n 0083 general lab supplies

A four-way gas tap is a bench-mounted laboratory fitting designed to supply gas safely and efficiently to four separate outlets from a single unit, making it ideal for multipoint gas distribution in science labs. It is constructed from solid brass and coated with Rilsan plastic, making it durable, corrosion-resistant, and compliant with safety standards such as British Gas and BSI certifications. Key Features Four outlets with drop lever operation for easy and quick control of gas supply to multiple devices or workstations. Suitable for both natural and LPG gas applications providing versatility in laboratory setups. Body color usually white (RAL 9016) with high-visibility yellow levers for easy identification and safety checks. Maximum working pressure: 20–25 Mbar, with a flow rate of approximately 1 cubic meter/hour per nozzle at 20 Mbar. Includes installation template, anti-rotation pin, and back nut for secure and stable bench mounting. Non-Return Valve (NRV) options available to prevent backflow and enhance safety in case of hose failure. Typical Use This four-way gas tap is widely used in educational, research, and industrial laboratories where multiple gas outlets are required at a single bench, ensuring safe, controlled, and economical gas distribution across multiple users or instruments.
