Description
Reducer in aluminium, DN 40/16 KF, is a vacuum-line fitting that steps a KF DN 40 flange connection down to KF DN 16. The compact adapter maintains ISO-KF geometry on both ends so standard clamps, centering rings, and seals can be used without custom machining. Aluminium construction keeps the component light while remaining suitable for typical laboratory and instrument vacuum manifolds, pump inlets, and process interfaces where KF hardware is specified. This reducer from manufacturer WELCH belongs to laboratory equipment accessories and spare parts, supporting flexible layout of roughing and high-vacuum assemblies. It is supplied as a single piece for straightforward replacement or system expansion. Use it wherever a reliable DN 40 to DN 16 KF transition is required on aluminium-compatible vacuum setups in research, analytical, or technical laboratories.
This article is part of Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, in Tubing, hoses & fittings.

Questions about Reducer, Aluminium, DN 40/16 KF
What is this article?
Reducer, Aluminium, DN 40/16 KF is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes WELCH 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.
