Description
Tee, stainless steel, DN 16 KF is a vacuum-line fitting accessory designed for laboratory apparatus that uses the KF (small flange) connection standard at nominal diameter DN 16. The three-way tee geometry allows branching or combining of vacuum paths in pump lines, manifolds and instrument interfaces where stainless steel construction is specified for mechanical robustness and compatibility with typical laboratory vacuum service. As a component in the accessories and spare-parts category for laboratory equipment, it supports assembly, modification or replacement of KF DN 16 segments without changing the flange standard. The part is offered from manufacturer WELCH as a single-piece unit for integration into existing vacuum setups. KF DN 16 interfaces are widely used on rotary evaporators, vacuum pumps, freeze-dryers and bench-scale process lines, so a stainless steel tee of this size fits common modular vacuum hardware. No chemical reagent data apply; selection should follow the host system’s flange, seal and pressure requirements. Suitable for laboratories and workshops maintaining stainless KF vacuum plumbing that need a DN 16 tee for layout flexibility or spare-part stock.

Questions about Tee, Stainless Steel, DN 16 KF
What is this article?
Tee, Stainless Steel, DN 16 KF 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.
