How it is used
Three fingers, one on one side and two on the other, grip a cylindrical item at three points, which centres it and holds it firmly. Because the span is set by two regulating screws that work independently, the grip can be adjusted on one side without disturbing the other, which helps when lining up a condenser or adapter with another piece of apparatus.
The 0-35 mm version suits test tubes, boiling tubes, thermometers and small adapters; the 0-60 mm version takes wider items such as small flask necks and measuring cylinders. Chromium plating resists corrosion and the PVC coating keeps the glass away from bare metal.
- Fix the 10 mm shaft in a bosshead on the support stand.
- Open both regulating screws wider than the item.
- Place the glassware between the fingers and tighten each screw in turn until it is held centrally.
- Check that the grip is firm but the glass is not under strain.
