Three Prong Swivel Clamp (Product Code: SLE/CH/08) is a dual-adjustment laboratory clamp whose three PVC-covered fingers close around round and irregularly shaped objects, from flask necks to condensers and odd-shaped apparatus. Its jaws open to a maximum of 64.8 mm (2-9/16 in), and a wing nut on the shaft lets the clamp head rotate through a full 360° so glassware can be set at exactly the angle a set-up needs. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is everyday chemistry lab equipment in India for school, college and research benches.

Three fingers centre a round object better than two flat jaws, which is why this style of clamp is chosen for the neck of a round-bottom flask, a distillation head or a condenser. Because the two adjustments work independently, the clamp can be closed evenly around a tapered or irregular item rather than pinching it on one side. The 360° swivel is useful when a condenser has to slope downward to a receiver or when a flask must be tilted for a reflux or a gas-generation set-up; loosen the wing nut, set the angle, then tighten it before adding liquid.
The PVC-covered fingers cushion glass and reduce the risk of cracking, but they should be tightened only until the item is secure — over-tightening is a common cause of broken necks. Keep the covered fingers away from direct flame, and check the rod grip is firmly locked on a rod of up to 19 mm before hanging any load. Paired with a sturdy stand, it gives students a steady set-up for distillation and other assembled apparatus.

How wide do the jaws open?
The maximum jaw opening is 64.8 mm (2-9/16 in).
What rod sizes does it fit?
The clamp post holder grips rods up to 19 mm (3/4 in) in diameter.
Can the clamp be angled?
Yes. Loosening the shaft wing nut lets the clamp rotate through 360°; tighten it again once the angle is set.
Will it scratch or crack glassware?
The fingers are PVC covered to cushion the grip. Tighten only until the item is held firmly.
Can it be used close to a flame?
Keep the PVC-covered fingers away from direct flame and very hot surfaces; clamp glassware at a cooler point such as the neck.
Can I order clamps for a whole lab?
Yes. Send the number of clamps and any stands needed through our contact page; we supply institutions in India and international markets.
