Description
Double bosshead for rods up to 16 mm is a laboratory clamp fitting engineered to join support rods securely in experimental frameworks and stands. Fabricated from zinc die-cast with a nickel-plated finish, the component offers solid mechanical strength together with improved surface protection against corrosion and everyday wear. The largest clamping span of 16 mm accommodates standard laboratory rods used in chemistry, physics and biology setups. Nickel-plated brass screws deliver firm, repeatable grip without damaging rod surfaces, ensuring stable multi-rod assemblies over prolonged use. With a net weight of only 0,100 kg, the compact double bosshead from manufacturer Usbeck integrates easily into existing scaffolding while maintaining structural integrity. It is well suited for constructing multi-level supports, securing apparatus holders or creating custom frameworks on the bench. The combination of robust zinc body and protective nickel plating provides reliable performance under routine laboratory handling, chemical exposure and frequent adjustment, making the fitting a practical choice for both teaching and research environments that require dependable rod interconnection.

Questions about Bosshead 16 mm, nickel plated
What is this article?
Bosshead 16 mm, nickel plated 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.
