The flex spout Eagle FD-25-SX5 is a flexible spout 12" long and 5/8" in diameter for use with Type II safety cans from Eagle (sold separately) to facilitate pouring.
Made of steel, the spout is resistant to rust and wear.
Hazardous storage cans are used to safely store, transport, and dispense flammable or hazardous liquids.
Typically, they are 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.) A variety of styles exist for hazardous storage cans, 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.
Often, they are 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 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 Health Administration (OSHA) standards for the storage and handling of flammable liquids.
Used in a variety of commercial and industrial environments, hazardous storage cans 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.
Founded in 1894, the company is headquartered in Wellsburg, VA.
