What “Triple Outlet” Means in Practice
The triple-outlet build is the reason to choose the JH-GF004, so it helps to know exactly how it works:
- Three independently controlled outlets — Each outlet has its own knob, so you open and adjust each one separately, not from a shared handle.
- Three gas points from one fitting — All three outlets sit in a single deck-mounted body, so you get three controlled gas connections without installing three separate taps.
- Fewer deck penetrations — One fitting means one hole in the worktop instead of three, keeping the bench tidy and the installation cleaner.
- Shared or multi-task use — Several users can work side by side, or one person can dedicate each outlet to a different burner, instrument, or task.
If your bench needs three controlled gas points at a single location — for multiple users or multiple gas-fed tools — the JH-GF004 provides that in a single deck-mounted installation.
GF004 vs Adjacent Gas Fitting Models
All of these are laboratory gas fittings that share the same core build — a brass body, an epoxy finish, and a slow-opening needle valve with press-and-turn safety. The difference is the outlet count and where each one mounts:
| Model | Outlets | Mounting | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| JH-GF004 | Triple | Deck-mounted | Shared benches and multi-burner workstations that need three gas points from one fitting |
| JH-GF002 | Double | Deck-mounted | Shared benches and dual-task stations, with premium 59-1 / H63 brass and CNC-machined consistency |
| JH-GF001 | Double | Deck-mounted | Shared benches and dual-task stations needing two controlled gas points from one standard fitting |
| JH-GF009 | Single | Worktop-mounted | Individual workstations that need one dedicated gas point |
| JH-GF006 | Single | Wall-mounted | Benches kept clear, where gas plumbing runs along the wall |
| JH-GF003 | Single | Suspended-mounted | Island benches or service spines fed from overhead |
| JH-GF008 | Remote valve + cock | Fume hood | Gas control operated from outside the enclosure, clear of the work zone |
Choose the JH-GF004 when you want three controlled gas points from one deck fitting. Step down to a double-outlet GF001 or GF002 when two points are enough, or the single-outlet GF009 when each position needs just one tap. If you’re unsure, tell us how many gas points each bench needs and how the gas reaches it, and we’ll recommend the right model.

Key Features
1. Three Independently Controlled Outlets
Each of the three outlets has its own knob, so users adjust them separately. Several people can work at one station, or one person can assign each outlet to a different burner, instrument, or task — all from a single deck-mounted fitting.
2. One Fitting Instead of Three Taps
All three outlets sit in a single deck-mounted body, so you get three controlled gas points with one mounting hole instead of three. That means fewer deck penetrations and a cleaner, more organized bench.
3. Premium 59-1 / H63 High-Copper Brass Body
The body is machined from a higher-grade brass with high copper content and low impurities. In practice, that means greater strength, stronger resistance to deformation over time, and a longer service life under repeated daily use.
4. CNC-Machined Precision
The fitting is produced on modern CNC equipment. For you, that translates into more consistent sizing from unit to unit, a cleaner assembly fit, steadier valve action, and a refined surface finish — useful when standardizing many fittings across a lab.
5. Slow-Opening Needle Valve with Press-and-Turn Safety
The slow-opening action brings gas up gradually rather than surging when you open an outlet, and the needle-valve design lets you fine-tune the flow for controlled, steady delivery. The press-and-turn safety function requires a deliberate press before the knob turns, helping prevent accidental gas release from a bump or knock.
6. Matte Epoxy Powder Coating
A protective finish that helps the outer body resist routine acid/alkali splash, UV fading, and heat in general lab conditions, keeping the surface clean over time.
7. Ergonomic High-Grade PP Knobs
Each outlet is opened by a comfortable, high-grade PP knob shaped for a secure grip and steady control, easy to operate through frequent daily use. The knobs are also available in custom colors for gas-type identification across a lab.
Applications
The JH-GF004 is built for busy, bench-side work where several controlled gas points belong at one location:
- Shared benches — Three independently controlled outlets allow multiple users to draw gas at once from a single deck point.
- Multi-burner workstations — Run several burners side by side, each on its own controlled outlet.
- Multi-task stations — Dedicate one outlet to each instrument or task, without switching back and forth on a single tap.
- Grouped gas-point layouts — Any worktop where three controlled outlets belong together, and reducing deck penetrations keeps the surface clear.
Its primary role is multi-point gas control at the bench, providing shared and multi-burner stations with three clear, dependable outlets from a single deck fitting.
Installation & Compatibility
The JH-GF004 mounts through a standard laboratory worktop and connects to your bench gas service. Because it carries three outlets in one fitting, a few checks help ensure a secure, correctly matched fit:
- Confirm the deck hole in your worktop matches the fitting base for a firm, stable mount.
- Allow bench space for three outlets so users can work side by side without crowding.
- Confirm the inlet connection matches your bench gas line and pipe fitting.
- Confirm the gas type — the right connector and configuration depend on the gas medium, so share your gas service details before ordering.
- Confirm the worktop material — let us know your countertop type if you’d like guidance on mounting before shipment.
Share your worktop details, gas type, and inlet connection, and we’ll confirm the right configuration for your installation.
FAQ
What does “triple outlet” mean on the JH-GF004?
It means the fitting has three separate gas outlets in one deck-mounted body, each with its own knob. You control each outlet independently, so they don’t share a single handle. It works as three taps in one fitting, mounted at a single bench point — so several users or several tasks can draw gas at once.
Are the three outlets independently controlled?
Yes. Each outlet has its own knob, so you open, close, and adjust each one individually. That lets multiple users set different flows at the same station without affecting each other.
When should I choose the GF004 instead of a double- or single-outlet model?
It comes down to how many gas points belong at one bench location. Choose the triple-outlet GF004 when a station needs three controlled gas points — for shared benches, multi-burner setups, or several gas-fed tasks. Step down to a double-outlet GF001 or GF002 when two points are enough, or the single-outlet GF009 when each position needs just one dedicated tap.
Why choose one triple-outlet fitting instead of several single taps?
When three gas points are at the same spot, a single triple fitting keeps things simpler: one deck hole instead of three, fewer penetrations in the worktop, and three gas points grouped in a single, tidy location. If your gas points are spread across separate positions, individual single taps like the GF009 may suit better. Tell us your layout, and we’ll advise.
How does the slow-opening needle valve with press-and-turn safety work?
The slow-opening action brings the gas up gradually when you open an outlet, rather than letting it surge, and the needle-valve design lets you fine-tune the flow for steady, controlled delivery. The press-and-turn safety function means you have to press the knob before it turns, so an accidental bump or knock won’t release gas on its own.
Which gases does the JH-GF004 work with?
It’s designed for standard laboratory gas service, but the appropriate connector and configuration depend on the specific gas. Rather than assume, we recommend confirming your gas type before ordering so we can match the correct configuration for safe, reliable operation. Share your gas type with our team, and we’ll confirm the right version.
How is the JH-GF004 installed?
It’s a deck-mounted fitting, so it fastens through a standard laboratory countertop or bench rather than on a wall or from overhead. The base sits firmly on the work surface for a clean, stable setup. Because it has three outlets, it provides enough bench space for users to work side by side without crowding.
Can the handles be color-coded to identify gas?
Yes. The ergonomic PP knobs are available in custom colors, so you can color-code gas types across your lab for faster identification. If you’re standardizing multiple benches, let us know your color scheme, and we’ll match it.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm four things: your deck hole size, available bench space for three outlets, your inlet connection, and your gas type. Checking these in advance helps ensure a secure, correctly matched triple-outlet gas point. Share your setup, and we’ll confirm compatibility.
