Description
Thread adapter, Type 60 is a polypropylene (PP) connector designed to join GL38 female (short) threads to GL45 male threads, specifically suited for use with Politainer containers. This compact laboratory fitting enables secure, leak-resistant transitions between different bottle neck standards commonly encountered in solvent handling, waste collection and chemical storage workflows. Manufactured from chemically resistant polypropylene, the adapter withstands typical laboratory solvents and cleaning agents while remaining lightweight and easy to install by hand. The short GL38 female side ensures a low-profile connection that minimises dead volume and protrusion above the container neck. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer SCAT, the Type 60 adapter integrates smoothly into existing SCAT safety-cap and waste systems as well as general laboratory bottle setups. Its robust moulded construction supports repeated assembly and disassembly without thread deformation. Ideal for analytical, preparative and waste-management applications where reliable thread conversion between GL38 and GL45 interfaces is required, this adapter provides a straightforward mechanical solution without additional seals or tools.

Questions about Thread adapter, Type 60
What is this article?
Thread adapter, Type 60 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 Matériel de laboratoire.
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.
