Product Description

I. Overview

The hollow rubber stopper is a specialized sealing accessory for distillation, gas transfer, and thermometer mounting in laboratories. Featuring a 5mm center through-hole, it allows glass tubing, thermometers, or conduits to pass through the bottle opening while maintaining an effective seal.

Available in sizes 1~9 to fit various glassware openings. Natural rubber (NR) is the standard option, with silicone rubber (VMQ) for extreme temperatures, nitrile rubber (NBR) for oil resistance, and fluororubber (FKM) for harsh chemical environments.

🔬 Product Advantages:
Center Through-Hole — Allows glass tubing, thermometers to pass through
Multiple Sizes — Sizes 1~9 for various glassware
Multi-Material — NR/VMQ/NBR/FKM for different environments
Reliable Sealing — Maintains seal while allowing passage
Ready to Use — Pre-drilled hole, no need for manual boring

II. Key Performance Parameters

  • Material: NR / VMQ / NBR / FKM
  • Through-Hole Diameter: 5mm (standard)
  • Size Range: 1~9
  • Temperature Range: -60°C ~ 250°C (varies by material)
  • Applications: Distillation, gas transfer, thermometer mounting

III. Material & Manufacturing

Manufactured from high-quality natural rubber (NR) as the standard option, with VMQ, NBR, and FKM available upon request. Produced via precision compression molding for accurate dimensions, smooth surfaces, and precise hole positioning.

The through-hole is pre-drilled during manufacturing, eliminating the need for manual boring and ensuring a clean, precise opening.

Selection Guide

I. Select by Material

MaterialPropertiesApplications
Natural Rubber (NR)Excellent elasticity, economicalGeneral distillation, teaching
Silicone (VMQ)-60~250°C, non-toxicHigh temperature, food-grade
Nitrile (NBR)Oil and chemical resistantOrganic solvent systems
Fluororubber (FKM)Acid/base resistant, high tempHarsh chemical environments

II. Select by Size

  • Sizes 1~5: Small openings — test tubes, small bottles
  • Sizes 6~9: Medium openings — Erlenmeyer flasks, reagent bottles

💡 Selection Tips: General distillation choose Natural Rubber (NR).
High temperature distillation choose Silicone (VMQ).
Organic solvent systems choose Nitrile (NBR).
Strong acid/base environments choose Fluororubber (FKM).
The standard 5mm hole fits most common glass tubing and thermometers.

Operation & Maintenance

User Guide

03

I. Preparation

  • Select the correct stopper size based on the opening diameter
  • Check that the through-hole is clear and unobstructed
  • Inspect the stopper for any visible damage
04

II. Installation

  1. Insert the smaller end of the stopper into the opening with even pressure
  2. Pass the glass tubing/thermometer through the through-hole
  3. Adjust the tubing/thermometer to the desired position
  4. Confirm the stopper fits snugly against the opening

💡 Tips from Experienced Technicians: "Insert first, then thread" — Seat the stopper in the opening first, then pass tubing through the hole.
"Rotate while inserting" — Rotate the tubing while pushing through to protect the hole.
"Lubricate the hole" — Apply a small amount of water or glycerin to the tubing before insertion.
"Maintain vertical alignment" — Insert tubing vertically to prevent seal compromise.

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • Wear lab coats, gloves, and safety goggles
  • Replace immediately if the stopper shows signs of aging or deformation
Do not
  • Use caution when inserting glass tubing to avoid breakage
