Description
Busse 5-in-1 Tubing Connector is a tapered suction connector that joins tubing across the 5mm to 11mm range, so one connector covers most line size changes. It comes sterile and individually packaged for field use, or clean and bulk packed where the hospital sterilizes its own, since the clean version is autoclavable.
- Stepped Taper – One connector steps through five sizes, joining tubing from 5mm up to 11mm.
- Sterile Option – Item 501 is individually packaged sterile for direct use on the sterile field.
- Autoclavable Clean Option – Item 511 is supplied clean in bulk and is autoclavable by the hospital.
- Case Formats – Sterile cases hold 200 connectors and clean cases hold 500, in boxed inner packs.
One Connector for Five Tubing Sizes
Suction setups change line sizes at the tip, the canister and the pump, and every change needs a connector that seals on both sides. The stepped taper on this connector presses into tubing from 5mm to 11mm, which covers the common suction line sizes in one fitting. That range is why the pattern is called 5-in-1, and it is the connector stocked at the point where lines are joined during setup.
The sterile version is individually packaged, so a single connector can be opened onto the field without breaking a bulk pack. The clean version is bulk packed for departments that reprocess their own fittings, and the manufacturer rates it for hospital autoclaving.

Why Choose This 5-in-1 Connector?
A connector drawer full of single size fittings slows setups and invites a poor seal. One stepped connector covering 5mm to 11mm handles the joins suction work actually makes, in sterile singles for the field and autoclavable bulk for reprocessing departments.
- Fewer Fittings to Stock – Five sizes in one connector cuts the fitting inventory a suction area has to hold.
- Sealed Joins – The taper presses home on both line sizes for a suction tight connection.
- Two Workflows Served – Sterile singles for the field and autoclavable bulk for departments that sterilize their own.
- Maker Specification – Fit range and pack formats follow the manufacturer’s own catalog descriptions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does it join?
The tapered connector fits tubing from 5mm to 11mm. The stepped design presses into different line sizes on each end, which is what makes it a 5-in-1 fitting.
