Description
Thread adapter, Type 17 is a polypropylene (PP) laboratory fitting that converts a GL 45 male thread to a 2'' Tri-Sure male thread. This male-to-male connector allows secure coupling between standard GL 45 laboratory bottle necks and Tri-Sure drum or container closures commonly used in solvent handling and bulk chemical transfer. Constructed from chemically resistant polypropylene, the adapter withstands contact with many routine laboratory solvents and reagents while remaining lightweight and simple to install. The Type 17 design from manufacturer SCAT is intended for solvent supply systems, waste collection lines and modular fluid-handling assemblies where GL 45 and Tri-Sure standards must be joined reliably. Its durable PP body supports repeated use in research and analytical environments without special tools. Supplied as a single piece, the adapter integrates directly into existing laboratory bottle and drum setups, providing a practical and robust solution for thread conversion in chemical and life-science laboratories.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 17
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 17 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.
