These unique Upchurch Scientific® tubing adapters connect peristaltic tubing to standard 1/16" or 1/8" OD tubing (using different fittings than are supplied with the product, available separately).
- Easy to use
- Specially designed nose is manufactured from inert PEEK™ polymer
- Can be used as "stops" for peristaltic pump
Manufactured from inert PEEK™ polymer, a specially-designed nose allows the peristaltic tubing to simply press fit over the nose and then be held tightly in place by the retainer sleeve
These Upchurch Scientific® Conical Adapters, designed for peristaltic tubing, provide a reliable connection between rigid/semi-rigid tubing and peristaltic-type flexible tubing, such as Tygon® and PharMed®. Composed of a PEEK™ polymer female nut, a Super Flangeless™ ferrule system and an ETFE or PEEK conical adapter body, the narrow coned end of the adapter body allows peristaltic tubing to slide on more easily than it does onto conventional barbed adapters. Peristaltic tubing is also easier to remove from Conical Adapters since no cutting or excessive pulling is required.
1/16" OD tubing may then be connected with the Flangeless Fittings supplied with the adapter. To connect peristaltic tubing to 1/8" OD tubing, simply replace the supplied fittings with your choice of Flangeless Fittings. One popular application for these adapters is to use them as "stops" for your peristaltic pump. By doing so, you can reduce the amount of peristaltic tubing required for your flow path, thus reducing cost.
