How the hook bosshead is used
A hook bosshead joins two members of a support assembly at right angles, typically an upright stand rod and a horizontal arm carrying a clamp or ring. The hook form of the jaw lets it be offered up to a rod that is already in place, which saves dismantling a set-up when one more support has to be added part-way through an experiment.
The fitting is secured with a heart screw, a hand-turned screw with a broad grip, so no tools are needed at the bench. 18/10 stainless steel, with about 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel, keeps the bosshead clean and rust-free where it is washed often or used near steam and aqueous solutions.
- Hook the bosshead onto the upright rod at the height required.
- Tighten it by hand with the heart screw until it grips.
- Fit the support arm or clamp shank at right angles and secure it.
- Check the joint before loading any apparatus.
