Description
Bent plastic olive with silicone seal (VMQ) made from polypropylene (PP) is a laboratory hose connector used to attach tubing to apparatus, for example when linking a vacuum pump to a glassware setup. The curved form allows convenient hose routing while the integrated silicone seal (VMQ) provides a reliable, tight fit at the connection point. This olive is designed to match GL 14 screw connection closures, enabling secure coupling of flexible tubing in laboratory systems. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer Duran/DWK Life Sciences, the lightweight fitting has a net weight of 0,002 kg and suits routine vacuum-line or fluid-transfer work. Polypropylene construction combined with the VMQ gasket offers practical chemical resistance for standard laboratory environments. Technicians employ the bent olive wherever a durable plastic hose adapter is required on GL 14 threaded ports, eliminating the need for separate sealing elements and simplifying apparatus assembly in research and analytical laboratories.

Questions about Plastic Hose Connection, bent, with silicone seal (VMQ), from PP
What is this article?
Plastic Hose Connection, bent, with silicone seal (VMQ), from PP is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences 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.
