dispensing thick materials, the wider channel can provide easier material passage than smaller-gauge variants. For applications requiring a very narrow bead or highly precise microdosing, a smaller-diameter needle should be considered instead.
Storage and handling
Keep the needles clean and protected against contamination, moisture and mechanical damage. Before use, make sure that the selected diameter is suitable for the properties of the material being dispensed.
Safety
This is a technical dispensing accessory for applying materials. It is not intended for injections or medical use. Always follow the handling and safety requirements specified for the adhesive, sealant, paste or other material being dispensed.
FAQ
Why is the 14G needle suitable for thicker materials?
Its 1.6 mm flow diameter provides a relatively wide passage, reducing flow restriction compared with smaller-diameter dispensing needles.
Can the needle be used to fill gaps and cavities?
Yes. The combination of a wide opening and 38.1 mm metal tube makes it useful for introducing material into joints, openings and recessed areas.
Is 14G intended for very fine dispensing?
No. This variant prioritises material flow and a wider application path. A smaller-diameter needle is generally more appropriate when a very fine dispensing point is required.
How long is the metal section?
The metal tube is 38.1 mm long, equivalent to 3.81 cm or 1.5 inches.
What colour is the 14G variant?
This variant has an olive-coloured hub for easier visual identification.
How many needles are supplied?
The package contains 10 dispensing needles.
