Description
Thread adapter, Type 52 is a laboratory thread conversion fitting that connects an S55 female thread to a GL45 male thread. Produced from polypropylene (PP), the adapter offers good chemical resistance for many common laboratory solvents and aqueous media used in analytical workflows. The female S55 side engages matching bottle or vessel necks, while the male GL45 side accepts standard GL45 closures, caps or transfer fittings, enabling straightforward coupling between differently threaded containers. Polypropylene construction provides a lightweight yet durable interface that maintains reliable sealing during routine solvent handling and fluid transfer. Supplied as a single-piece unit from manufacturer SCAT, this Type 52 adapter helps laboratories standardise bottle connections in HPLC solvent supply and general laboratory fluid systems. Its practical design simplifies installation and supports flexible container configurations without compromising mechanical stability. Laboratories seeking a dependable PP solution for adapting S55 to GL45 thread systems will find this fitting a useful accessory for everyday solvent-management tasks.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 52
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 52 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.
