Distillation Receiver Adapter with 105° Bend and Drip Tip, BORO 3.3

Description

The Distillation Receiver Adapter with 105° Bend and Drip Tip, BORO 3.3 Glass, also known as an angled distillation adapter, glass receiver adapter or distillation take-off adapter, is designed to transfer condensed liquids from a laboratory condenser into a compatible collection vessel. Manufactured from borosilicate 3.3 glass, this adapter features a 105° angled bend, an integrated drip tip, an internal delivery stem and matching 14/20 ground glass socket and cone connections. The 105° bend provides a directional connection between the condenser and receiving flask, allowing condensed liquid to flow towards the collection vessel during suitable distillation procedures.

An integrated glass drip tip and delivery stem extend into the lower male cone, helping guide distillate into the receiving vessel. This arrangement supports controlled liquid collection within laboratory distillation apparatus. The female 14/20 ground glass socket connects to a matching male joint on a laboratory condenser, while the male 14/20 cone fits into the corresponding female socket of a receiving flask. These standard taper connections provide interchangeable assembly with appropriately matched laboratory glassware. The 14/20 joint size must be distinguished from other joint dimensions, including 14/23. The BORO 3.3 glass construction provides resistance to many laboratory chemicals and low thermal expansion, making the adapter suitable for compatible heating, condensation and chemical processing applications.

Its transparent glass body also allows convenient visual inspection of the internal liquid path, helping users identify visible residue or damage before installation. This adapter is suitable for simple distillation, laboratory solvent collection, chemical purification and organic chemistry experiments, where condensed liquid must be transferred from a condenser into a receiving vessel. The single-piece glass design provides a compact connection between compatible components without requiring an additional delivery tube. Each adapter is supplied individually in a pack of one, making it suitable for laboratory apparatus assembly, replacement and maintenance.

Safety Precautions: Inspect the glass adapter and ground joints for cracks or chips before use. Support the distillation apparatus with suitable clamps and stands. Ensure the receiving system is appropriately vented, as this adapter does not incorporate a dedicated side arm vent. Pressure and Vacuum Information: The manufacturer does not specify a pressure or vacuum rating for this adapter. Do not use it to create a sealed distillation system or assume suitability for vacuum distillation without verifying the complete apparatus.
