Rods For Stand Bases (Product Code: SLE/LR/14) are unthreaded 18/10 stainless steel support rods used to build retort stands and clamp set-ups on bases, feet, frames and table clamps in school, college and research laboratories. They are listed in lengths from 500 to 1500 and in three diameters, D/Ø 12, 13 and 16, giving fifteen size combinations to match the fitting and the height of the apparatus. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, and serve as new or spare rods for labs across India.

The rod is the backbone of every retort stand: bossheads slide onto it and carry clamps, rings and holders at whatever height the experiment needs. Because these rods have no thread, they are made for fittings that grip or seat a plain rod, such as rod sockets, table clamps and frames, and they can be moved between set-ups without screwing or unscrewing anything.
Short rods (500 or 600) keep test-tube and titration work compact, while the 1000 to 1500 lengths give room for distillation columns, long condensers and pendulums. Pick 12 or 13 for general teaching work and 16 when several heavy clamps will share one rod. Stainless steel stays smooth and rust-free, so bossheads grip evenly; wipe off spills and avoid bending a rod by overloading its top end.
These rods are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that trades as ScienceLab, which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and produces them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Labs topping up their stock, dealers and importers order the exact lengths and diameters they need direct from the factory.
Mixed orders across several sizes are common, so just list what you need and ask us. See the ScienceLab profile for company details.
