Boss for rods up to 16 mm with hook is a robust laboratory clamp fitting manufactured from zinc die-cast and finished with a durable powder coating. It provides a secure mounting solution for rods with a maximum clamping span of 16 mm and incorporates a convenient hook for additional attachment options in retort stands or scaffolding assemblies. Nickel-plated brass screws ensure reliable fastening, while the 10 mm diameter receiving bore accommodates standard laboratory rods and accessories. With a net weight of 0,100 kg, the compact boss offers solid mechanical stability without excessive bulk. Produced by manufacturer Usbeck, this powder-coated zinc component is suited to everyday laboratory frameworks where corrosion resistance and firm grip are required. The design supports cross or double-boss configurations commonly used to hold glassware, sensors or apparatus at adjustable heights and angles. Its combination of zinc die-cast body, powder-coated surface and nickel-plated brass hardware delivers long service life under typical lab conditions, making it a practical choice for building stable support structures in teaching, research and quality-control environments.

Questions about Suspension Hook 16 mm
What is this article?
Suspension Hook 16 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Stands, rods & bases, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Labmateriaal.
A retort stand is a base and a rod. The base mass keeps a clamped flask from tipping. Rod diameter decides which bossheads fit. A light base under a heavy condenser is how glassware falls.
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.
