Male Luer to 1/8 NPT Male Plated Brass Fitting G513 by VITA NEEDLE CO

Description

Product Overview

The Male Luer to 1/8 NPT Male Plated Brass Fitting, model G513, is engineered by VITA NEEDLE CO to deliver a seamless transition between Luer lock components and standard 1/8 NPT threaded fittings. Constructed from high‑grade brass with a protective plating, the adapter resists corrosion, wear, and chemical attack, ensuring a long service life even in demanding environments. Its compact dimensions—4.5 x 3 x 0.5 inches and a weight of just 0.18 ounces—make it easy to integrate into tight spaces without sacrificing strength.

Designed to meet industry standards, the fitting features a male Luer connector on one end and a 1/8 NPT male thread on the other, allowing direct attachment to syringes, bottles, or other Luer‑lock devices while providing a secure threaded interface for hoses, barb fittings, or custom tubing assemblies. The precision‑machined threads guarantee a leak‑free seal when paired with compatible NPT components, reducing the risk of fluid loss or contamination.

Compatibility is a key advantage: the adapter works with a wide range of medical, laboratory, and industrial equipment, including infusion pumps, chromatography systems, and fluid delivery rigs. Its universal design eliminates the need for multiple adapters, simplifying inventory management and streamlining setup procedures for technicians and engineers alike.

Usage

In laboratory settings, the adapter is frequently used to connect syringe‑based sampling devices to larger fluid handling systems, enabling precise metering of reagents, samples, or solvents. Researchers appreciate the ease of swapping syringes without re‑threading connections, which saves time and minimizes exposure to hazardous chemicals.

Medical applications benefit from the adapter’s sterile‑compatible surface finish, allowing safe integration with infusion sets, medication delivery devices, and diagnostic equipment. Its robust construction tolerates repeated sterilization cycles, making it suitable for both single‑use and reusable configurations.

Industrial environments leverage the fitting for process control, where it links pneumatic or hydraulic lines to instrumentation that utilizes Luer lock ports. The adapter’s ability to handle moderate pressure differentials ensures reliable operation in automation lines, water treatment plants, and chemical processing facilities.

Overall, the product excels wherever a secure, leak‑free connection between Luer lock hardware and standard NPT tubing is required, delivering consistent performance across a spectrum of temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure conditions.

FAQ

What materials can this adapter be used with?

The plated brass finish is compatible with most common laboratory and industrial fluids, including water, saline, alcohol‑based solutions, and many organic solvents. It is not recommended for highly abrasive or strongly acidic chemicals that may attack brass.

Is the adapter suitable for high‑pressure applications?

While the adapter is designed for typical laboratory and low‑to‑moderate pressure industrial use, it can safely handle pressures up to 150 psi when installed with proper thread sealant. For higher pressure requirements, a specialized high‑pressure fitting should be selected.

Can the adapter be sterilized?

Yes, the adapter can be autoclaved or chemically sterilized using standard procedures. The plated brass surface tolerates repeated cycles without degradation, making it ideal for reusable medical and laboratory equipment.

Do I need additional sealing material?

For most applications, the precision‑cut threads provide a reliable seal on their own. However, if you are working with fluids that are particularly volatile or under higher pressure, applying a compatible thread sealant can add an extra layer of protection.

What is the warranty period?

VITA NEEDLE CO offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact the supplier for warranty claim procedures and additional support options.
