How the swivel bosshead is used
Many set-ups need a clamp that is neither vertical nor horizontal. A Liebig condenser slopes downward from the still head in a distillation, a test tube for heating is held at an angle, and a gas-collection train often needs one arm set at an awkward angle. The two halves of this bosshead rotate through a full 360 degrees relative to each other, so the second rod can be locked at exactly the angle the apparatus needs.
The body is malleable cast iron, heat-treated so it is tough rather than brittle, and chromium plated for a bright surface that resists rust. The thumb screw is tightened by hand, so the angle can be changed during a practical without looking for a spanner or key.
- Fix one half of the bosshead to the stand rod with the thumb screw.
- Insert the clamp shank or cross rod into the other half.
- Rotate the swivel to the angle the apparatus needs.
- Tighten firmly and check the joint before loading glassware.
