Peter Huber Adapter 1/2" Female to 1/2" Female

The Peter Huber 6358 is a high-quality threaded coupling designed to join two components featuring 1/2-inch male pipe threads. This female-to-female adapter acts as a robust connector for integrating external plumbing, manifolds, or sensors into a laboratory or industrial thermoregulation circuit. Precision-machined from durable, chemical-resistant metal, it is engineered to maintain a pressure-tight seal and excellent flow characteristics across a wide range of operating temperatures, from cryogenic cooling to high-temperature heating.

Key Features:

• Brand: Peter Huber
• Connection Type A: 1/2" Female Thread
• Connection Type B: 1/2" Female Thread
• Material: High-grade, corrosion-resistant metallic construction for industrial longevity
• Application: Serves as a coupler to join two 1/2-inch male fittings or pipes
• Thermal Range: Suitable for the full temperature spectrum of compatible Huber circulators
• Durability: Designed to withstand high pump pressures and frequent thermal cycling
• Versatility: Essential for pilot plants, large-scale chemical reactors, and industrial cooling loops

This adapter is a vital component for technicians working with non-metric infrastructure or adapting Huber systems to local facility plumbing. Its durable construction ensures that it remains leak-proof under the mechanical and thermal stresses common in high-performance laboratory environments. By providing a secure interface between 1/2-inch components, it allows for flexible and efficient configuration of thermal fluid paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are the threads NPT or BSP?
Huber adapters are typically available in G-thread (BSP-P) for European configurations or NPT for North American installations. Please verify your existing hardware before installation; for tapered NPT connections, the use of high-temperature PTFE tape is recommended for a secure seal.

2. Why use a female-to-female coupler?
This is used when you need to join two 1/2-inch male threads together, such as connecting two hoses that end in male fittings or attaching a male sensor probe to a male manifold outlet.

3. Can this handle high-temperature thermal oils?
Yes, the metallic construction is designed to handle the high-temperature thermal fluids used in Huber Unistat and CC series systems. Ensure your chosen thread sealant is also rated for your application's maximum temperature.

4. Does this adapter restrict fluid flow?
The 6358 features a clean, uniform internal bore to minimize turbulence and maintain the high flow rates required for precise and responsive temperature control.

5. Is it compatible with water-glycol mixtures?
Absolutely. The materials are resistant to corrosion from water-glycol, as well as synthetic oils and other common heat transfer media used in scientific research.
