Sockets For Rods Without Thread (Product Code: SLE/LR/07) are socket fittings used to seat plain, unthreaded support rods so they stay firmly in place in laboratory stand and frame set-ups in schools, colleges and research labs. Lab technicians can order them in either of two materials, green-coated steel or 18/10 stainless steel, to suit the working conditions. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as part of its lab equipment range from Ambala.

A plain rod has no thread to screw into a base, so it needs a socket to give it a fixed seat. With a socket in place, a technician can stand a support rod up for a practical, hang bossheads and clamps on it, and lift it out again afterwards so the bench is clear for the next class. This makes unthreaded rods quick to set up and swap between experiments.
Pick the green-coated steel version for general teaching rooms, where a coated finish is enough and the colour makes the fitting easy to spot. Choose 18/10 stainless steel, an alloy of about 18% chromium and 10% nickel, for wet areas, water-bath work or benches that are cleaned often, where a coating could wear. For a retort stand lab in India that mixes both, many buyers keep stainless sockets near sinks and coated ones elsewhere.
These sockets are produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, acting as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Small fittings like this are bought factory-direct by schools, colleges, laboratory dealers and importers, with no trading middleman in between.
If you are replacing worn sockets or adding more to an existing set, ask us and the manufacturer will quote for the same pattern. Read more on the ScienceLab profile page.
