Description

The Adapter Recovery Bend with Sloping End is a precision-engineered connector designed to direct condensate or recovered solvents efficiently during distillation and extraction processes. Its sloped outlet provides controlled flow, minimises product loss, and ensures compatibility with a wide range of laboratory glass systems. Ideal for both research and industrial environments, it enhances workflow efficiency and operational safety.

Key Features

• Manufactured from high-purity Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for superior chemical and thermal resistance.
• Sloping-end design enables smooth, gravity-assisted recovery of solvents and distillates.
• Standard ground taper joints ensure secure, leak-free, and universal compatibility.
• Excellent durability due to uniform wall thickness and robust glass construction.
• Clear transparency for easy observation of liquid movement.
• Resistant to corrosion, thermal stress, and repeated heating/cooling cycles.
• Suitable for modular glassware setups across diverse applications.

Material Specifications

Material: Borosilicate Glass 3.3 (ISO 3585 compliant)

• Dimensions: Precision-crafted for accurate alignment with standard glass assemblies.
• Tolerance: Tight manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent and leak-proof connections.
• Calibration: Not applicable (non-volumetric).
• Accessories Included: None (compatible with all standard glassware systems).

Handling & Precautions

• Handle with care to avoid impact on joints and bend areas.
• Avoid rapid temperature changes; allow glass to heat or cool gradually.
• Suitable for autoclaving; dry heat resistance typically up to 500°C.
• Clean using non-abrasive laboratory detergents; rinse thoroughly with distilled water.
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive media that may scratch the glass surface.
• Always check for cracks or chipping before use.
• Store in padded racks or upright to protect ground joints.
