Peter Huber Adapter M16x1 Male - M30x1.5 Male

The Peter Huber 6449 is a precision-engineered metric adapter designed to bridge the gap between different sizes of Huber thermoregulation hardware. Featuring an M16x1 male thread on one end and an M30x1.5 male thread on the other, this adapter acts as a critical interface for connecting smaller hoses or manifolds to larger circulator ports and accessories. Machined from high-grade, chemical-resistant metal, it is built to maintain a leak-proof seal and provide high-flow integrity across the wide temperature ranges typical of high-performance laboratory environments.

Key Features:

• Brand: Peter Huber
• Thread A: M16x1 Male (Standard for Ministat and small CC units)
• Thread B: M30x1.5 Male (Standard for medium-to-large Unistats/NW20 connections)
• Material: Durable, thermally stable metallic construction for long-term reliability
• Thermal Range: Suitable for the full operating spectrum of Huber temperature control systems
• Pressure Rating: Engineered to withstand high pump pressures and frequent thermal cycling
• Application: Connects M16 female components to M30 female hoses or unit outlets
• Design: Robust, one-piece construction for a secure and vibration-resistant fit

This adapter is essential for technicians needing to adapt metric thermoregulation equipment between different connection standards. Whether you are integrating a smaller manifold into a large Unistat loop or connecting mismatched hoses, the 6449 provides a reliable transition. Its precision-cut threads reduce the risk of mechanical failure or fluid leakage, ensuring the safety and reproducibility of your thermal experiments.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why would I need an M16 male to M30 male adapter?
This adapter is typically used as a coupler when you need to join two female connections of different sizes. For example, if you have an M16 female hose and want to connect it to an M30 female hose or an M30 female swivel nut on a manifold, this adapter serves as the necessary bridge.

2. Does this adapter restrict the flow rate?
Because the internal bore transitions from the larger M30 size down to the M16 size, there is a physical reduction in volume. However, the internal geometry is optimized to ensure the smoothest possible transition and minimize turbulence in the circulation loop.

3. Do I need O-rings for this adapter?
The male threads seal against the internal gaskets or O-rings found inside the corresponding female M16 and M30 fittings. It is always recommended to inspect the seals in your female connectors before attaching this adapter.

4. Is it compatible with silicone-based thermal oils?
Yes. The 6449 is made from materials fully compatible with a wide variety of heat transfer media, including silicone oils, water-glycol, and Ethanol.

5. Can this be used for high-temperature work above 200°C?
The metallic body of the adapter is rated for high-temperature use. However, the ultimate temperature limit of your connection will depend on the rating of the gaskets/O-rings used in the female ports you are connecting to.
