Description
Adapter, socket NS 29/32 to cone NS 24/29 is a ground-joint reducing piece for joining laboratory glassware of unequal standard taper sizes. Produced from borosilicate glass 3.3, it combines a female NS 29/32 socket with a male NS 24/29 cone so that larger and smaller jointed components can form one continuous assembly. Typical use includes distillation setups, reaction trains and general laboratory apparatus where a reliable transition between NS 29/32 and NS 24/29 is needed. This single-piece adapter from manufacturer Rettberg weighs 0,039 kg net and offers the chemical resistance and low thermal expansion associated with borosilicate glass 3.3. Ground joint surfaces are intended to seat firmly with compatible cones and sockets, supporting both atmospheric and vacuum applications. As a compact reducing adapter it streamlines modular glassware design, reduces the need for intermediate fittings and helps maintain standardised joint geometry throughout multi-component laboratory systems built around common NS sizes.

Questions about Adapter, socket size 29/32 to cone size 24/29
What is this article?
Adapter, socket size 29/32 to cone size 24/29 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Rettberg 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.
