Description
Flexible coupling DN 16 KF, 90 mm is a vacuum line connecting element for laboratory and technical systems built on the Klein flange (KF) standard. With nominal diameter DN 16 and a length of 90 mm, it links pumps, manifolds, traps and process chambers while allowing limited angular and lateral offset between rigid sections. The flexible geometry helps absorb vibration and small alignment differences, reducing mechanical stress on glassware, sensors and sealed joints during pump-down, operation and maintenance. Offered as one piece, the coupling fits modular KF vacuum plumbing typical of analytical laboratories, research benches and pilot-scale process setups. This accessory from manufacturer WELCH supports quick assembly and disassembly of DN 16 KF connections without permanent modification of the line. It is intended as laboratory equipment accessory or spare part where clean, repeatable vacuum joints and compact routing are required. The 90 mm length keeps installations compact yet compliant enough for flexible hose runs between fixed flanges. Use it wherever DN 16 KF interfaces must remain vacuum-tight under routine laboratory handling and reconfiguration.
This article is part of Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, in Tubing, hoses & fittings.

Questions about Flexible Coupling, DN 16 KF, 90mm
What is this article?
Flexible Coupling, DN 16 KF, 90mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes WELCH 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.
