Proper UN Pail Crimping


UN pail crimp


A preferred pail crimp sees the flowed-in gasket fully compressed because the cover is completely tucked when the angle is less than 90°.

An acceptable pail crimp has a slightly less compression as the cover’s tuck is at (or a little less than) 90°.

Unacceptable pail crimps have a closing angle greater than 90° resulting in a flowed-in gasket that is not fully compressed.
