The SS304 Barbed Sink Head is a durable fitting designed to add weight to soft-walled tubing, ensuring it remains submerged at the bottom of a reservoir. It is available in three sizes for tubing with 1/16" (1.6 mm), 3/32" (2.4 mm), and 1/8" (3.2 mm) inner diameters. Sold individually.
General
This Barbed Sink Head is a high-quality connector designed for secure, low-pressure fluid transfer from a reservoir. Manufactured from SS304 (Stainless Steel), this component is a reliable choice for applications that require excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Its primary purpose is to act as a weighted end for soft-walled tubing, ensuring the tubing stays at the bottom of a container for consistent liquid intake, often in systems using a peristaltic pump.
Features
- Sink Head: The solid stainless steel head provides enough weight to sink and hold the tubing at the bottom of a reservoir. This is essential for ensuring continuous aspiration and preventing the pump from drawing air once the fluid level drops.
- Material: SS304 stainless steel offers exceptional corrosion resistance to a wide variety of media and is highly durable for repeated use.
