Y-Shaped Glass Tube
Y-Shaped Glass Tube (Product Code: SCI-265/061) is a forked glass connector used to merge two gas or liquid streams into one, or divide one stream into two, in school biology and chemistry laboratories. Its two arms branch at a shallow angle from a single stem, all in 7 mm glass, which gives a smoother flow path than a right-angled joint. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as part of its school biology lab equipment.

What Is a Y-Shaped Glass Tube Used For?
In biology classes the Y-tube is best known from the bell-jar breathing model, where the stem stands for the trachea and the two arms carry small balloons that act as lungs, showing how air divides into the bronchi. In chemistry it brings two gases together before they enter a reaction vessel, shares one gas supply between two outlets, or links two collection lines to a single delivery tube.
Fit rubber tubing to all three ends, mount the stem through a bored stopper where the apparatus needs an airtight seal, and clamp any arm you want to close. Handle the fork by the stem rather than the arms, and rinse it after each use so no residue collects at the junction.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the original equipment manufacturer of this Y-Shaped Glass Tube. It is produced at the company's licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sent factory-direct to schools, teacher-training colleges, dealers and importers.
Buying from the maker means one point of contact for your quotation and for any repeat or replacement order — simply ask us. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the diameter of the Y-Shaped Glass Tube?
The Y-Shaped Glass Tube is listed with a 7 mm diameter and is made of clear glass. Choose rubber tubing that fits a 7 mm tube snugly, and contact us if your apparatus needs a precise fit confirmed before ordering.
How is the Y-Shaped Glass Tube used in a lung model demonstration?
In a lung model, the Y-Shaped Glass Tube represents the windpipe dividing into two bronchi. Balloons are tied to the two arms inside a bell jar, and the stem passes through a stopper so that moving a rubber sheet at the base inflates them.
Can the Y-Shaped Glass Tube carry both gases and liquids?
Yes. The Y-Shaped Glass Tube is heat and chemical resistant glass, so it can carry gases or liquids through rubber tubing in routine experiments. Keep flows at low pressure and secure the tubing so it cannot slip off an arm.
How should the Y-Shaped Glass Tube be cleaned?
Rinse the Y-Shaped Glass Tube with water straight after use, flushing each arm in turn, and use a thin tube brush for any residue. Let it drain and dry before storage so no liquid is left trapped at the junction.
Who manufactures the Y-Shaped Glass Tube?
The Y-Shaped Glass Tube is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to educational buyers and distributors.
What details should I give when requesting a quote for the Y-Shaped Glass Tube?
When requesting a Y-Shaped Glass Tube quotation, give the quantity, any tubing, stoppers or clamps to include, and the delivery location in India or abroad. Send it through the contact page for a reply from the manufacturer.
