Description
BOLA replacement olive rings Ø 8 mm PTFE are two-part spare sets made for laboratory tubing fittings that use a compression olive arrangement. Each set comprises one clamping ring and one olive ring in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), giving an inert, chemically resistant contact surface for hose connections. The rings are dimensioned for hose outer diameter 8 mm and fit threads M 18 x 2, so worn or damaged olives can be exchanged without replacing the entire fitting body. PTFE construction supports use with aggressive media and high-purity fluid paths typical of analytical and process laboratory work. These components come from manufacturer Bohlender within the BOLA range and suit routine maintenance of PTFE-compatible connectors. Net weight is 0,001 kg. Packs of 10 pieces provide a practical stock quantity for labs that standardise on 8 mm outer-diameter tubing. Replacing only the olive and clamp pair restores a secure seal, reduces downtime, and keeps compression fittings serviceable across repeated assembly cycles in everyday laboratory fluid handling.

Questions about BOLA Spare V-Rings, Two-Part, Ø 8 mm PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Spare V-Rings, Two-Part, Ø 8 mm PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender for laboratory use. It sits in Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A hose connector or adapter joins two lines, or steps one bore down to another. The barb diameter has to match the tube, and the thread has to match the stopcock or the bottle. Most leaks are a mismatch here, not a hole in the tube.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
