Description
BOLA cross olives are cross-shaped PTFE connectors with four olives for branching elastic laboratory tubing. Each olive has an outer diameter of 11,0 mm, the through-bore is 6 mm and the overall length is 28,5 mm, giving a compact four-way junction for flexible lines. Tubing such as Viton®, Tygon® or silicone can be pushed onto the olives; the medium contacts only PTFE, so the fitting remains chemically inert across a wide range of laboratory chemicals. The cruciform geometry supports simple manifold, distribution or sampling layouts without metal or elastomer wetted parts. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,02 kg, this cross connector from manufacturer Bohlender suits analytical, preparative and general laboratory fluid handling where four elastic hoses must meet at one point. Typical uses include reagent distribution, waste collection branches and temporary multi-line setups that benefit from an all-PTFE flow path and straightforward push-on connections.

Questions about BOLA Tubing Connectors Cross, Ø 11 mm PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Tubing Connectors Cross, Ø 11 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.
