Silicone stopper with barbed fitting
Silicone stopper with barbed fitting is a type of rubber stopper that is not as often available on the market as some other types of rubber stopper, but it is very useful and you can use it for many purposes. That is why in our offer you can find silicone stopper with barbed fitting, of different shapes and diameters. Barbed fitting is often used for low pressure application, when working with fluids and gases, as well as air. In this case, barbed fitting serves to provide a seal, which is also the main purpose of other silicone stoppers. But when silicone stopper with barbed fitting is used it is less likely to damage tubing walls for example.
Measuring the right size silicone stopper with barbed fitting can be more challenging than measuring the size of some simpler shaped rubber stoppers, so we advise you to be very careful while measuring, and you can also ask for our help in determining the ideal size. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the size will not be appropriate and that you cannot create a seal, which is why you are buying a silicone stopper with barbed fitting in the first place.
There are not many materials, especially those belonging to the category of rubber materials, which have better resistance to temperature extremes compared to silicone. It varies information about exactly what temperatures you can release silicone, but it is certain that it will not be damaged from minus 50 to plus 250 degrees Celsius, and it probably withstands higher temperature ranges. It can also be a food grade, and stands out for its high-level retention of flexibility. This semi-organic elastomer is great for static, rather than dynamic applications. It can also be exposed to water, steam or petroleum fluids. All this makes it a very versatile material.
Stopper & Plug Size Catalog
Compare four stopper profiles and check the selected part dimensions against your opening and available depth. Each profile has its own drawing and dimension meanings.
RST T-Shaped Plugs
Match stem diameter A, flange diameter B, stem length C and flange thickness D. E refers to the underside recess; use the selected row and approved drawing to confirm the actual profile.
RSA Tapered Corks
Compare large-end diameter A, small-end diameter B and Height, in mm. The mating bore and required seating depth determine where the taper contacts the opening.
RSB Undercut Plugs
Compare neck diameter A, flange diameter B, flange-to-lip distance C and flange thickness D. Check panel thickness and rear clearance. E refers to the underside recess.
RSD T-Shaped Stoppers
Compare stem diameter A, flange diameter B, stem length C and head thickness D, in mm. Check the seating surface and available depth as well as the hole diameter.
