Reduction Adapters

What are Reduction Adapters?

A reduction adapter is a glass laboratory apparatus designed to connect glassware components with varying joint sizes. It enables a secure and adaptable linkage between different glass instruments, allowing versatile and customizable lab setups for various experiments and procedures. The adapter's primary function is to ensure a tight and safe connection between glass instruments with different joint sizes, promoting a seamless and efficient workflow in scientific experiments. Reduction Adapters are manufactured from heavy-duty BOROSILICATE 3.3 GLASS.

Why Use Reduction Adapters?

A reduction adapter lets you join two pieces of glassware whose ground joints are different sizes, without replacing either one. One adapter in the right cone and socket combination saves buying a second condenser, flask or column, and keeps a distillation or reflux train properly sealed.

Choosing the Right Reduction Adapter

Work from the two joints you need to connect: the cone size is the male end that fits into your socket, and the socket size is the female end that accepts your cone. Check both against the table above before ordering. For example, to step a 29/32 flask down to a 19/26 condenser, order 15.00.0404. All sizes are heavy-duty borosilicate 3.3 glass and are interchangeable with any standard-taper glassware.
