Description
Double bosshead for rods up to 16 mm, zinc die-cast, powder-coated is a laboratory clamp fitting designed to join two rods or stand components securely, with a maximum clamping span of 16 mm. The body is produced from zinc die-cast material finished with a protective powder coating that enhances corrosion resistance and surface durability. Nickel-plated steel screws provide reliable grip and smooth adjustment without galling during repeated assembly. Net weight is 0,110 kg, keeping the fitting lightweight while remaining sturdy enough to support glassware, sensors or auxiliary apparatus. Supplied as a single unit from manufacturer Usbeck, this double bosshead is ideal for constructing retort stands, scaffolding frames and multi-rod configurations in chemistry, biology and physics laboratories. The dual-clamp geometry permits flexible rod orientation, and the powder-coated finish withstands chemical splashes and mechanical wear common in everyday experimental setups. It contributes to safe, stable apparatus arrangements where precise positioning is essential.

Questions about Bosshead 16 mm, powdercoated, screws: nickel plated steel
What is this article?
Bosshead 16 mm, powdercoated, screws: nickel plated steel is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Clamps & bossheads, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Labware.
A bosshead grips the rod. A clamp grips the flask or the condenser, usually through two jaws with cork or vinyl faces. Three-finger and two-finger clamps hold different shapes. The jaw opening is the specification.
A stand, a clamp and a rack hold something still so the hands can do the work. A bosshead locks a clamp to a rod. A test-tube rack keeps tubes upright and in an order the operator can read back. The failure is almost always mechanical: the clamp slips, or the rack does not match the tube diameter. The glass they support is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
