KF16 Barb

The KF16 Barb Adapter is a reliable stainless steel transition component designed to facilitate smooth vacuum hose connections. This adapter connects a KF16 flange to a 1/4" barb, allowing for secure and efficient vacuum hose transitions in laboratory and industrial environments. The adapter requires the use of a KF16 Centering Ring and clamp for proper sealing and secure attachment.

Stainless Steel Construction for Durability

Made from high-quality stainless steel, the KF16 Barb Adapter is built to withstand the demands of vacuum applications, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion. Its robust design makes it suitable for frequent use in both laboratory and industrial setups where precision and durability are critical.

Required and Recommended Components

To ensure optimal performance and secure connections, the KF16 Barb Adapter requires the following items:

• KF16 Centering Ring – Provides perfect alignment and sealing between the KF16 components, ensuring an airtight connection.
• KF16 Clamp – Fastens the KF16 components together, maintaining a secure seal for vacuum applications.

Summit Research also recommends pairing this adapter with the following items for enhanced functionality:

• KF16x25 Reducer – Allows for further flexibility in vacuum system configurations by connecting KF16 to KF25 setups.
• KF16 Clamp – Ensures a tight and reliable connection when securing the barb adapter in place.
