The Eagle Type I galvanized steel safety can with funnel is used
to store, transport, and dispense flammable liquids safely and
comes with a funnel to facilitate filling and pouring. The can is
made of 24-gauge galvanized steel, which is resistant to rust,
dents, and certain s. Gauge is a measure of thickness
(the lower the gauge, the thicker the material). The
powder-coated finish resists scratches, chipping, fading, and
other wear. A flame arrestor helps prevent liquids inside the can
from igniting and keep flames from spreading. The spout cap
self-closes to help prevent leaks or spills. The cap assembly
opens automatically to vent internal vapors. A trilingual safety
warning label alerts users to the can's contents. The funnel is
made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which is resistant to
dents, punctures, and certain s. This safety can may be
available in different colors (blue for kerosene, green for oil
or other combustibles, red for oline, or yellow for diesel) to
separate, store, and identify different liquids. This product is
FM Approved as a safety can used for handling flammable liquids
in quantities of 5 gallons or less. It complies with Occupational
Safety and Administration (OSHA) Standard 1910.106 for the
safe storage and handling of flammable liquids. It meets National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 30, which provides
safeguards to reduce the hazards associated with the storage,
handling, and use of flammable and combustible liquids. It is
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Listed and meets UL safety
requirements.
Hazardous storage cans are used to safely store, transport, and
dispense flammable or hazardous liquids. They are typically made
of polyethylene, 24-gauge galvanized steel, or 24-gauge stainless
steel. (Gauge is a measure of thickness; the lower the gauge, the
thicker the material.) Hazardous storage cans come in a variety
of styles, such as Type I cans, which have a single spout for
filling and pouring, and Type II cans, which have a flexible
metal hose for pouring and a second opening for filling. They are
often color-coded for different liquids (for instance, red cans
for oline, blue cans for kerosene, yellow cans for diesel
fuel, or green cans for oil). Other common features include flame
arrestors, which help prevent the liquid inside the can from
igniting, and seam welds, which help prevent leaks. Certain
hazardous storage cans are FM Approved, and many meet National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Occupational Safety and
Administration (OSHA) standards for the storage and
handling of flammable liquids. Hazardous storage cans are used in
a variety of commercial and industrial environments and can also
be suitable for home use.
