Description
Y-connector, 3 mm provides a secure join for tubing of matching size, directly and without additional tools. It is intended for safe collection of liquid HPLC waste and many other laboratory fluid-handling tasks. Manufactured from polypropylene (PP), this Y-shaped fitting offers three connection points for flexible tubing arrangements in compact laboratory setups. The 3 mm size supports reliable branching of solvent or waste lines where the chemical resistance of polypropylene is sufficient. From manufacturer SCAT, the connector belongs to a range that also includes capillary connectors, conical connectors and hose connectors; these differ mainly in form, number of ports and diameters so that the right piece can be selected for each application. Supplied as one piece, the Y-connector is a practical accessory for HPLC waste systems and general lab fluid routing. It enables quick, tool-free assembly of collection lines and helps organise solvent pathways in chromatography and related laboratory workflows that require simple, chemically resistant branching fittings.

Questions about Y-connector, 3 mm
What is this article?
Y-connector, 3 mm 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.
