The crest and valley structure consists of alternating raised ridges (crests) and recessed grooves (valleys) along the connector ends. When tubing is pushed onto the connector, the crests compress the inner wall of the tubing while the valleys allow the tubing material to deform slightly into the recesses. This creates multiple points of mechanical interference that securely grip the tubing, preventing it from slipping off even under pressure or when pulled. This design provides superior leakproof performance compared to smooth or simple barbed connectors.
These Y connectors are designed for use with flexible tubing having the corresponding inner diameter: 6mm connectors (Code 46112) are for 6mm ID tubing, 8mm connectors (Code 46114) are for 8mm ID tubing, and 10mm connectors (Code 46116) are for 10mm ID tubing. For optimal leakproof performance, use tubing with the exact matching inner diameter.
Yes, these Y connectors are manufactured from polypropylene, which is autoclavable at standard sterilization temperatures (121°C). This makes them suitable for sterile applications in microbiology, cell culture, and pharmaceutical settings. However, always ensure that any tubing attached is also autoclavable and compatible with the sterilization process.
The pressure rating depends on several factors including tubing material, tubing wall thickness, temperature, and the security of the connection. Generally, these connectors are designed for low to moderate pressure applications typical in laboratory settings (gravity feed, peristaltic pumps, etc.). For high-pressure applications, we recommend testing under your specific conditions or consulting with our technical support team.
Yes, these connectors can be used with standard peristaltic pump tubing of matching inner diameter. However, ensure that the tubing is pushed fully onto the connector to engage the crest and valley grip structure. The connection should be secure enough to withstand the pulsatile flow and pressure generated by peristaltic pumps.
Polypropylene offers excellent chemical resistance to aqueous solutions, dilute acids, dilute bases, alcohols, and many organic solvents including acetone, ethanol, and methanol. However, it may not be suitable for strong oxidizing agents, concentrated acids, chlorinated solvents (like chloroform or dichloromethane), or aromatic hydrocarbons (like toluene or xylene). Always consult chemical compatibility charts for specific applications.
Each size of Y connector is supplied in economical packs of 36 pieces. Code 46112 (Y 6mm) comes in packs of 36, Code 46114 (Y 8mm) in packs of 36, and Code 46116 (Y 10mm) in packs of 36. This bulk packing ensures laboratories have adequate supplies for multiple setups and replacements.
For optimal leakproof performance: 1) Cut tubing ends squarely, 2) Push tubing firmly onto the connector until it fully engages the crest and valley structure, 3) For difficult connections, moistening the tubing end with water or appropriate solvent can ease insertion, 4) Ensure the tubing is compatible with the fluid and pressure conditions, 5) Periodically check connections, especially if tubing ages or becomes brittle.
Yes, these Y connectors are manufactured from polypropylene material conforming to US FDA 21CFR standards, making them suitable for direct food contact applications. This compliance ensures they meet strict safety requirements for food processing, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratory use.
