- Compact design saves fume hood space
- Quick release connectors on inlet/outlets
- Leak-proof shutoff valves
Versatile distribution manifolds make connection of water and gas or vacuum to and from multiple vessels much simpler, neater and quicker. Simple screw tightening allows manifolds to be located in any position on any standard 12 mm diameter support rod or lab scaffolding. Quick release connectors on inlet/outlets make attaching of tubes quick and easy. Connectors also feature leak-proof shutoff valves, that automatically close when the couplings are parted, allowing the use of a single inlet/outlet while the other positions remain sealed. The Water Distribution Manifold allows coolant from a single source to be evenly distributed to up to five condensers and the flow recombined to one outlet pipe. Two manifolds are used in each setup: one to distribute water to the condensers, and one to collect coolant for recirculation or to drain. The Gas/Vacuum Distribution Manifold allows gas or a vacuum from a single source to be evenly distributed to up to five positions or vessels. (Does not control or regulate gas/vacuum flow.)
The Universal 5-way Telescopic Clamp is designed to neatly and conveniently support up to 5 round-bottom flasks, condensers, Soxhlet extractors, etc. Each clamp features five telescopic arms with Velcro® straps that can each be extended and locked in place to suit your needs. The detachable Velcro straps allow the clamping of a wide range of glassware from 20 mm to 60 mm in diameter. Users have a choice of two support rods, both 12 mm in diameter: the 650 mm one-piece rod and the two-piece 650 mm split rod. The split rod has a threaded joint halfway along its body, which allows for shorter assemblies and easier storage.
