Bondable Prototyping Fittings
Interchangeable Components
Build-a-Part® bondable prototype fittings allow you to choose interchangeable components to create a tubing set prototype for evaluation before committing to production. You can connect junction blocks to luer, hose barb, or threaded components to create multiport, multiaxis products that receive and redirect flow in your desired direction.
Bonding Suggestions
How to Apply Solvents
Prior to actually bonding, press together a model of the manifold to use as a reference. Do not mix plastic resins. Consult your adhesive specialist if you need to bond dissimilar materials.
These components are designed for bonding with any one of a number of solvents, but other adhesive systems may be used. When solvent bonding, use a very small gauge needle (typically 27 or 30) for best solvent control. Consult your adhesive specialist for guidance on other systems.
Apply solvent sparingly. Most solvents are low viscosity and readily wick into the bondline. Excessive solvent may compromise the aesthetics and the function of the assembly.
Press the mating components together leaving a .01 - .03" gap between them for the solvent. Place the components in an orientation such that they may be rotated 1/4 turn to their final position after applying the solvent. After applying solvent, wait a few seconds, then rotate the components to their final position. When making a long manifold with bondable junction blocks it may be helpful to push the assembly against a flat surface to align the blocks before the solvent has set.
Unique Solutions
Options include ISO 594-1 compliant male and female luers and hose barbs for 1/16" (1.6 mm), 3/32" (2.4 mm) and 1/8" (3.2 mm) tubing IDs in straight, elbow, and tee configurations.
Design Your New Component
You no longer need to be constrained by the limitations of injection molding tool design. The exact fitting, in the optimal layout for your process or product concept, is right at your fingertips.
