Tubing connectors show their versatility
Omnifit's inert colour-coded connectors provide a simple, versatile system for connecting different types of laboratory tubing instantly, including PTFE, glass, silicone and stainless steel.
Available in standard GL45 and GL32 thread sizes, with other sizes available on request, the bottle caps come in three basic designs, depending on requirements.
A "dual-connection" design is ideal for applications requiring a variety of tubing types and/or sizes to be connected to a single cap.
It has a colour-coded cap connector system to help identify tubing.
A "no-twist" design has a central PTFE block into which tubing lines are connected.
This block can rotate independently of the cap, allowing the cap to be screwed onto a bottle without twisting the tube lines.
The third option, a "low profile" design, is supplied fitted with 1m lengths of PTFE tubing already connected to the cap.
This means a lower profile cap can be used, making it ideal when space is limited.
