A Vertical Recovery Adapter with Thermometer Port (also known as a Vertical Still Head) is a specialized 3-way connector. It allows you to mount a condenser vertically while simultaneously monitoring the temperature of the ascending vapour.

Key Features

  • Design: A vertical glass body with three distinct openings:
    • Top Joint (Socket): A smaller standard ground joint (usually 14/23) designed to hold a thermometer adapter.
    • Side-Arm Joint (Cone): An angled or vertical outlet that connects to the condenser.
    • Bottom Joint (Cone): Connects directly to the boiling flask or fractionating column
  • Material: Manufactured from high-quality Borosilicate Glass 3.3, providing high thermal shock and chemical resistance.
  • Joints: Equipped with precision ground-glass joints (typically Standard Taper) to create leak-free seals, which are critical for maintaining pressure or vacuum conditions.
  • Drip Tip: Many models include an integrated drip tip to ensure precise liquid handling and prevent "wicking" back into the ground joint.  
Core Applications
  • Solvent Recovery: Ideal for large-scale solvent reclaim in teaching, research, and industrial laboratories.
  • Distillation Assemblies: Acts as a bridge between the boiling flask and the rest of the apparatus in setups where space or equipment requires a vertical alignment.
  • Reflux Systems: Facilitates the return of condensed vapours to the boiling flask during reflux experiments.
  • Essential Oil Extraction: Used in specific extraction kits to guide vapours from biomass flasks into cooling zones.
