Specifications

What Is the Chromium-Plated Swivel Bosshead Used For?

Plenty of practicals need something held on a slope: a test tube tilted over a burner so condensate cannot run back onto hot glass, a delivery tube angled into a gas jar, a thermometer set into a side-arm flask, or an inclined track or mirror in a physics demonstration. In distillation apparatus on a school bench, the swivel joint lets the condenser fall gently towards the receiver without forcing the clamp. It is a useful part of any retort stand lab setup where apparatus must lean rather than sit square to the stand.

Tighten the stand-rod side first, pass the clamp shank through the other side, rotate it to the angle you need and lock it with the thumb screw, keeping a hand under any glassware while you adjust. The chromium plating gives a bright surface that is easy to wipe; rinse off acid or salt splashes promptly and dry the joint so the plating stays intact.
