T-Shaped Glass Tubes
Product Code : SCL-CL-11485
T-Shaped Glass Tubes (SKU SCL-CL-11485) are glass T-pieces of 7 mm diameter that let one gas or liquid line split into two, or two lines join into one. With rubber tubing on each arm they link flasks, gas jars, pumps and manometers in school and college chemistry and physics practicals. Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India, supplies these connectors to schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
The connector is made from glass pipe formed into a T, with three open arms of 7 mm diameter that take standard laboratory rubber tubing. The specification lists the glass as chemical resistant and heat resistant, so it can sit in lines carrying reagents or warm gases.

Applications and Experiments for T-Shaped Glass Tubes
A T-tube is used wherever a set-up needs a side branch at right angles: taking a gas to two destinations, fitting a pressure gauge or manometer into a line, or adding a bleed that can be closed with a pinch clamp. Teachers use it in gas, vacuum and pressure experiments.
- Class 9–11 physics: connecting a manometer into an air-pressure line.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: dividing a gas stream between two test tubes or reagents.
- Vacuum filtration: a side arm with a clamp that releases the vacuum gently.
- B.Sc. and diploma labs: general gas-line assembly with rubber tubing.
Standard Scope of Supply
The T-Shaped Glass Tubes are supplied as individual glass T-pieces as described above. Rubber tubing and clamps are not included; add them to your enquiry if you want the whole connection kit quoted together.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
T-pieces can be quoted in any number, from a few spares to a full departmental stock. The quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and you can ask for the price in India alongside other connectors and glassware on the same list.
Registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Put the item in the enquiry cart with the rest of your list, or reach the team through the contact page; tender details are on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size tubing fits these T-pieces?
The arms are 7 mm in diameter, so they take laboratory rubber tubing whose bore fits snugly over a 7 mm glass tube. Wetting the glass makes the tubing easier to push on.
How does a T-tube differ from a Y-tube?
A T-tube has its branch at right angles to the main line, while a Y-tube splits the flow at a shallow angle. Both do the same connecting job; the choice depends on how the set-up is laid out.
Who supplies the T-Shaped Glass Tubes?
Science Lab Supplies supplies them from Ambala, India, and quotes schools, colleges, training institutes and distributors for small or large quantities.
How should the T-pieces be handled?
Hold the arm close to the joint when fitting tubing and never force it, as snapped glass can cut. Students should assemble apparatus under supervision.
Related Glass Connectors and Tubing
A T-piece is one part of a gas or vacuum line. Straight glass tubes, flexible rubber tubing, a screw clamp to control a branch and the Y-shaped alternative make up the rest, and these four items from the Chemistry Lab range can go on one quotation with it.
- Y-Shaped Glass Tubes — splits a line at a shallow angle.
- Glass Tubes of Different Diameters — straight tubes for the rest of the line.
- Rubber Tube (Laboratory) — joins each arm to the apparatus.
- Screw Pipe Clamp (Hoffman Clamp) — controls or closes a branch.
