Description
Plastic olive GL 18, bent, is a hose connector olive with a diameter of 10,8 mm for laboratory tubing systems. The bent geometry facilitates directional hose routing on GL 18 threaded ports and helps reduce mechanical stress on flexible tubing in glassware and apparatus assemblies. With a net weight of 0,003 kg and supplied as one piece, this plastic olive belongs to the hose olive product category. Manufactured in Germany by Rettberg, it provides a straightforward push-on connection for standard laboratory hoses used with cooling water, vacuum or gas lines. The GL 18 thread ensures compatibility with common laboratory bottles, flasks and adapters fitted with matching threads. Laboratories select bent olives where space constraints or preferred hose direction make a straight olive impractical, enabling cleaner layouts on crowded benches or apparatus frames. Durable plastic construction supports everyday handling in research, teaching and process environments that rely on modular GL-threaded connections for reliable fluid and gas transfer.

Questions about Hose connection, PP, GL 18, curved
What is this article?
Hose connection, PP, GL 18, curved is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Rettberg 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.
