Description
BOLA straight-through olives Ø 6,8 mm PTFE are linear PTFE connectors for joining elastic laboratory tubing in a straight line. Each unit is produced entirely from polytetrafluoroethylene and carries two olives that accept flexible hoses such as Viton®, Tygon® or silicone. The medium contacts only PTFE, giving universal chemical resistance and making the fitting suitable for corrosive, high-purity or solvent-based applications.
This article is part of Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, in Tubing, hoses & fittings.
Specified dimensions are an overall length of 53 mm, a through-bore of 3 mm and an olive outer diameter of 6,8 mm, providing a slender, elongated bridge between hose ends. Net weight is 0,004 kg, so the connector does not burden delicate tubing assemblies. Offered as a single piece from manufacturer Bohlender, this BOLA straight-through olive is well suited to building inert transfer lines, bypass loops and sample paths where a continuous fluoropolymer surface is required. The straight geometry keeps flow direction simple while the pure-PTFE construction avoids metallic contamination and supports broad chemical compatibility in everyday laboratory use.

Questions about BOLA Tubing Connectors, Ø 6,8 mm PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Tubing Connectors, Ø 6,8 mm PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender 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.
