Peter Huber 3-Way Header M16x1 including Connection Angle

The Peter Huber 341870 is a high-performance 3-way manifold header designed to maximize the distribution efficiency of laboratory thermoregulation systems. Featuring a primary M16x1 inlet and three M16x1 outlets, this header allows a single Huber circulator to simultaneously supply thermal fluid to three separate external applications. This package includes a specialized 90-degree connection angle, which is essential for installations where space is at a premium, allowing for clean hose routing and reduced mechanical stress on the circulator's pump outlets. Precision-engineered for balanced flow, the 341870 is an ideal solution for parallel synthesis, multi-stage cooling, or high-throughput laboratory tasks requiring consistent temperature control across multiple vessels.

Key Features:

• Brand: Peter Huber
• Connection Type: All ports M16x1 threaded (1 x Inlet, 3 x Outlets)
• Included Accessories: 90-degree connection angle for compact and stress-free installation
• Application: Parallel distribution of thermal fluid to up to three external devices
• Material: High-grade, chemical-resistant metal for long-term durability
• Compatibility: Designed for Huber Ministat, KISS, and smaller CC series units
• Optimization: Engineered for minimal pressure drop across all three distribution channels
• Design: Robust and compact manifold structure for easy laboratory integration

By utilizing the 341870 3-way header, technicians can significantly enhance the versatility of their temperature control units. The standardized M16x1 threading ensures seamless compatibility with Huber’s extensive range of insulated metal hoses and adapters. The addition of the connection angle makes it particularly effective in tight fume hoods or behind pilot plant reactors, ensuring the fluid path remains unobstructed and organized.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the included connection angle beneficial?
The 90-degree angle allows the manifold to be positioned vertically or horizontally without requiring a large bending radius for the main supply hose. This saves significant bench space and prevents kinks in expensive insulated hoses.

2. Does using a 3-way header affect the cooling/heating performance?
The total pump volume from the circulator is divided among the three outlets. You should verify that your circulator’s pump capacity (L/min) is sufficient to handle the combined requirements of all three applications simultaneously.

3. Can I close off one of the three ports if not in use?
Yes. If you only need to use two outlets, the unused port must be sealed with an M16x1 blanking plug (sold separately) to maintain system pressure and prevent leaks.

4. Is this header suitable for high-temperature thermal fluids?
The 341870 is designed to match the standard operating ranges of M16-compatible Huber units. For applications exceeding 200°C, ensure that your seals and connected hoses are rated for the higher temperature limit.

5. Will this fit a larger Unistat model?
Most Unistats use M24, M30, or M38 threads. To use this M16 header with a larger unit, you would require a reducer adapter (e.g., M24-to-M16) to ensure a secure and compatible fit.
