Description
Thread adapter Type 72 is a polypropylene (PP) laboratory fitting that converts a GL32 female thread to a GL45 male thread. It enables reliable connections between bottles, vessels and fluid-handling components that employ different GL thread standards, a frequent need in chemical, pharmaceutical and analytical laboratories. Manufactured from polypropylene, the adapter combines mechanical strength with good chemical resistance to many aqueous solutions, alcohols and common laboratory solvents. Its GL32 (female) to GL45 (male) configuration lets GL32 closures or tubing adapters couple securely to GL45 bottle necks or receivers, facilitating modular solvent-supply lines, waste-collection systems and general liquid-transfer arrangements. The Type 72 unit from manufacturer SCAT is supplied as a single compact piece, simplifying installation in confined fume-hood or bench-top setups while helping to maintain leak-resistant joints. Laboratories that rely on standardised GL-threaded glassware and plasticware can use this connector to bridge equipment incompatibilities without custom parts. Offered as one piece per pack, the adapter supports efficient inventory control and routine replacement in research, quality-control and process laboratory workflows.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 72
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 72 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.
