Description
Thread adapter Type 42 is a polypropylene laboratory fitting that converts an S60/61 female thread to an S51 male thread for secure bottle and container connections. Made from chemically resistant polypropylene (PP), it supports reliable fluid handling in analytical, preparative and waste-collection setups where different neck sizes must be joined without leakage. The female-to-male geometry allows direct coupling of S60/61 vessels or caps to S51-compatible tubing, safety caps or secondary containers commonly used in solvent management. This Type 42 adapter from manufacturer SCAT is supplied as a single piece and integrates readily into existing laboratory safety and solvent-waste systems. Its lightweight yet robust PP construction withstands typical laboratory chemicals and repeated assembly cycles while remaining easy to handle and clean. Suitable for HPLC waste lines, reagent transfer and general chemical routing, the adapter helps standardise connections across mixed glassware and plasticware inventories. Precise thread dimensions ensure a stable, leak-resistant seal when correctly tightened, supporting safe and organised laboratory workflows.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 42
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 42 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.
