Description
BOLA Thread Adapter GL, GL 14 / GL 18 Ø 8,5 mm PTFE, 2 x external thread is a straight thread transition piece for laboratory connection systems. Made entirely of PTFE, it carries two external GL threads so that differently sized GL fittings can be joined in a straight line. The process medium contacts only PTFE, giving the adapter universal chemical resistance for typical laboratory reagents and solvents. Dimensions convert an external GL 14 thread to an external GL 18 thread, with a stated diameter of 8,5 mm. Supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,01 kg, this compact adapter from manufacturer Bohlender suits glassware, tubing and apparatus assemblies that rely on GL screw connections. The straight geometry simplifies installation in confined setups such as distillation lines, synthesis manifolds and general fluid-handling configurations. Because the wetted surface is exclusively PTFE, the component supports clean, inert transitions wherever broad chemical compatibility is required in day-to-day laboratory material work. It is intended for analytical and preparative environments that need reliable polymer thread adapters without introducing secondary materials into the flow path.

Questions about BOLA Thread Adaptor GL, GL 14 / GL 18 Ø 8,5 mm PTFE, 2 x Male thread
What is this article?
BOLA Thread Adaptor GL, GL 14 / GL 18 Ø 8,5 mm PTFE, 2 x Male thread 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.
