Kimble Nylon Three-Way Stopcock with Luer-Lock Fittings – Pack of 10

Description

Product Overview

The Kimble Nylon Three-Way Stopcock is engineered for precise fluid management in demanding laboratory and industrial environments. Constructed from high‑grade nylon, the stopcock resists chemicals, solvents, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance over extended use. The three‑way design enables versatile routing of fluids, while the integrated Luer‑Lock fittings provide a secure, leak‑free connection that meets ISO standards for medical and scientific applications. Each unit is supplied in a pack of ten, allowing users to stock essential components for routine maintenance, experimental setups, or large‑scale production lines. The compact dimensions (4.8 x 3.1 x 1 inches) and lightweight build (0.01 ounces) make the stopcock easy to handle and install in tight spaces.

Usage

This stopcock is ideal for a wide range of applications, including chromatography systems, fluid sampling rigs, pneumatic control circuits, and medical device assemblies. Its durable nylon body tolerates aggressive reagents such as acids, bases, and organic solvents, making it suitable for chemical synthesis labs, quality‑control testing, and research facilities. The Luer‑Lock interface ensures quick and reliable coupling to syringes, tubing, and other standard laboratory components, reducing setup time and minimizing the risk of leaks. Engineers and technicians appreciate the straightforward three‑position operation—open, closed, and divert—allowing precise control of flow paths during experiments or process adjustments.

FAQ

What types of fluids can the stopcock handle?

The nylon body is compatible with most aqueous solutions, organic solvents, acids, and bases commonly used in laboratory and industrial settings. It is not recommended for highly abrasive slurries or fluids containing sharp particulates that could damage the internal sealing surfaces.

How do I install the Luer‑Lock fittings correctly?

Align the Luer‑Lock threads on the stopcock with the corresponding threads on your syringe or tubing, then rotate clockwise until a firm, audible click is felt. This ensures a sealed connection that prevents leaks during operation.

Can the stopcock be sterilized?

Yes, the stopcock can be autoclaved at standard temperatures (121 °C) without compromising its structural integrity. For rapid sterilization, it can also be exposed to ethylene oxide or gamma radiation, provided the recommended exposure limits are observed.

Is a spare set of fittings included?

The pack contains ten complete stopcocks, each with its own set of Luer‑Lock fittings. If additional fittings are required, they can be purchased separately from our catalog, ensuring compatibility with the existing units.

What warranty does the product have?

Kimble Chase provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Should any component fail under normal use within this period, we will replace the affected unit at no cost to the customer.
