Description
DURAN® straight stopcock with taper 1:5 and PTFE key, complete, is a precision laboratory glass component engineered for reliable, grease-free flow control. This unit features a 4 mm bore and NS 18,2 joint size, fabricated from durable borosilicate glass 3.3. The polished PTFE key surface permits clean operation without lubricants, while the three-part retainer securely holds the key within the barrel. Its steeper 1:5 taper angle effectively prevents jamming during use. Particularly well suited to vacuum applications and integration into custom glass apparatus, the stopcock supports further processing and assembly in laboratory setups. Offered as a complete single-piece unit with a net weight of 0,055 kg from manufacturer Duran/DWK Life Sciences, it delivers consistent performance where contamination-free sealing and dependable shut-off are required. Ideal for constructing or modifying glassware systems in research, analytical and process environments that demand robust, reusable stopcocks under both atmospheric and reduced-pressure conditions.

Questions about DURAN® Single Way Stopcock, Taper 1:5, with PTFE key, complete
What is this article?
DURAN® Single Way Stopcock, Taper 1:5, with PTFE key, complete is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences for laboratory use. It sits in Stopcocks & valves, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A stopcock opens and closes a line, or directs it between ports. Glass stopcocks have a ground plug that needs grease or a PTFE key. The bore decides the flow. A two-way and a three-way key are different parts.
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.
