Description
  • The rods of a draining rack: These Burkle rods are the pegs of a laboratory draining rack, the type of rack that holds glassware and labware upside down so it can drain and dry after washing. Each rod supports an inverted vessel, letting water run off and air circulate around the piece. Having rods in more than one size lets a single rack handle a realistic mix of laboratory glassware, from small vials and beakers to taller or wider-mouth vessels.
  • Two sizes for different vessels: The group offers two rod sizes: 100 mm long by 10 mm in diameter, and 60 mm long by 6 mm in diameter. The larger, longer rod suits taller or wider-mouth vessels that need more support and clearance, while the shorter, thinner rod suits smaller items that would be awkward or unstable on a large peg. Matching the rod to the vessel keeps glassware secure and well positioned while it dries.
  • Replacement and expansion: Because rods can be lost or damaged over the life of a rack, these serve equally well as replacements and as additions that expand a rack's capacity. Restoring a full complement of rods, or adding the right sizes for new glassware, keeps a draining rack fully functional and tailored to what the laboratory actually washes, extending the useful life of the rack rather than replacing the whole unit.
  • Confirming fit and material: These are components for a Burkle draining rack and are intended to work with compatible Burkle racks. Because configurations vary, it is worth confirming that the rod size and fitment match your specific rack before ordering. The listing states the rod dimensions but not the material, which is set by the manufacturer; if material matters for chemical compatibility, LabPro can confirm the specification with Burkle.

FAQs

What are these rods used for?

They are the rods, or pegs, of a laboratory draining rack, which holds washed glassware and labware upside down so it can drain and dry. Rods of different sizes let the rack support a range of vessels, holding each piece securely while air circulates and water runs off.

What sizes are available?

The group offers two rod sizes: 100 mm long by 10 mm in diameter, and 60 mm long by 6 mm in diameter. The larger rod suits taller or wider-mouth vessels, while the shorter, thinner rod suits smaller items, so you can match the rod to what you are drying.

Are these replacement parts?

These are rods for a Burkle draining rack and can serve as replacements or as additions to expand a rack's capacity. If a rod is lost or damaged, or you need to support additional vessels, ordering the matching rod size restores or extends the rack's function.

Will these fit my rack?

They are designed as Burkle draining-rack components, so they are intended for compatible Burkle racks. Because configurations vary, confirm that the rod size and fitment match your specific rack before ordering, and contact the supplier if you are unsure which rods your rack uses.

What material are the rods?

The listing provides the rod dimensions but does not state the material, which is set by the manufacturer. If the material matters for your application, for example for chemical compatibility, contact LabPro so they can confirm the specification from Burkle before you order the rods.
