Three fingers close on an object from three directions, centring round-bottom flasks, separating funnels, condensers and columns more naturally than a two-jaw clamp. Because the span opens from zero, the 0–80 mm version holds slim tubes as well as medium flasks, while the 0–120 mm version reaches wider vessels. That range lets one clamp serve many setups in chemistry lab glassware work, from distillation to filtration.
The silicone coating on each finger grips without scratching and spreads the load on glass, cushioning it without extra padding. Mount the 12 mm shaft in a bosshead, position the clamp before tightening, and check that the vessel hangs straight before adding liquid or heat. Keep the coated fingers away from direct flame.
This 3-prong clamp comes from ScienceLab, the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which is its OEM and produces it at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Research laboratories, universities, schools, dealers and importers in India and international markets buy it direct from the manufacturer rather than through a trading house.

What sizes is the Retort Clamp Special 3-Prongs available in?
The Retort Clamp Special 3-Prongs, 18/10-Stainless Steel is available in two versions, both 190 mm long with a 12 mm shaft: one with a 0–80 mm span and one with a 0–120 mm span.
Why are the fingers of this 3-prong clamp silicone coated?
The fingers of the Retort Clamp Special 3-Prongs carry a silicone coating so they grip glassware firmly without metal-to-glass contact, which helps prevent scratches and spreads the pressure on thin-walled flasks and tubes.
How does the 3-prong special clamp differ from a standard retort clamp?
The Retort Clamp Special 3-Prongs uses three silicone-coated fingers that centre round vessels and open from zero, whereas a standard retort clamp has bare round jaws in fixed span sizes. The 3-prong design suits mixed diameters on one stand.

Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Retort Clamp Special 3-Prongs, 18/10-Stainless Steel as the OEM, making it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplying it directly to labs, dealers and importers.
Can the 3-prong special clamp be used near a burner?
The Retort Clamp Special 3-Prongs can hold glassware in a heated setup, but keep its silicone-coated fingers out of direct flame and let hot glass cool before adjusting the clamp. Position it around the neck of the vessel, away from the hottest zone.
