Eisco Extra Large Laboratory Stand Kit 12.4" X 8" w/ 39.5" Rod
in Lab Stands
$49.00
In stockTwo-piece retort stand: a 12.5 x 8 in powder-coated pressed-steel base, roughly 1 in high and weighing 4 lb, paired with a 39.4 in steel rod of 12 mm diameter. The base carries a tapped 10 mm x 1.5 mm hole, so it accepts the supplied rod or any other rod cut to the same metric thread. Base mass is the specification that matters most on a tall stand — it is what resists the tipping moment once clamps and glassware sit high on the rod.

Frequently asked questions
What is included?+
Two pieces: the retort base and the steel rod. The manufacturer describes it as a two-piece laboratory set; clamps, boss heads and support rings are not part of the kit and are listed separately in this catalogue.
What are the base dimensions and weight?+
The manufacturer’s description gives 12.5 in long by 8 in wide, approximately 1 in in height, weighing 4 lb. Note that the product title states 12.4 in while the manufacturer’s own description states 12.5 in twice — the two disagree by a tenth of an inch, so confirm with us before designing around a tight footprint.
What are the rod specifications?+
39.4 in tall, 12 mm in diameter, steel, with a 10 mm x 1.5 mm metric thread at the base end.
Can I fit a different rod to this base?+
Yes. The base’s tapped hole takes any rod with a 10 mm x 1.5 mm metric thread. The 35.5 in stainless rod supplied with the large Eisco stand kit uses the same thread.
What is the base made of?+
Corrosion-resistant powder-coated pressed steel, per the manufacturer. No coating specification or corrosion-test class is published.
How does it compare with the large Eisco stand kit?+
The large kit has a 6 x 11 in cast-iron base and a 35.5 in stainless rod at 0.50 in diameter. This extra-large kit has a bigger 12.5 x 8 in footprint and a longer 39.4 in rod, but that rod is 12 mm steel rather than stainless. Both share the 10 x 1.5 mm thread.
