Same quality and grades of rods

More choices in types of rods including SOLID STAINLESS STEEL, TUBULAR STAINLESS STEEL, SOLID ALUMINUM AND FIBERGLASS. Rotocon has more than 150 different models of Lab Frame Kits, plus we can cut rods for your custom order.

Our connectors, DIE-CAST ZINC ALLOY (RT-1/2) and ALUMINUM ALLOY (SRTL-1/2) are second to none. There will be no scratches or scores on rods due to set-screws because Rotocon's specialty clamps use "all-around" clamping which leaves no marks and securely connects rods at precise 10 or 15 degree increments according to the size clamp chosen.

Rotocon Anchors or Feet are made of DIE-CAST ZINC ALLOY (M-90) and ALUMINUM ALLOY (FL). They fasten the apparatus to your base platform easily and securely.

Detailed assembly instructions with photos accompany each model sold.

Intervals between rods on all models are approximately one foot.

Do you like one of our models but find that it is a few inches too wide or too tall to fit in your allotted space? Let us know and we'll cut the rods to size at no extra charge. (We keep and sell the cut-off pieces to offset the cost of cutting, deburring and smoothing ends).

SUPPORT TRIANGLES FOR LAB FRAMES

In construction of the non-wall-mounted lab frames you should make a support triangle on each side. Our assembly instructions will guide you through these steps but is included here for general information. Since Rotocon clamps are set for either 10 or 15 degree increments of rotation, according to the size of the clamps, the chart below will help you find a compatible fit for the triangle without using the trial and error method.

1) Determine where you want the apex of the triangle on the vertical rod.

2) Measure in inches from that point down the vertical rod to the lower clamp that connects the horizontal side of the triangle.

3) Look up your measurement number in the first column of the chart labeled "Vertical Rod". The row beside each number gives the possible angles and lengths of the long diagonal side and the lower horizontal side of the right angle triangle.

4) Measure each to ensure that the rods that came with your kit are not too long or too short.

5) Mark the vertical and horizontal rods at the points of attachment and then attach the long diagonal rod so that the "teeth" of the clamps mesh properly.
