Use Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ Spigot Closure with Polypropylene Lock Nut and TPE Plug in place of a spigot when autoclaving liquids in a Nalgene carboy to provide a leakproof† seal. This closure is also useful when handling could damage or accidentally turn on a spigot, or when a spigot-less carboy is required. Fits all Nalgene carboys with spigot and selected Nalgene tanks with spigot.
Includes:
White polypropylene lock nut, TPE plug
Note:
Nalgene LDPE, HDPE, PP and PMP containers can be used for long-term storage, but direct UV exposure should be avoided.
† The term leakproof applies to Thermo Scientific Nalgene products that meet the following criteria: a) Bottle/flask/funnel closure systems with closures smaller than 100mm, after they are filled with water, inverted, withstand air pressure of 2psig for 2 minutes, and no water escapes;. b) Bottle/funnel/flask closure systems of larger than 100mm after they are filled with water, inverted for 15 minutes, and no water escapes. Note: these tests, using other liquids, may not yield the same results. To ensure safe usage, customers are advised to test Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles and closures under conditions of their planned applications. Thermo Scientific Nalgene products are leakproof at ambient temperature and pressure when used with their Nalgene closures.
