PTFE Stopcock
Description
PTFE Stopcocks are a Type of Valve Designed to Control the Flow of Fluids, Primarily Used in Laboratory, Chemical, And Industrial Settings. Unlike Traditional Glass Stopcocks That Often Require Grease for Lubrication And Sealing, Stopcock Feature a Plug Made from This Highly Inert And Self-Lubricating Polymer.
By Configuration
| Type | Description & Function | Common Applications |
| 2-Way Stopcock | A Simple On/Off Manual Shutoff Valve with One Inlet and One Outlet. | Basic Flow Control, Shutting off a Line. |
| 3-Way Stopcock | Has Three Ports. It Allows Flow from a Common Port to Be Redirected to One of Two Outlets (A or B). | Diverting Flow, Sampling Protocols, Extraction/Separation Processes. |
| 4-Way Stopcock | Features Four Ports for More Complex Fluid Routing. Often Made in Custom Configurations. | Specialized Laboratory Setups, Complex Chemical Synthesis, Manifold Systems. |
By Bore Design
| Type | Description & Function | Common Applications |
| Straight Bore | A Single, Straight Passage Goes through the Plug. | Standard 2-Way Stopcocks for Simple On/Off Control. |
| T-Bore | The Passage Inside the Plug Is Shaped Like a “T”. It Can Connect Any Two Ports or All Three Ports at Once. | 3-Way Stopcocks Used for Mixing, Diverting, or Distributing Fluids. |
| Double Oblique Bore | Contains Two Separate, Parallel, and Diagonal Bores within the Plug. | Specialized Flow Control, such as Simultaneously Swapping Two Different Fluid Lines without Cross-Contamination. |
