Quick answer: A Still Head (or Splash Head) connects a boiling flask to a condenser during distillation, using a splash-guard geometry to let vapor pass through while preventing liquid droplets from carrying over into the collected distillate. Still Heads/ Splash Heads is priced at approximately ₹430 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
The still head sits between the boiling flask and the condenser in a distillation setup, providing a passage for vapor to travel through toward condensation while its internal splash-guard shape blocks liquid droplets from being carried along with the vapor. This distinction matters because uncontrolled liquid carry-over can contaminate the distillate with the original mixture rather than the purified vapor-condensed product. Made from borosilicate glass with ground glass joints, it is a standard connector in modular distillation assemblies used throughout organic and analytical chemistry teaching and research laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a still head do in a distillation setup?
It connects the boiling flask to the condenser and its splash-guard geometry blocks liquid droplets from carrying over with the vapor, helping keep the distillate free of contamination from the original mixture.
What joint size does this still head use?
Exact joint size has not been independently verified for this listing — confirm compatibility with your distillation setup with STEMAids before ordering.
Is this suitable for a college chemistry teaching lab?
Yes — still heads are a standard connector in distillation setups used throughout organic and analytical chemistry coursework.
Is ‘still head’ the same as ‘splash head’?
