Description
Thread adapter, Type 55 is a polypropylene (PP) laboratory connector designed to join dissimilar bottle and vessel threads in analytical and preparative workflows. It converts an S55 female thread to an S50 male thread, enabling secure, leak-resistant coupling between containers, caps, and transfer systems that would otherwise be incompatible. Manufactured from chemically resistant polypropylene, the adapter withstands typical laboratory solvents and cleaning regimes while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer SCAT, it supports flexible bottle configurations in HPLC solvent handling, sample preparation, waste collection, and general liquid transfer setups. The Type 55 geometry is intended for routine bench and system integration where reliable mechanical fit and chemical compatibility are essential. Its compact form factor simplifies installation without tools, helping laboratories standardise connections across mixed glassware and plasticware inventories. Ideal for research, quality control, and production environments that require dependable thread adaptation without altering existing vessel designs.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 55
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 55 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.
