Description
Thread adapter, Type 20 is a laboratory thread adapter produced from high-density polyethylene (PE-HD / HDPE) that joins a VIR female thread to an S90 male thread. The adapter enables practical coupling between components that use these two common laboratory and container thread standards, supporting flexible bottle, cap and transfer arrangements. HDPE offers good chemical resistance and mechanical toughness for everyday laboratory fluid handling, making the piece suitable for aqueous media, many solvents and general process connections where a lightweight polymer adapter is preferred. Type 20 from manufacturer SCAT is designed for straightforward installation in analytical, preparative and storage setups that require a reliable VIR-to-S90 conversion. Delivered as a single piece, it fits into existing laboratory container and tubing systems without complex tooling. Typical applications include temporary transfer lines, waste or supply bottle interfaces, and modular fluid paths in research, quality-control and production environments that depend on standardised polymer thread adapters for secure, chemically compatible joints.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 20
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 20 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SCAT 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.
