Product Description
Constantly pulling vacuum tubing on and off a glass sidearm wears out the tubing and risks breaking the flask. This quick-release connector lets tubing stay permanently attached to the hose barb while the threaded end connects and disconnects from the flask in seconds.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 736400-1413: Quick-Release Hose Barb Connector, 1/4" x 13-425. The hose barb fits 1/4 inch ID tubing, and the opposite end has a 13-425 thread for a positive threaded seal. Positioning the connector so tubing angles downward improves flask stability. It is intended for heavy-wall flasks rated for vacuum to 29 inches of mercury and made of 33 expansion low-extractable borosilicate glass meeting USP Type I and ASTM E438. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
