On a crowded stand, a hook-style boss head is generally chosen so that a fitting can be added or taken off part-way up the rod without dismantling the clamps above it. Typical jobs include fixing a burette clamp for titration, adding a ring for a filter funnel, or setting a side rod for a thermometer over a water bath. Because it holds the second rod at a firm 90°, the clamp stays level and glassware hangs straight, which matters when students read a burette or meniscus.
Position it on the stand rod, seat the clamp shank or cross rod in the hook side and turn the heart screw until the joint is rigid; take the weight of any glassware off the clamp before loosening. In busy school chemistry lab equipment rooms, 18/10 stainless steel is a sensible choice because acid splashes and daily washing do not mark it the way they can mark coated metals.
ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which is the OEM of this hook bosshead and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying from the manufacturer means schools, colleges, dealers and importers get quotations without a middleman and can ask the factory directly about matching fittings.
