Description
[table id=591 /]
The MEDILAB Adapter Cone with Stem to Rubber Tubing is a precision-made right-angle connector designed for secure attachment between standard ground-glass joints and flexible rubber hoses. This adapter enables smooth transfer of gases or liquids between glass apparatus and external tubing, making it essential in distillation setups, vacuum systems, and fluid handling lines. Its robust construction ensures accurate, leak-free operation in demanding laboratory and industrial environments.
Key Features
- Right-angle outlet design for efficient hose connection and minimal workspace obstruction.
- Precision-ground cone joint ensures tight, leak-proof compatibility with standard glassware.
- Sturdy stem nozzle accommodates rubber tubing securely for stable fluid or gas flow.
- Made from high-quality Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for excellent chemical and thermal resistance.
- High transparency allows clear visibility of media movement.
- Smooth internal surface minimises flow resistance and contamination risks.
- Autoclavable and reusable, ensuring a long operational life.
- Engineered for vacuum and low-pressure applications with reliable performance.
