How the cross type bosshead is used
A cross type bosshead is built for the point where rods cross. It connects crossing rods in a retort stand assembly and offers both 90 and 180 degree positions, so one fitting can carry a horizontal arm at right angles to the stand or a second rod in line with the first. That is useful where several clamps have to be taken off the same stand, for example a flask, a condenser and a receiver held at different heights.
Malleable cast iron is tempered after casting, which makes it tough enough to take a tightly screwed joint without cracking, and the chromium plating gives a bright finish that resists rust. Two screw options are offered: a thumb screw for quick hand adjustment, or a safety screw of heart type.
- Fit the bosshead on the upright rod and tighten it at the height needed.
- Insert the crossing rod at 90 degrees, or at 180 degrees if it must run in line.
- Tighten the screw on the second rod.
- Hang clamps from the crossing rod and check the assembly before use.
