Ball & Socket joints

smaerd - 24-12-2012 at 07:12

Where can I find a variety of ball and socket adapters, joints, etc. What I'm looking for is either a (female) 18/9 or 18/7 adapter to either 24/40 or some other classic GG size. Or an 18/9 to 18/7 to a gas outlet. Not sure if such things even exist, chem-glass didn't even have them :o. Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a few spherical joint adapters. I'll look and see what sizes I have. I know that I have S35 (female) to 24/40 (male), but not sure what other sizes. I have seen them in ebay occasionally, and some places like Ace and Chemglass sell them, but very hard to find the part number.

The only small one I could find was a female 28/15 to a male 24/40 adapter. I also have a S35 female to 24/40 male adapter. I might have seen some smaller ones at some point, but have not found them. I think that somewhere I have a smaller one that goes to a tubing adapter, but have not found it yet.

I really appreciate you looking for me. If you do manage to find something thats 18/7 or 18/9 I'll be making another order.

I did find one to a gas-outlet but its spendy. http://ndsglass.com/products/product.aspx?id=176 . So if you don't turn up with anything I'll likely just go with glass-stock or a glass working blank.
