Rieke® FlexSpout Crimping Tools

Several of our steel pails are tight head, or closed head, pails with a Rieke opening. A list of these pails can be found below. The closing instructions for these pails can be found on our packing lists and our invoices. Those instructions read as follows: 49CFR 178.2 (c) Notification Use Rieke Flexspout Closure Crimp with Rieke Crimping Tool Check Crimp with Gage#G101-1. More detailed instructions can be found below:
- Place the container securely on a flat surface
- Place the Rieke FlexSpout in the opening at the top of the pail
- Use the Rieke Hand Crimping Tool (FS-600) to seal the FlexSpout to the opening
- Place the Rieke Hand Crimping Tool evenly over the fitting at the top of the container
- In the resting position, the handles of the tool should be at approximately a 45 degree angle to the top of the container
- Grip both handles with each hand and apply an even downward movement until the handles are in a position parallel with the top of the container
- It is important that the tool is resting evenly on the fitting when applying the crimp. A “cocking” or tilting of the tool will result in an improper seal and will cause leakage or contamination of the container’s contents.
- A Rieke Gage (G101-1) can be used to check the crimp of the fitting to the pail. If a proper crimp was made, the gage should pass freely over the fitting
