IMPORTANT NOTES:

The G40 & G70 Distilling Lid is designed primarily for small to medium-sized still heads that do not have heavy, off-centre attachments. The lid is reasonably flexible and is sturdy enough to fit a still head that is within the following specifications:

A still head height up to 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the lid.
A still head weight up to 11 kg (24 lbs), including up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs) of off-centre weight from a swan neck, lyne arm, or condenser running in parallel with the column and offset up to 160 mm (6") to the main column.
We recommend external support if:

Your still exceeds the above specifications.
The lyne arm is not vertical but angled or perpendicular running away from the column, resulting in significantly distant off-centre weight.
If the main still head (column) is noticeably leaning.
