Tubing
Tubing
Tubing is available in a variety of materials, sizes, and configurations, each designed for a specific application within the laboratory. Tubing choice depends on key criteria such as the nature of the fluid or gas being transferred, temperatures, pressure conditions, chemical compatibility, and the specific type of equipment being used. Consult tubing manufacturer guidelines and safety protocols to ensure that the appropriate tubing is selected. To support procedures using tubing, the appropriate connectors and fittings, tubing kits, and tubing tools are available.
Vacuum Tubing consisting of various plastics and rubber materials is used to connect laboratory equipment to vacuum pumps or aspirators, and is essential for processes like rotary evaporation, filtration, and drying under reduced pressure.
Plastic Tubing such as polyethylene, PTFE (Teflon™), PVC, and Tygon™ are known for their chemical resistance and are suited for transferring liquids, chemicals, and gases. Specific tubing types provide additional properties for handling. PTFE/Teflon™ tubing is ideal for high temperatures and aggressive chemicals; while Tygon™ tubing is suited for transfer of sensitive fluids as well as corrosive materials. All are for use with peristaltic pumps.
Rubber and Silicone Tubing consist of natural or synthetic rubber (silicone) and offer specific characteristics. Natural rubber is flexible and can be used in various applications such as connecting glassware, transferring liquids or gases, and providing airtight seals. Synthetic, rubber-like silicone is biocompatible and can withstand high temperatures—which makes it ideal for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food processing, and more. It is also used with peristaltic pumps—especially for accurate and sterile fluid transfer.
Glass Tubing made of borosilicate is often used in lab setups for transferring liquids, gases, or chemicals found in distillation, fractionation, and other processes where high heat and chemical resistance is needed.

Chemglass Life Sciences Adapter, Distilling/Splitting, 29/42, Angled, 0-4mm Valve, 1/2" Compression Fitting, Process Reactor
Adapter, Distilling/Splitting, 29/42, Angled, 0-4mm Valve, 1/2" Compression Fitting, Process Reactor. Compact and simple distilling/splitter adapter for use with Chemglass process reactors lids that have a 10° angled side neck (CG-1946-B). Vapor flows upward freely through the large vapors holes to the condenser. Distillate flow is directed using the valve to either the receiving flask or back to the reactor. Control valve is either a 0-4mm or a 0-12mm PTFE with a 1/2” OD distillate takeoff for use with CG-1975 compression fittings and TFE tubing. Plugs are supplied complete with CG-309 Perfluoro o-rings.
Chemglass Life Sciences Large Zero Dead Space Drain Valve, 3" Beaded Pipe, Complete, Stabilizing Pin, 1-1/2" Beaded Pipe Side Arm
Large Zero Dead Space Drain Valve, 3" Beaded Pipe, Complete, Stabilizing Pin, 1-1/2" Beaded Pipe Side Arm. The Zero Dead Space flush bottom valve is designed to prevent solids from collecting in the bottom of the vessel. The PTFE drain valve plunger is supplied with a Perfluoro and a TFE encapsulated o-ring for the tip and two Perfluoro o-rings installed on the shaft. The drain valve is connected to the reactor by a unique 3 beaded pipe valve seat that is sealed to the reactor bottom. Chemglass's valve permits total drainage of the vessel contents. The sidearm has a 1-1/2 beaded pipe fitting. PLEASE NOTE: COUPLINGS, HOSE CONNECTIONS AND ADAPTERS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY.
