Ace Glass 8200-05 "Flickit" Valve, 5 mm Bore

Quick-open, valve-type stopcock with glass barrel, PTFE plug, and FETFE O-Rings. Unique design allows introduction of particulates or capsules into a system using a rod or plunger. Because the barrel is angled with respect to the side arms and the plug has a corresponding angled end, a 180° turn not only changes the angle of the plug with respect to the pathway, but this rotation in the threaded barrel provides a "lifting" action that nearly retracts the plug from the pathway; additional turn removes it completely. Resulting unobstructed, quick-open pathway offers many advantages not found in conventional PTFE or glass stopcocks. Size of stopcock 5 mm refers to I.D. of side arms. Plugs and barrels are NOT interchangeable. Not recommended for high vacuum.
