Frequently asked questions
What if I can't find an applicator for my purpose?
Then contact us by phone or email and give us more details. It may be that we have new models being developed that would be suitable or that we know of similar applications where a particular applicator has proved successful. We have a continuing program of product development and we are always interested in new applications for our trigger mechanisms. If we know your needs we may be able to design an applicator to meet them (there are minimum quantity restrictions for this).
What about spares or replacement parts?
All Cox applicators are built to withstand rugged use but parts do wear or get damaged. The simpler applicators are cheaper and easier to replace completely. For many of the more powerful/complex/expensive/sophisticated applicators spares can be obtained through our distributors. If you register on this website you will have access to all our technical drawings showing part names and numbers.
Why should I buy Cox when I can buy similar for half the price?
Because, economics being what they are, you will get half the quality - or less. All Cox guns are designed and manufactured to a very high standard to ensure long productive life.
The material comes out too slowly and my hand gets tired. What can I do?
Your trigger ratio may be too low for the viscosity of the material. You can use a more powerful manual applicator with a higher trigger ratio (for explanation, see our technical glossary), which will be less tiring and faster. Alternatively, you can purchase one of our battery-powered applicators. If you are working in an environment with access to compressed air, a pneumatic applicator might be more appropriate.
I have a great idea for a new use for your mechanism. What should I do?
We're always interested in new applications and it may be that we can help you or work together with you. But remember our trigger mechanism is patented worldwide. Please click here for contact form..
