The galvanized steel plunger safety can from Eagle is used to safely store, transport, and dispense flammable liquids.
It has a pump assembly with a dasher plate and a flame arrestor.
Made of galvanized steel, the can is resistant to rust, dents, and certain chemicals.
The red powder-coated finish resists scratches, chipping, fading, and other wear.
When pushed, the dasher plate dispenses a small amount of liquid, enabling the user to moisten a sponge or rag for cleaning.
A flame arrestor helps prevent igniting liquids inside the can and keeps flames from spreading.
The dasher plate measures 5-1/4 inches in diameter.
The flame arrestor is made of brass, which is resistant to wear, heat, fire, and corrosion.
This product is FM Approved as a safety can for handling flammable liquids in quantities of five gallons or less.
It complies with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard 1910.106 for the safe storage and handling of flammable liquids.
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 gasoline, blue cans for kerosene, yellow cans for diesel fuel, or green cans for oil).
Other common features include flame arrestors, which help prevent igniting the liquid inside the can, 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 Health 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.
Eagle Manufacturing Company manufactures industrial safety, haz-mat, and storage products that meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for quality assurance.
