Description
The 3-way stopcock Czako with threaded stopcock retainer NS 18,8 is a precision laboratory glassware component for controlled fluid routing in chemical and analytical apparatus. It features a standard ground joint of NS 18,8 together with an NS-PTFE plug that delivers reliable sealing and smooth rotation. Bent tube connections measuring 10 × 110 mm and a 4 mm bore provide practical flow paths while the design conforms to DIN 12563. The integrated threaded stopcock retainer locks the plug securely in position, helping prevent accidental displacement under vacuum or slight over-pressure. Offered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,076 kg, the stopcock integrates readily into custom glass manifolds, distillation trains and multi-line setups. Produced by Witeg, this Czako-type three-way valve combines dimensional accuracy with the chemical resistance of a PTFE plug, making it suitable for a broad range of solvents and reagents encountered in research and quality-control laboratories. Its compact form and standardised joints support straightforward assembly and interchangeability within existing glassware systems.
This article is part of Stopcocks & valves, in Tubing, hoses & fittings.

Questions about Stopcock, Czako, three-way, ST 18,8
What is this article?
Stopcock, Czako, three-way, ST 18,8 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg 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.
