Description
BOLA Straight-Through Olives Ø 4,5 mm PTFE are straight laboratory tubing connectors manufactured from polytetrafluoroethylene. Two olives allow elastic tubing such as Viton®, Tygon® or silicone to be joined in line, giving a continuous PTFE path between hose ends. Dimensions are an overall length of 45 mm, a through-bore of 2 mm and an olive outer diameter of 4,5 mm, matching common small-bore flexible lines used in laboratory fluid handling. The medium contacts only PTFE, so the fitting is universally chemically resistant and avoids introducing other construction materials into the stream. Supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,002 kg, the connector supports inert, leak-oriented hose junctions in analytical, preparative and general lab workflows. These straight-through olives from manufacturer Bohlender provide a simple axial link where flexible tubing must remain chemically isolated and mechanically secure at the olive profiles.

Questions about BOLA Tubing Connectors, Ø 4,5 mm PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Tubing Connectors, Ø 4,5 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.
