Closed Top Metal Buckets
The term closed head, closed top or tight head refers to the top of the bucket being fixed and only accessible through an opening which is typically 2 inches or 3/4 inches in diameter (some styles have both size openings). Sizes range from 1 to 7 gallons and are available lined or unlined.
Our lined closed head buckets are stocked in epoxy-phenolic blend linings and straight phenolic linings.
Information on Polyethylene lined buckets is listed here under Composite metal buckets.
Open Top Metal Buckets
The term open head or open top refers to the top of the bucket being completely open. The cover of the bucket is secured to the bucket body with a ring that has a nut and bolt or lever-lock mechanism. Some cover styles have lugs which are crimped down around the sides of the pail thus elimating the need for a separate ring type closure. Sizes range from 2 to 6.5 gallons and are available lined or unlined.
Our lined open head pails are stocked in epoxy-phenolic blend linings and straight phenolic linings.
