Still Heads, Recovery Bend
Still Heads � Recovery Bend are precision laboratory glass components used in distillation assemblies to direct vapour or condensate from the boiling flask to the condenser. Available in Sloping (Elbow) and Vertical variants, these still heads feature standard ground glass cone fittings for secure connection with flasks and condensers.

Product Details
Still Heads � Recovery Bend are essential components of laboratory distillation systems, designed to connect the distillation flask to the condenser while efficiently directing vapour flow. Manufactured from high-quality, chemically resistant glass, these still heads ensure durability, transparency, and compatibility with standard laboratory glassware.
The precision-ground cone fittings provide tight, leak-free connections with both the boiling flask and the condenser, ensuring stable and efficient distillation performance.
Variant Details:
Sloping (Elbow) Recovery Bend:
The sloping or elbow-type still head is designed with an angled vapour path, allowing smooth redirection of vapours into the condenser. This configuration is commonly used in standard and fractional distillation setups where angular alignment improves condensate flow and apparatus layout flexibility.
Vertical Recovery Bend:
The vertical still head features a straight, upright vapour path, providing direct alignment between the flask and condenser. This design is preferred in compact or vertically arranged distillation assemblies where space efficiency and straight-line vapour transfer are required.
These still heads are suitable for:
- Simple and fractional distillation
- Recovery and purification of solvents
- Chemical synthesis and separation processes
- Academic, research, and industrial laboratories
Available in a range of standard ground glass cone sizes including 14/23, 19/26, 24/29, 29/32, and 34/35, still heads with recovery bend integrate seamlessly into modular laboratory distillation systems.
Still heads � recovery bend combine efficient vapour transfer, reliable joint compatibility, and robust glass construction, making them indispensable components of laboratory distillation assemblies.
