Glass Adapters, Air Leak Tube/Gas Inlet Tube

What is it?

An Air Leak Tube (also known as a Gas Inlet Tube) is a specialized glass component used in laboratory distillation and reaction setups. Its main purpose is to allow a small, controlled amount of air or specific gas to enter a flask. This is very helpful when working under a vacuum to prevent "bumping" (sudden boiling) or to create a safe atmosphere for sensitive chemical reactions.

Key Benefits and Features

• High-Quality Material: Made from superior Borosilicate 3.3 glass that is resistant to high heat and chemical corrosion, ensuring a long life in the lab.
• Controlled Flow: Designed with a narrow capillary end that allows for very fine control over how much air or gas enters your setup.
• Vacuum Tight Seal: Features a precision-ground glass cone joint that fits perfectly into your reaction flask to prevent unwanted leaks.
• Versatile Usage: Ideal for use in vacuum distillation, solvent recovery, and any experiment where you need to introduce an inert gas like Nitrogen or Argon.
• Easy Connection: The top part of the tube is designed to easily connect to standard laboratory hoses or vacuum pumps.

Our Quality Commitment: Every Air Leak and Gas Inlet Tube is manufactured with extreme care and stress-tested to ensure maximum safety and accuracy for your laboratory research.
