Description
Thread adapter Type 5 provides a reliable connection from GL25 female thread to NPT 1/8'' female thread for laboratory fluid-handling systems. The core is made of high-density polyethylene (PE-HD) and is electrically conductive, while the screw cap is manufactured from PPS. This compact adapter from manufacturer SCAT enables safe solvent and media transfer in analytical, chromatography and process setups where electrostatic discharge must be controlled. The dissipative PE-HD core helps minimise static build-up during liquid handling, supporting safer operation with flammable or sensitive solvents. Supplied as a single piece, the Type 5 adapter offers a chemically resistant interface between common GL laboratory glassware threads and imperial NPT fittings. It is suited for sample preparation, solvent delivery lines and general laboratory installations requiring a durable, electrically conductive thread conversion. The combination of PE-HD core and PPS cap ensures mechanical stability and chemical compatibility for routine laboratory use.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 5
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 5 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.
Which category should I open next?
