Bosshead, Swivel
Bosshead, Swivel (Product Code: SLE/BH/17) is a die-cast zinc connector used to join two support rods at any angle on retort stands in school and college laboratories. Science departments that run angled practicals on many benches choose it because it holds rods up to 16mm and comes in a pack of 25, ready for school lab equipment bulk supply. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Swivel Bosshead Used For?
A swivel bosshead is the joint that lets a stand hold apparatus on a slope. When a whole class assembles the same angled setup — collecting a gas over water with a tilted delivery tube, heating a test tube at a slant, sloping a condenser for a simple distillation, or angling a ramp or mirror in physics — each stand needs a joint that can be set and then locked. A pack of 25 gives every group identical hardware, so the teacher demonstrates once and every bench copies the same angle. It is a small but constant part of chemistry lab equipment in schools across India.
Clamp one side to the stand rod, fit the clamp shank or second rod into the other side, swing it to the required angle and tighten. Recheck the angle after tightening and support glassware by hand while adjusting. Wipe off spills after each lesson and store the bossheads together so the class set stays complete through the year.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of packs required — each pack holds 25 swivel bossheads.
- The diameter of your stand rods, since this bosshead takes rods up to 16mm.
- Any stands, clamps or fixed bossheads needed for the same benches, so one quotation covers the full setup.
- The delivery location, in India or abroad.
