Vacuum Containers

Also known as vacuum degassing chambers, these remove trapped air from mixtures such as paint and mold resins. The fittings on the hose contain a gasket that allows you to connect the hose to flared fittings.

Aluminum containers are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and good for general use.

Acrylic lids are more durable than glass lids. They’re commonly used to eliminate air bubbles in hard setting materials, such as silicone and polyurethane.

Replacement lids do not include hardware or seal.

ASME-Code Compressed Air Storage Tanks

Horizontal

Horizontal with Mounting Plate

Vertical

These tanks have drain ports on the bottom to remove condensation. All other ports can be used as inlets or outlets in any configuration.

Tanks with mounting plate have a platform where you can secure motors, pumps, and other components.

Steel tanks are primed or powder coated for exterior corrosion resistance. Epoxy-lined steel tanks also resist interior corrosion that can result from moisture in your compressed air.

Stainless steel tanks are more corrosion resistant than steel tanks.

Safety regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Note: Per ASME code, all tanks are water tested. Those made without a corrosion-resistant coating or material will have rust on the interior.

High-Pressure ASME-Code Compressed Air Storage Tanks

Horizontal

Able to withstand pressures up to 600 psi, these tanks store compressed air for use in high-pressure applications. They’re made of steel that's primed to resist exterior corrosion. Tanks have drain ports on the bottom to remove condensation. All other ports can be used as inlets or outlets in any configuration. Safety regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Note: Per ASME code, all tanks are water tested and will have rust on the interior.

Expansion Tanks for Water

Use these tanks to accommodate the expansion of heated water and provide a cushion of compressed air in closed water-heating systems. They prevent water loss by eliminating the need to expel hot water from systems during each heating cycle.

Galvanized steel tanks are hot-dipped for maximum corrosion resistance.

Parts Washers for Solvent-Based Solutions

Use these washers with solvent-based cleaning solutions that have a flash point above 105° F. Turn on the pump and solution will flow to the flexible metal spigot. A fusible link closes the cover in the event of a fire. Note: Do not use with flammable liquids.

Washer with hardwire electrical connection requires a NEMA 6-15 or compatible plug.

Washers with filter remove large particles to keep the solution cleaner longer.

Mobile Electric Sprayers

Wheel these electric-powered sprayers wherever needed to disinfect surfaces and equipment in bathrooms, schools, gyms, and worksites without any manual pumping. Their wheels won’t leave streaks on your floors and they have a brake to keep them in place. Fill these sprayers with liquid disinfectants that kill bacteria, viruses, and other germs that cause disease. But, do not use them with oil-based or flammable products. Check the liquid level in the semi-clear tank to know when it’s time to refill; a full tank should give about three and a half hours of run time. The wand is light enough to hold with only one hand, and the nozzle releases disinfectant as a fine mist to coat surfaces evenly. To disinfect hard-to-reach spots and access multiple areas without unplugging and moving these sprayers, they come with a 25 ft. long hose. They also have an inline strainer to prevent clogs.

Note: The material of the parts can affect a sprayer's compatibility with a chemical or solution. Make sure that all parts of the sprayer are suitable for your application.
