A bosshead, sometimes called clamp holder, is a metallic piece of labware used to hold various metal rods and extension clamps, like iron rings or other utility clamps.

General

Generally, made of plain steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium or zinc (zamak). Special types of bossheads have a bent shape, while others have a thermometer clamp.
