Hi sam
There are adapter, I seem to have one that goes from Johnson to ball joint…
I can send you a picture if you want to see what it looks like…

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone here has experience with connecting old BCU-05 hosing
(with the female ball joint end) to modern probes (e.g. iProbes with the screw-on
Johnston coupling, not the male ball-joint). I've got adaptors for connecting
these probes directly to the BSVT gas output (bypass the chiller altogether),
and for connecting a modern BCU-I/II to an older ball-jointed probe (which isn't
much use for me).
Any insight would be much appreciated as to whether the appropriate adaptors for
this desired configuration exist, or if anyone has Macgyvered this without having
to upgrade to a new BCU. I've seen Bruker engineers screw the hosing straight onto
the probe without any straight insert Johnston coupler in a previous job (but it's
very inelegant and not a long term solution - it's barely attached).
Regards from the UK,
