Description
BOLA straight olives (without nut) are polypropylene (PP) hose connectors intended for laboratory GL thread systems. Each olive is specified with thread GL 18, an outer diameter of 10,8 mm, an inner diameter of 7,0 mm and a length without nut of 40 mm. The components incorporate an elastic sealing lip together with an FKM O-ring, ensuring that the flow medium comes into contact only with polypropylene. They are conditionally chemically resistant and suitable for working temperatures up to a maximum of +110 °C. Offered in the straight design from manufacturer Bohlender, these olives support reliable tubing connections on compatible laboratory glassware and apparatus. Supplied in a pack of 5 pieces with a net weight of 0,002 kg, they provide a compact solution for assembling fluid lines where a GL 18 interface is required without the accompanying nut. The straight configuration facilitates inline hose attachment, while the sealing lip and O-ring help seat the olive securely for routine laboratory fluid-handling applications.

Questions about BOLA Hose Connectors (without Nut), GL 18 Ø 10,8 mm POLYPROPYLENE (PP) type: str
What is this article?
BOLA Hose Connectors (without Nut), GL 18 Ø 10,8 mm POLYPROPYLENE (PP) type: str is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender 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.
