Steel Pails with Plugs (Bungs)
Yankee Containers sells a variety of steel pails. Our tight head or closed head steel pails are meant for liquids and, obviously, must have some type of closure. We sell some steel pails, or drums, with Rieke openings. This type of pail needs a separate closure which must be crimped on, however, this may not be the type of pail you are looking for. We also sell steel pails with plugs or bungs. These closures are included with the pail. The four pails on this page are all UN rated pails with bungs, therefore, we provide instructions on both our packing list and invoice on how to torque the closures to keep the UN rating valid. An example of the closing instructions for our CSCP2-06-01 are as follows:
24GA STEEL, 1 COAT EPOXY/PHENOLIC LINED
2″ RIEKE TITEGRIP STEEL PLUG WITH WHITE
EPT GASKET.
UN1A1/Y1.8/250
49CFR178.2(c) NOTIFICATION
TORQUE 2″ PLUG TO 30 FT-LBS
To close these bungs properly, you would need to use a preset torque wrench set to the particular Ft-Lbs needed. We can provide these wrenches for you, if required.
A word on baked on steel pail linings can be found here. As always, we suggest you ask for a sample so that you can test the compatibility of your product with the lining chosen.
