A range of bases, rods, and connectors for assembly of retort stand setups. Use rod connectors when semi-permanent installations are required, holding rods firmly for a stable support system. Hard retort rods provide a smooth fit with lab frames. All rods are structurally strong and resistant to clamp compression scars, and certain models are immune to corrosion and rust due to the manner of their fabrication. All parts are sold separately for easy ordering of replacements.
