Description
Thread adapter Type 40 is a laboratory thread adapter that converts an S50 female thread to an S55 male thread. Built in polypropylene (PP), it provides a compact mechanical interface for connecting vessels, caps and tubing systems that use different bottle-thread standards. The adapter supports secure, leak-conscious joins in solvent handling, sample preparation and general fluid-transfer setups where S50 and S55 components must be combined. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer SCAT, Type 40 is intended for routine laboratory use and fits into modular safety and waste systems that rely on standardised screw threads. Its straightforward female-to-male geometry simplifies assembly without extra fittings, helping maintain clean, organised bench or cabinet installations. Choose this adapter when you need a defined S50 (female) to S55 (male) transition in polypropylene for chemical and analytical workflows.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 40
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 40 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.
