Paint Type Can Design
The paint-type can configuration provides a familiar container style for handling compatible joining materials during piping installation. Its open-container design can provide convenient access when using an appropriately sized applicator.
The required container size should be selected according to the amount of material being handled and the applicator being used. Always verify that the container is suitable for the specific material before transferring or storing any product.
Joining Material Handling
Empty Paint Type Cans can provide a separate working container for compatible solvent cement, primer, or related joining materials when permitted by the applicable product instructions. Material handling procedures should follow the requirements established for the specific joining product.
Keep the container and application area clean to help prevent contamination of the material. Do not mix different joining products unless specifically permitted by the applicable manufacturer instructions.
Applicator Compatibility
The container opening and size should provide suitable access for the swab, roller, or other approved applicator being used. Applicator dimensions and the amount of joining material required can affect the appropriate container selection.
Confirm the applicator configuration before selecting a container for a specific installation. Adequate access helps support controlled application while reducing unnecessary handling of the joining material.
Jobsite Use & Selection
Empty Paint Type Cans can help organize compatible joining materials where a separate application container is appropriate. Container selection should consider the material, applicator, required capacity, work area, and applicable handling instructions.
Joining materials should always be handled according to their individual product requirements. Review the appropriate product documentation before transferring material from its original container or using a separate application container.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the required can size.
- Verify material compatibility.
- Check applicator compatibility.
- Keep the container clean.
