Description
T-piece with GL 14 thread is a laboratory glassware adapter made from borosilicate glass 3.3 for branching fluid or gas lines in chemical apparatus. The T-shaped connector provides three GL 14 screw-thread ports, allowing secure, reusable coupling to matching GL fittings, caps and tubing without ground joints. Borosilicate glass 3.3 offers the chemical resistance and thermal stability required for routine organic synthesis, distillation and general laboratory transfer work. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,017 kg, this compact adapter integrates easily into modular glass systems and screw-coupling assemblies. Manufactured by Rettberg, it belongs to the family of transition pieces and screw couplings used wherever GL-threaded connections are preferred over conical joints. The robust glass construction withstands common laboratory solvents and moderate temperature changes while remaining easy to clean and inspect. Ideal for building flexible reaction and transfer lines, the T-piece supports clear, leak-resistant configurations in research and teaching laboratories that rely on standardised GL thread components.

Questions about T-connector, with thread GL 14
What is this article?
T-connector, with thread GL 14 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.
Which category should I open next?
