Description
Y-connector, 5 mm is a polypropylene laboratory hose fitting for the secure joining of tubing of matching diameter directly and without technical aids. This Y-shaped connector creates a three-way junction, allowing fluid lines to be branched reliably in analytical and preparative setups. It is intended for the safe collection of liquid HPLC waste as well as many other laboratory fluid-handling applications where dependable hose connections are required. The 5 mm size matches common laboratory tubing used in chromatography systems and general lab transfer lines. SCAT Y-connectors form part of a wider connector range that also includes capillary connectors, conical connectors and straight hose connectors; the variants differ mainly in shape, number of ports and available diameters. Made of polypropylene (PP), the fitting supports quick assembly of waste and transfer tubing without clamps or adapters. Supplied as a single piece, it integrates readily into HPLC waste collection lines, solvent routing and routine laboratory tubing networks that need a simple, secure Y-branch.

Questions about Y-connector, 5 mm
What is this article?
Y-connector, 5 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.
