Choosing the right adaptors (connectors) for connecting flexible tubing

For connecting flexible tubing of similar or different bore sizes (inside diameters) together, Breckland offers a wide range of suitable adaptors, which can be used to join any flexible tubing (e.g. Rubber, Silicone, Neoprene or PVC tubing).  Sizes quoted refer to the minimum & maximum diameters of each end. Choose an adaptor which has connectors that are larger than the bore of your flexible tubing. We offer 4 types of adaptor, as follows:

Straight Connectors (ADP-300-xxx range) – suitable for joining flexible tubing with the same or fairly similar bores. The connectors are tapered, with ridges to grip and hold tubing in place. Made from Polypropylene (PP), autoclavable.

T-Shape Connectors (ADP-100-xxx range) – useful for connecting a series of tubes or components together e.g. several filter flasks in a filter line. The 3 connections on the adaptors are all the same diameter, with ridges for securely holding the tubing in place. Made from Polypropylene (PP), autoclavable.

Y-Shape Connectors (ADP-200-xxx range) – useful for connection of different components, or splitting/joining of tubing. The 3 connections on the adaptors are all the same diameter, with ridges for securely holding the tubing in place. Made from Polypropylene (PP), autoclavable.

Unequal Straight Connectors (ADP-400-xxx range) – these adaptors have connectors with differing diameters on each side, to allow connection of tubing with very different bores sizes. Also known as expansion or reduction adaptors, large and small bore tubing can be joined together using this type of adaptor. The connectors are tapered, with ridges to grip and hold tubing in place. Made from Polypropylene (PP), autoclavable.

Disconnector Adaptors (ADP-050-xxx range) – useful for connecting tubing which might need to be separated quickly and easily. The two parts of these connectors fit tightly together but can be disconnected again with relative ease, when needed. Made from Polyethylene (PE), non-autoclavable.
