How the swivel bosshead is used
A bosshead is the joint of a laboratory support system. One side grips the upright rod of a retort stand or frame, the other side grips a clamp shank or a cross rod, and a screw on each side locks the rod in place. On a fixed bosshead the two rods cross at a right angle; the swivel type lets the second rod be turned to any angle before it is locked.
That freedom helps whenever apparatus has to be tilted: holding a condenser at a slope for distillation, angling a test tube over a burner, setting up an inclined support in a physics practical, or bringing a clamp in from an awkward direction on a crowded frame. The zinc die-cast body is compact and takes rods up to 16 mm in diameter.
- Slide one side of the bosshead onto the stand rod and tighten its screw at the required height.
- Pass the clamp shank or cross rod through the other side.
- Turn the second rod to the angle needed.
- Tighten the screws and check that the joint holds before loading any glassware.
