Description
BOLA reducers A= Ø 10 mm B= Ø 6 mm PTFE with PTFE-glass fibre nuts are straight connecting fittings for joining hoses or tubes that have different outer diameters. The body is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), so the conveyed medium contacts only PTFE and benefits from the material’s broad chemical resistance in laboratory and process fluid lines. Side A carries an M 18 x 2 fitting thread for 10 mm outer-diameter tubing and a 6 mm bore; side B uses an M 14 x 2 thread for 6 mm outer-diameter tubing. Glass-fibre-reinforced PTFE nuts provide secure clamping without introducing additional wetted materials. Offered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,03 kg, this compact reducer from manufacturer Bohlender supports clean transitions between unequal tubing sizes while keeping dead volume low. Typical uses include analytical sample transfer, reagent dosing and general laboratory fluid handling where corrosion resistance and media purity are required. The straight geometry simplifies installation in confined apparatus and helps maintain reliable flow paths under chemically demanding conditions.

Questions about BOLA Reducing Unions, A= Ø 10mm B= Ø 6mm PTFE, glass-fibre reinforced PTFE nut
What is this article?
BOLA Reducing Unions, A= Ø 10mm B= Ø 6mm PTFE, glass-fibre reinforced PTFE nut 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.
