Standard Can Design
The standard empty can configuration provides a practical container for compatible joining materials and application accessories. Its necked opening allows the can to be paired with appropriately matched caps, daubers, brushes, or other accessories.
The can should be inspected before use and kept clean to help avoid contamination. Always verify that the container is suitable for the specific material being handled.
1-3/4" Neck Configuration
The 1-3/4" neck opening is an important selection detail when matching the can to compatible applicators and closures. Accessories should be chosen specifically for the stated neck configuration to help ensure proper fit.
Confirm the neck size before ordering replacement caps, daubers, brushes, or other accessories. Using the correct mating configuration helps support practical handling and application.
Accessory Compatibility
Standard Empty Cans can be used with compatible application accessories designed for the corresponding neck configuration. Depending on the application, these may include cap brushes, daubers, or other joining-product accessories.
The accessory should be matched not only to the 1-3/4" neck, but also to the material and application procedure being used. Confirm compatibility before transferring material into the container.
Material Handling & Selection
The empty can should be used only with materials for which the container and accessory combination are suitable. Container selection should consider material compatibility, required capacity, application method, and worksite handling requirements.
Follow the applicable product instructions for storage, transfer, application, and cleanup. Do not combine or transfer materials in a way that conflicts with the instructions for the joining product being used.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 1-3/4" neck size.
