Bosshead, Metal
Bosshead, Metal (Product Code: SLE/BH/16) is a die-cast alloy bosshead used to hold two retort stand rods at right angles to each other in school titration, heating and filtration setups. It accepts rods up to 16.5mm diameter, is listed with a diameter of 16mm, and has a blue coating with well-finished metal edges for safe handling. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer, producing this bosshead at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Metal Bosshead Used For?
This is the everyday right-angle bosshead of a retort stand lab: one side grips the upright rod, the other holds the shank of a burette clamp, retort clamp or ring so it sticks out horizontally over the bench. In a school titration practical it carries the burette clamp at a comfortable reading height, in a heating experiment it holds a boiling tube or flask over the burner, and in filtration it supports a ring and funnel above a beaker. Because two rods up to 16.5mm are held square to each other, clamps stay level and apparatus hangs straight.
Slide the bosshead to height, tighten it on the stand rod, then insert and lock the clamp. Students handle it often, so the well-finished metal edges matter: there are no sharp burrs to catch fingers. Store bossheads on the rods rather than loose in a drawer so they are ready for the next class.
