Tight Head Steel Pails – Lined, Unlined and Composite

Our tight head steel pails are available with Rieke openings, with a screw cap and spout or with plugs (bungs). The pails with Rieke openings have a hole that is covered with a dust cap to keep dirt out. A Rieke flexspout is required to be crimped onto the pail once it is filled with product. More information on Rieke Flexspouts may be found in this article. We also have one steel pail with a 2 1/8″ screwcap and spout. More detailed information on this pail can be found in this article. Our third style of pail has bungs, or plugs, that are included with the pail. We stock one pail with a 2″ bung and two pails with both a 2″ and a 3/4″ bung. There is also a brief description to the right of each pail with more details. As always, compatibility of the product with the container is the responsibility of the shipper. Please call for a sample for testing with your product.

This black steel pail is a composite pail with a plastic liner. The liners are produced separately from the pail and hand assembled. The pail takes a Rieke Flexspout (sold separately) which must be attached with a special crimping tool. The pail comes with a dust cap which is removed and the pail is then filled. When the Flexspout is applied, it seals the liner to the pail, as well as sealing the spout to the pail. There is small hole in the side of the pail which allows any air between the liner and bladder to be forced out.
