Description
Thread adapter, Type 4 is a polypropylene (PP) laboratory fitting that converts a 3'' Schütz coarse female thread to an S60 male thread. Finished in natural colour and fitted with a PE foam sealing ring, this adapter provides a dependable transition between Schütz container threads and S60 interfaces used in laboratory fluid systems. The female-to-male configuration supports direct coupling of drums, canisters and transfer components, while the PE foam gasket aids sealing at the joint. Polypropylene offers chemical resistance appropriate for many common laboratory solvents and reagents. Type 4 addresses a defined thread combination frequently required in solvent supply and waste-handling installations. Available as a single piece from manufacturer SCAT, the adapter helps laboratories standardise connections without custom parts. It is suited to analytical, preparative and process-support environments where reliable PP thread conversion with an integrated foam seal is needed. This component belongs to the thread-adapter range used for everyday container and system interfacing in chemical and life-science laboratories.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 4
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 4 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SCAT 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.
