adapter cone 14/23, free tube length 100mm

Adapter Cone 14/23 with 100mm Free Tube Length

When your distillation rig needs more vertical clearance or you're spacing out components that won't quite reach each other, this extended adapter solves the problem without rearranging your entire setup. The 100mm free tube length gives you triple the reach of those stubby 30mm adapters everyone keeps in the drawer, and it's long enough to clear heating mantles, stirrer plates, or any other equipment crowding your workspace.

Bridging Mismatched Glassware with Extended Tube Adapters

Standard adapters work fine until you need actual distance between components. With 100mm of straight tube, you can position a receiving flask well below your reaction vessel while keeping proper drainage angles—something you can't always achieve with angular connectors like the Adapter Bent 105° socket14/23,cone14/23. Bent adapters redirect flow through geometry, but when you need pure vertical drop, straight length wins.

100mm Free Length for Flexible Component Spacing

• Thermal isolation: Keeps heat-sensitive collection flasks far enough from hot reaction zones to prevent premature evaporation or decomposition
• Equipment clearance: Leaves room for heating mantles, magnetic stirrers, and clamp adjustments without disassembling half your apparatus
• Vapor path extension: Reduces backpressure in distillation by giving vapors more tube volume before condensation—useful when working with the Adapter Distillation 105°, socket 14/23 as your takeoff
• Multi-level setups: Works beautifully with Rotary evaporator R-3001 configurations where standard short adapters create cramped, awkward connections

14/23 Cone Connection Standards Across Manufacturers

The 14/23 joint size means a 14mm diameter cone with 23mm taper length—standard on flasks, condensers, and most small to medium-scale glassware up to 500ml capacity. Unlike the beefier 29/32 joints you'd find on something like the adapter vacuum/inert, gas, 90 degrees, cone 29/32, the 14/23 keeps everything compact and manageable. Borosilicate 3.3 glass construction handles thermal shock well, though you should still avoid temperature swings above 150°C in rapid succession. Always grease the cone joint before assembly—frozen joints are a nightmare, especially under vacuum conditions.

Custom Height Adjustments in Multi-Stage Synthesis

Vacuum work benefits hugely from this adapter's length. Pair it with the Adapter vacuum, 105° socket 14/23, cone 14/23 to create sufficient drop distance between your filter flask and vacuum trap—critical insurance against suckback if vacuum fails suddenly. The 100mm span gives you time to close stopcocks before liquids travel backward into your pump. For reflux setups, it positions condensers higher without extension clamps, improving cooling efficiency when you've got a bulky heating mantle taking up vertical space below. Inner diameter runs 10-12mm typically, so liquid transfer rates stay reasonable without creating backpressure during vacuum distillation.
