I have a 250ml Monax Retort with a taper socket, but a B14 plug almost falls through and a B19 doesn't go in even slightly, I could need something
about B16, is there such a thing as a ground glass taper plug (or thermometer adaptor) at B16.
As there will be nitric acid vapour I really don't want to use cork or rubber. is there a sensible alternative?

Try a PTFE stopper. You can buy ones which fit a vairet of sizes. It sounds like this taper is a non-standard taper like some old reagent bottles are.

Is it the
standard taper angle? That's a 1:10 pitch. If it is, you may be able to find an extra-long fitting. It will fit somewhere along the extra length, even
though it will stick up above or below.DJF90 - 25-7-2010 at 10:50
Look for stoppers from volumetric flasks. They're commonly found in sizes corresponding to B12/B16 etc.peach - 25-7-2010 at 14:49
