My glassware source does not have this item, just wondering if anyone can suggest a way to make my own?

This is the document that recommends the use of this:

also this is an image i found on the net of a steam distillation set up. is this appropriate?

where is the long tube on the far left attached to? nothing?

A pressure cooker will be used to generate the steam, so i suppose it doesn't really matter

If you don't need superheated steam just generate the steam insitu.
Much easier and no relief tube , inlet tube and remote boiler needed.
Add the extra water manually or drip it in.

Splash heads are nice but a little loose packing accomplishes the same thing or an insulated Claisen is what I use with the vertical arm for addition.

If you let people know what glassware is in your inventory, then it might make things easier to help you.
