A-Shape Retort Stand Base (Product Code: SLE/CH/01) is a heavy cast iron base with an A-shaped footprint that forms the foundation of a retort stand, keeping clamps, rings and glassware steady on the bench. The base is finished in blue paint, sits on rubber feet and has a 10 x 1.5 mm tapped hole to receive the support rod. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for school, college and research labs that need a dependable retort stand for lab work in India and abroad.

The wide A-shaped footprint resists tipping when a flask, condenser or separating funnel is clamped away from the rod. Screw the rod firmly into the tapped hole, then add boss heads and clamps from the bottom up, keeping the heaviest load over the base rather than beyond its edge. The shorter rod suits routine filtration, burette work and heating over a burner; the longer rod gives headroom for distillation set-ups or when two clamps must be stacked.
The rubber feet protect bench tops and reduce sliding on smooth laminate. Wipe off chemical splashes promptly to protect the painted finish, and check that the rod remains tight in the thread before each practical session. Combined with a clamp and boss head, the base becomes the standard lab stand clamp boss head arrangement used in most chemistry and physics practicals.
