MEDILAB Receiver Adapters (Plain Bend) are precision-engineered borosilicate glass connectors used to safely guide condensate or distillate between apparatus setups. Designed for smooth directional flow without turbulence, these adapters help optimize distillation, solvent recovery, and analytical workflows. Their robust build and accurate ground joints ensure secure, leak-free connections in demanding laboratory and industrial environments.
Key Features
- Manufactured from high-purity Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for superior thermal and chemical stability.
- Smooth plain-bend geometry for efficient transfer of liquids and vapours.
- Precisely machined standard taper ground joints for leak-tight assembly.
- High resistance to thermal shock, mechanical stress, and aggressive chemicals.
- Uniform wall thickness ensures durability and long service life.
- Crystal-clear transparency allows easy visual inspection of the flow.
- Available in multiple joint sizes to support diverse laboratory setups.
- Ideal for distillation systems, extraction lines, and modular glass assemblies.
