Peg Board, Euro, Stainless Steel, for Pharma & Lab

Quick Answer: The Peg Board, Euro, Stainless Steel, for Pharma & Lab is a wall-mounted stainless steel peg board on which washed flasks, cylinders, bottles and tubes hang mouth-down to drain, suited to pharmaceutical wash areas and busy teaching labs.

Built for Hard-Working Wash Areas

In pharmaceutical QC labs and production wash rooms, drying equipment copes with constant wetting, detergents, disinfectants and warm glassware, and it must be easy to show clean during inspections. Stainless steel meets those demands: it resists corrosion in wet use, tolerates heat, and its smooth surface can be wiped with the same disinfectants used on other wash-area surfaces.

Like other Euro-design boards, it carries pegs in a regular pattern, usually angled slightly upwards so items stay on while they drain. Hung mouth-down, flasks and cylinders drain into the sink or a tray below while air circulates inside them. Because steel does not soften with heat, glassware still warm from hot-water rinsing can go straight onto the pegs.

Compared with the acrylic Euro peg board, the stainless steel peg board is heavier and needs firmer wall fixing, but it stands up better to heat, solvents and knocks. Where a free-standing option is preferred, a plastic draining rack can sit on the drainer instead.

Care & Handling

• Mount it on masonry or a solid partition with anchors rated for the loaded weight.
• Clean with detergent and water, then rinse; chloride cleaners and bleach left on stainless steel can cause pitting.
• Wipe the panel dry at the end of the day where hard water leaves scale.
• Hang tall cylinders and flasks on the lower rows, so they do not project over the sink tap.

Suitable Settings

• Draining glassware in pharmaceutical QC and microbiology wash rooms.
• Drying volumetric flasks, cylinders and bottles in pharmacy college labs.
• Wash-up areas in hospital and food-testing labs where frequent disinfection is routine.
• Teaching labs where the board will face heavy daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose stainless steel for a glassware drying board?

Stainless steel resists corrosion in constantly wet conditions, tolerates heat and can be cleaned with the disinfectants used elsewhere in a wash area. It has no coating to chip or peel, which suits labs with strict hygiene routines.

Can warm glassware be hung on the steel pegs?

Yes. Unlike plastic, steel does not soften at the temperatures of hot-water rinsing or a drying oven. Take care handling hot glass, and let very hot items cool until they can be handled safely.

Will the board rust?

Stainless steel resists rust in normal use, but chloride cleaners, bleach or salt residues left on it can cause spots or pitting. Rinse after using such cleaners and wipe the board dry where hard water leaves deposits.

What does Euro design mean for a peg board?

In these listings Euro refers to the modern European style of lab fittings: a flat board with pegs set in a regular grid, rather than an older wooden board with fixed dowels. The layout gives even spacing and an easily cleaned surface.

How should the peg board be fixed to the wall?

Use anchors and screws suited to the wall material and the weight of wet glassware, with the board level and positioned over the sink or a drip tray. On partition walls, fix into studs or use cavity anchors rated for the load.

How do I stop glassware slipping off the pegs?

Choose a peg that fits inside the neck with a little room, hang each item fully onto its peg and put heavy flasks on the lower rows. Narrow-necked flasks sit most securely on the thinner pegs.
