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 can link flasks, gas jars, pumps and manometers in school and college chemistry and physics practicals. Schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors can have these connectors quoted by Science Lab Supplies, which operates from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The T-piece specification is broken down row by row in the table. In short, the connector is glass pipe formed into a T, with arms of 7 mm diameter that take laboratory rubber tubing, and the glass is 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 fits 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. It can serve gas, vacuum and pressure experiments in school and college labs.
- Class 9–11 physics: connecting a U-Tube Manometer into an air-pressure line.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: dividing a gas stream between two test tubes or reagents.
- Vacuum filtration with the Equipment for Vacuum Filtration: a side arm with a clamp that releases the vacuum gently.
- Reduced-pressure demonstrations: teeing a gauge line off a Hand Vacuum Pump with Pressure Gauge.
- 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 with the T-pieces on one quotation.
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. When the T-pieces are part of a longer list, gather everything in the enquiry cart; single questions go through the contact page, and the lab tender page covers formal bids.
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?
Quotations for these T-pieces come from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which handles small and large quantities for schools, colleges, training institutes and distributors.
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 deeply. Students should assemble apparatus only under teacher supervision.
