What Is the Retort Boss Head Used For?
A boss head is a double clamp: one screw grips the upright rod of the stand and the other grips the rod of a clamp, ring or cross arm, normally at right angles. It lets a student set a burette clamp, flask clamp or retort ring at exactly the height needed and swing it to one side, which is how titration, filtration, distillation and heating set-ups are built in chemistry, physics and biology labs.
Tighten the screw on the stand rod first, then insert and tighten the clamp, and check that the load sits over the stand base. Loosen the screws fully before sliding the boss head, rather than forcing it along the rod.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Body — aluminium die cast (this listing) or the zinc pressure type.
- Rod size — give the diameter of your stand rods so JLab can confirm the fit.
- Quantity — minimum 10 units; most stands need one boss head per clamp or ring.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a retort boss head do?
It joins a clamp or ring to the upright rod of a retort stand and holds it at the chosen height.
What is it made of?
Aluminium pressure die casting; a zinc pressure-type version is also listed. It is described as rigid and of superior quality.
What rod diameter does it take?
The listing does not give the rod capacity, so send JLab the diameter of your stand rods and clamp shanks to confirm the fit.
Is a clamp included?
No. The boss head is sold on its own; retort clamps, rings and stand bases are separate items linked below.
Who manufactures the boss head?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab), at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of laboratory stand hardware and educational science equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The boss heads are die-cast and finished at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order factory-direct; every piece is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders come from the same manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Guatemala in Central America and the Caribbean, Turkmenistan in Central Asia, Sierra Leone in West Africa, Latvia in Northern Europe and Austria in Western Europe.
