MEDILAB Unequal Straight Connectors (Tapered), PP are precision-moulded adapters designed to connect tubing of different inner diameters in a secure, leak-resistant configuration. Featuring a tapered dual-end profile, these connectors ensure smooth fluid transfer between incompatible tubing sizes—an essential requirement in laboratory setups, process lines, and controlled fluid pathways. Their reliability, chemical resistance, and ease of use make them indispensable in research, pharmaceutical, and industrial environments.
