Description
Plastic olive, straight, with silicone seal (VMQ), PP is a laboratory connector designed for hose attachment of equipment such as a vacuum pump to glass apparatus. The straight olive is produced from polypropylene and fitted with a silicone (VMQ) gasket for GL 18 threads, providing a direct, in-line connection path. Its linear geometry suits straightforward tubing runs while the elastic seal promotes a secure, leak-resistant joint during vacuum or gas-transfer work. Delivered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,003 kg, the component remains light and easy to handle in daily laboratory practice. This accessory from manufacturer Duran/DWK Life Sciences pairs the chemical resistance of PP with the sealing performance of VMQ silicone, making it appropriate for filtration, distillation, rotary evaporation and general apparatus assembly. The straight design minimises dead volume and simplifies alignment of flexible tubing with glass joints. Suitable for research, educational and industrial laboratories needing reliable plastic olives for fluid or vacuum lines.

Questions about Plastic Hose Connection, bent, with silicone seal (VMQ), from PP
What is this article?
Plastic Hose Connection, bent, with silicone seal (VMQ), from PP is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences 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.
