8" ECO Funnel® EF2 system with 10 Liter Carboy, 83mm (83B) closure

This 8" ECO Funnel® system includes a 10 Liter Nalgene® LDPE carboy with an 83B closure. The EF2 is the newest version of our 8" ECO Funnel. This patented safety funnel features a long tube to prevent evaporation, a short airlock tube, and a gasket to help keep fumes safely contained. The larger 8" ECO Funnel includes an additional safety feature to prevent over-filling that the 4" version does not have; the secondary air-lock tube creates a small air gap in your waste container, which causes fluid to back up temporarily into the funnel when the container is full. After the screw cap adapter is loosened, the remaining fluid will safely flow into the container and not spill.

The ECO Funnel is the ultimate lab safety product for collection of hazardous liquid waste. Its unique, patented design performs two functions, acting as both a sealed waste container and also as a solvent funnel. The 8" ECO Funnel® is made of HDPE and has a 2 Liter fluid capacity. This solvent waste funnel is designed with a custom screw cap which secures it to a specified waste container. It also features a closed-cell HDPE gasket inside the lid and a sturdy positive latch which ensures the lid remains securely closed. A removable filter is also built into the interior to reduce the loss of stir bars or other large particles in the waste liquid. The ECO Funnel is a pass-through system, meaning chemicals are not sitting in the funnel for any length of time, so it's HDPE construction is compatible with most solvents including those that need to be stored in glass.

ECO Funnel FAQ

Does the ECO Funnel® comply with regulations for emissions from open waste containers?
Yes. The primary function of the ECO Funnel is to reduce the emission of volatile solvents to near zero, while providing a convenient way to handle temporary waste in the lab.

Are there any chemicals that should be avoided when using the ECO Funnel®?
Yes, you should avoid strong acids, bases and oxidizers that can jeopardize the integrity of polyethylene. However, even strong chemicals don't affect the plastic much since the funnel is only a pass-through mechanism and doesn't touch the chemical for extended periods.

Can the ECO Funnel® be kept on the waste bottle 24 hrs a day?
We recommend that the ECO Funnel be removed from a waste container when not in use, just like any other funnel. They are for the collection of temporary waste only. Waste should be frequently transferred to a more permanent waste container for optimum safety.
