Rubber tubing is the flexible link in many set-ups: it joins a glass delivery tube to a second piece of glassware, carries cooling water to and from a condenser, connects a burner to the gas tap, and lets a gas generator feed a trough or gas jar without rigid glass bends. With a pinch or screw clamp fitted, it also works as a simple valve to stop or regulate flow.
To fit it, moisten the end of the glass tube with water or a little glycerol and ease the rubber on with a twisting motion, protecting your hand with a cloth; never force it. Keep the tube within its −25 °C to +70 °C rating, away from flames and hot plates, and check the suitability of natural rubber before using it with oils or organic solvents. Replace any length that has become hard, sticky or cracked, particularly on gas lines.
