Quick answer: The chromium-plated malleable cast iron bosshead joins stand rods at a fixed 90 degree angle and comes in three clamping diameters, 16.5 mm, 20 mm and 36 mm, so it can be matched to light stand rods or heavy frame bars.

How the cast iron bosshead is used
The three sizes are the point of this bosshead. The 16.5 mm size is for ordinary stand rods, the 20 mm size for thicker support rods and the 36 mm size for heavy frame bars, so one design can run through a whole laboratory from student stands to fixed rigs. Every size joins its rods at a fixed 90 degree angle.
Malleable cast iron is heat-treated after casting, so it is tough and slightly ductile rather than brittle, and it holds a tight screw without cracking. The chromium plating keeps the surface bright and resists rust on damp benches. The thumb screw gives quick adjustment by hand; the heart-type safety screw is the alternative fastening.
- Pick the size that matches the rod: 16.5, 20 or 36 mm.
- Place the bosshead on the upright and tighten it at the working height.
- Insert the second rod or clamp shank at right angles and tighten.
- Check the joint before loading.
