75° Bend, Grind 14/23

Product Overview

The 75° Bend with Grind 14/23 joints is a precision glass connecting component designed for use in laboratory and industrial setups where a change in the direction of vapor or liquid flow is required. Manufactured from heat-resistant glass, this bend provides a reliable conduit between standardized ground-glass joints, allowing it to be integrated into a wide range of assemblies without the need for additional adapters. Its 75° angle makes it suitable for routing connections around fixed apparatus, optimizing bench space, and constructing compact reflux or transfer arrangements.

Construction and Materials

This component is made from heat-resistant glass, offering temperature resistance up to 500°C. This makes it appropriate for applications involving heated vapors and moderately elevated process temperatures. The glass body is chemically inert toward most common laboratory reagents, supporting clean, contamination-free transfer of fluids and gases. The bend is rated for low to moderate pressure applications, making it well suited to standard atmospheric and gentle vacuum operations rather than high-pressure work.

The Grind 14/23 ground-glass joints provide a secure, leak-resistant fit with other components sharing the same standardized taper. The diameter is standardized to fit common laboratory and industrial equipment, ensuring straightforward compatibility within established glassware lines. The length of the bend can be customized based on specific application needs, allowing the component to be tailored to the geometry of a particular setup.

Applications and Compatibility

The 75° bend functions as a connecting element in glass assemblies used for distillation, reflux, gas transfer, and general fluid handling. By directing flow at a fixed angle, it helps link separated components such as condensers, flasks, and receiving vessels into a coherent train. It is a natural addition to complete glassware setups where standardized ground-glass joints simplify assembly and disassembly.

Because it shares the common 14/23 taper, this bend integrates readily into distillation apparatus and similar configurations where vapor must be guided from a heated source toward a condensing stage. For setups requiring additional connection geometry, it pairs effectively with a matching 14/23 distillation connecting adapter, expanding the range of possible flow paths within a single assembly.

With its heat-resistant glass construction, standardized joints, and customizable length, the 75° Bend, Grind 14/23 is a versatile building block for both routine and specialized laboratory work. This product is available soon.
