Description
Nalgene™ T-type tubing connectors are non-tapered T-piece fittings moulded from polypropylene resin to help maximise liquid flow in branched laboratory tubing runs. Free from animal-derived components, they suit workflows that specify animal-component-free wetted plastics. Each connector provides three connection points for tubing with 3/16 in. inner diameter, matching a largest tubing inner diameter of 4,8 mm, with an outer diameter of 3/16 in. and an overall length of 30,734 mm (1.21 in.). The straight, non-conical geometry supports consistent cross-section at the junctions, which is useful when splitting or combining streams of buffers, media or process liquids. The polypropylene construction is autoclavable, allowing thermal sterilisation where lab protocols require reusable plastic fittings. Packed as a case of 72 connectors, the unit size supports stocking for multi-station benches and frequent line rebuilds. These T-type tubing connectors are supplied from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics under the Nalgene™ range. Gross weight is 0,590 kg and packaging volume is 0,001 m³ per case, keeping inventory compact beside tubing stores.

Questions about Nalgene™ Tubing T-Type Connectors
What is this article?
Nalgene™ Tubing T-Type Connectors is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics 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.
