Peter Huber Hose Connector NW12 for M16x1

The Peter Huber 6087 is a precision-engineered hose connector designed to provide a secure and reliable interface between NW12 flexible tubing and M16x1 threaded ports. This essential adapter is a staple in laboratory thermoregulation setups, allowing users to transition seamlessly from the standard M16x1 outlets found on many Huber circulators to larger NW12 internal diameter hoses. Crafted from high-quality materials to withstand the rigorous demands of temperature control applications, this connector ensures a leak-proof seal and optimal flow characteristics. Its robust design is compatible with a wide range of thermal fluids and is engineered to maintain its integrity under significant thermal stress, making it an ideal choice for both heating and cooling tasks.

Key Features:

• Brand: Peter Huber
• Type: Hose Connector / Barb Adapter
• Hose Compatibility: Designed for NW12 (12mm) internal diameter tubing
• Thread Type: M16x1 female thread for direct connection to circulator outlets
• Material: High-grade stainless steel/brass for superior chemical resistance and durability
• Connection Method: Features a barbed end for secure hose seating and a hex-nut for easy tightening
• Compatibility: Perfectly fits Huber Ministat, KISS, and smaller CC series temperature control units
• Application: Facilitates the connection of insulated or non-insulated NW12 hoses to M16 ports

This hose connector is vital for maintaining a high-flow, low-resistance path for heat transfer fluids. By utilizing the 6087 adapter, laboratory technicians can easily customize their thermoregulation circuits to fit specific reactor inlets or external devices. The precision-machined threads and barbed profile minimize the risk of pressure drops and fluid leakage, ensuring that your experimental results remain consistent and your workspace stays safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does this connector require a hose clamp?
Yes, for safety and to ensure a leak-proof seal—especially when operating at high temperatures or pressures—it is highly recommended to use a high-quality stainless steel hose clamp over the NW12 tubing on the barbed end.

2. Can I use this with 200°C thermal fluids?
Yes, the metallic construction of the 6087 is designed to handle the full temperature range of Huber's M16-compatible circulators. Always ensure your chosen hose material is also rated for the desired temperature.

3. Is there a specific tool needed for installation?
A standard open-ended wrench is used to tighten the M16x1 hex nut. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the internal seals or threads.

4. Will this fit on a Unistat?
Most Unistats use larger M24 or M30 threads. This adapter is specifically for M16x1 threads. If your Unistat has M16 outlets, it will fit; otherwise, you may need a reducing adapter first.

5. Is the connector resistant to silicone oils?
Yes, the materials used in the 6087 are compatible with standard silicone-based thermal fluids as well as water-glycol mixtures and synthetic oils.
