Description
Conical connector, 4 - 8 mm / 12 - 16 mm is a laboratory fitting for the secure connection of hoses of different sizes. It joins tubing in the 4–8 mm range with tubing in the 12–16 mm range directly and without technical aids. Made of polypropylene (PP), the connector is intended for the safe collection of liquid HPLC waste and for many other applications in the laboratory. This conical model belongs to the SCAT connector family, which also includes capillary connectors, hose connectors and Y-connectors; the variants differ essentially in form, the number of connections for hoses and capillaries, and the diameters they accept. Supplied as one piece, it addresses everyday situations in which flexible tubing of two distinct size ranges must be linked for waste lines or fluid paths. The tapered geometry supports a straightforward push-together interface between the smaller and larger hose ends. Chromatography and general laboratory users employ such connectors when assembling multi-diameter tubing systems for HPLC effluent collection and related liquid-handling tasks. Polypropylene construction corresponds to the stated material for this conical laboratory connector.

Questions about Conical connector, 4 - 8 mm / 12 - 16 mm
What is this article?
Conical connector, 4 - 8 mm / 12 - 16 mm 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.
