Uses
The right-angle bosshead is the most used fitting on a retort stand. It locks a clamp, ring support or cross rod to the upright at 90 degrees, so a burette hangs plumb over a titration flask, a funnel sits squarely over a filter, or a heating tube is held level above a burner.
In 18/10 stainless steel the bosshead needs no plating or paint, so there is nothing to chip or wear through with cleaning, and it stays bright after years of washing. The two thread versions and three screw options let a laboratory standardise on one material while matching the screws to its stands: a socket screw for a firm, tool-tightened fixing, a heart screw for hand adjustment, or a heart-type safety screw.
- Slide the bosshead onto the stand rod and tighten it at the working height.
- Insert the clamp shank or cross rod at right angles.
- Tighten the second screw.
- Check that the joint is firm before loading glassware.
