The MEDILAB Adapter Socket to Rubber Tubing is a straight glass connector designed to link standard ground-glass socket joints with flexible rubber hose lines. It enables smooth transfer of gases or liquids from glass apparatus to external tubing, making it essential for distillation systems, vacuum setups, condensers, and general fluid-handling operations. Its efficient straight-through design ensures a secure, leak-free connection while maintaining clarity and chemical integrity in laboratory and industrial environments.
Key Features
- Straight-line flow design for efficient gas or liquid transfer.
- Precision ground socket joint ensures a tight, leak-proof seal with standard glassware.
- Sturdy stem outlet designed for compatibility with common laboratory rubber tubing.
- High-strength Borosilicate Glass 3.3 provides exceptional thermal and chemical durability.
- Crystal-clear transparency for easy visual monitoring of flow.
- Smooth inner bore minimises turbulence and contamination risk.
- Suitable for vacuum, low-pressure, and general laboratory applications.
- Autoclavable, reusable, and resistant to repeated heating cycles.
- Manufactured with precision tolerances for reliable, long-term use.
