SP Bel-Art Quick Disconnects for ¼ to ⅜ in. Tubing; Polyethylene (Pack of 12) (F19730-0002)

The Bel-Art Scienceware reducing coupler fitting is made of polyethylene and has tube connectors. This reducing coupler has one end smaller than the other for connecting two pipes with different diameters. It is a push-to-connect fitting that connects to pipes or tubing on both ends. The fitting is made of polyethylene, which is lightweight, durable, and semi-flexible. It is a chemically inert material that resists cracking and forms a good barrier to gases, vapors, and moisture. This fitting is suitable for use in vacuum applications, water lines, and manometers. It uses metric unit measurements for industry consistency and interchangeability.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Push-to-connect compression fittings do not require tools or sealants, and are useful in installations where a heat source, such as a soldering torch, is prohibited. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
