In addition to specialized glassware and tools, there are several other considerations required for the setup of a distillation apparatus.
Before assembling a distillation apparatus, lubricate the ground glass joints of each piece of glassware using _. This helps seal the connection between two components. Once two components are fit together, use to make the connections secure. Stabilize the complete distillation setup using a _.

Distillation is being used while separating liquids from the nonvolatile solids, or in instance whereby there is a different boiling point between two or more liquids.

Before assembling a distillation apparatus, lubricate the ground glass joints of each piece of glassware using grease. This will help in lubricating the glass joints so that it won't squeeze out while under pressure.

This helps seal the connection between two components. Once two components are fit together, use clamp to make the connections secure. Clamp is a fastening device which will help in holding the components together so that they won't be separated.

Stabilize the complete distillation setup using a ring stand. The ring stand will help in the provision of support to the glassware.
