Distillation Receiver Adapter with 105° Bend and Side Arm Vent, BORO 3.3 Glass

Description

The Distillation Receiver Adapter with 105° Bend and Side Arm Vent, BORO 3.3 Glass, also known as a vented receiver adapter, bent distillation adapter or glass receiver bend with vent, is designed to direct condensed liquids from a laboratory condenser into a compatible collection vessel. Manufactured from borosilicate 3.3 glass, the adapter features a 105° angled bend, an integrated drip tip, one female ground glass socket, one male ground glass cone and a side arm vent. The 105° bend provides a practical connection between the condenser outlet and receiving flask, helping guide the distillate along the required collection path. Its shaped drip tip directs liquid droplets towards the receiving vessel during suitable distillation procedures.

The side arm vent provides a path for gases to escape, helping prevent unintended pressure accumulation caused by a completely closed receiving arrangement. The vent must remain unobstructed and does not replace appropriate laboratory pressure-control measures. The female ground glass socket connects to the matching male joint of a condenser, while the lower male cone fits into a compatible receiving flask. Correctly matched standard taper joints support interchangeable laboratory glassware assembly. The BORO 3.3 glass construction offers resistance to many laboratory chemicals and low thermal expansion, making the adapter suitable for compatible heating and condensation procedures.

Available in five socket and cone combinations, the range includes 14/23, 19/26, 24/29 and 29/32 joint sizes. The 19/26 socket to 24/29 cone variation also accommodates differently sized glassware connections. This adapter is suitable for simple distillation, laboratory solvent collection, chemical purification and research experiments requiring a vented connection between a condenser and receiving vessel. Each variation is supplied as one distillation receiver adapter per pack, allowing laboratories to select the appropriate joint configuration for their existing equipment.

Safety Precautions: Inspect the glass adapter for cracks or damaged joints before use. Support connected apparatus with suitable laboratory clamps and stands. Never block the side arm vent during atmospheric distillation, and ensure hazardous vapours are controlled using appropriate laboratory ventilation. Pressure and Vacuum Information: The side arm is intended for venting and should not be treated as a certified pressure-relief device or vacuum connection. Verify the suitability of the complete apparatus before use.
