Thermometer Adapters

In a simple distillation apparatus, the thermomter adapter connects to the top of the distillation head.

There are two parts to the thermometer adapter:a glass taper grounded joint or two at bottom and a compression cap for fitting thermometer or a 10/18 thermomter joint a top.

The thermometer fits in a hole of the cap and can be adjusted upward and downward by sliding it in the hole.

The distillation temperature can be monitored most accurately by using a partial immersion thermomter.
