Receiver Adapters, Straight

GISCOM Receiver Adapters (Straight) are precision-engineered glass connectors designed to safely guide distillate from condensers into receiving flasks or collection vessels. Their straight-line design ensures smooth transfer without vapor loss, making them essential for distillation, purification, and solvent recovery systems. Built for durability and compatibility with standard joints, these adapters enhance workflow reliability across research, chemical, and pharmaceutical laboratories.

Key Features

• Straight delivery path for efficient, unobstructed transfer of condensate.
• Ground, interchangeable joints ensure airtight and leakproof connections.
• Side hose connection for vacuum support, venting, or controlled pressure applications.
• Manufactured from high-grade Borosilicate Glass 3.3, offering excellent thermal and chemical stability.
• Smooth internal surface for reduced residue buildup and easy cleaning.
• Highly transparent construction enabling clear visual monitoring of flow.
• Stress-relieved, one-piece design for longevity in demanding laboratory operations.
• Compatible with all standard laboratory glassware assemblies.

Handling & Precautions

• Inspect joints and glass surfaces for cracks or chips before use.
• Avoid sudden temperature shifts; heat or cool glassware gradually.
• Clean using mild laboratory detergents; avoid abrasive scrubbing.
• Suitable for autoclaving and dry-heat sterilisation within recommended temperature limits.
• Do not expose to direct flame on a single point to prevent stress fractures.
• Ensure proper support during vacuum or distillation operations.
