Description
Straight-through high-vacuum valve with PTFE spindle, bore 0 - 6 mm is an adjustable precision valve intended for reliable flow control in high-vacuum laboratory apparatus. Fabricated from borosilicate glass 3.3, the housing offers excellent resistance to chemicals and thermal shock, while the PTFE spindle guarantees smooth operation and inert sealing performance. The tube ends feature an outer diameter of 10 mm, enabling secure connection to standard glass vacuum lines. Supplied by manufacturer Rettberg, the valve permits continuous readjustment of the bore from fully closed to the maximum 6 mm opening, making it well suited for distillation trains, vacuum manifolds and sample-transfer systems. Net weight is 0,063 kg, keeping the unit lightweight yet robust for everyday laboratory use. When fully open the straight-through geometry provides an unobstructed flow path with minimal restriction. The combination of borosilicate glass 3.3 and PTFE ensures long service life under vacuum conditions typical of research and analytical environments.

Questions about High vacuum valve, straight, PTFE-spindle, passage 0 - 6 mm,
What is this article?
High vacuum valve, straight, PTFE-spindle, passage 0 - 6 mm, is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Rettberg for laboratory use. It sits in Stopcocks & valves, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A stopcock opens and closes a line, or directs it between ports. Glass stopcocks have a ground plug that needs grease or a PTFE key. The bore decides the flow. A two-way and a three-way key are different parts.
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.
