The mantle of choice for repetitive extracting, refluxing, and distilling. This new version, a lower-profile mantle, incorporates a revolutionary heating element container system which allows the user to easily replace an element in a matter of minutes. The new style eliminates the need to tear down the whole system of glassware just to replace one element. Mantles are supplied complete with: glassware support superstructure consisting of two upright rods, two horizontal rods and four double-sided, open face clamps.

The combo mantle is available with your choice of two control types: percentage timer or proportional voltage. The percentage-timer version pulses full-line voltage to each heating position according to the dial setting. The proportional-voltage version supplies a constant, steady-state voltage to each position. The six place mantle requires two three-place controls that can be mounted together or separately.

Glas-Col heating tapes are ribbon-type heating elements running length wise in the tape and encased in durable glass braid and impregnated and covered with tough silicone rubber, which insulates stranded terminal leads at one end and waterproofs fittings at both ends.  Heating tapes are ideal for use in high moisture areas, are resistant to most laboratory environmental conditions, and easily pass a 1,000V test for electrical insulation.  Temperature limit 480°F/249°C
