TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
NOTE: Uline does not ship containers to customers with closures secured to compliance specifications. It
is the responsibility of the individual who fills the container to ensure the container is in UN compliance
before shipping. Contact Uline with questions regarding proper closing methods.
CAUTION! Use only the plugs and gaskets supplied with the drums. Insert and tighten all plugs into their
appropriate threaded flanges until snug. Using a torque wrench, tighten each fitting to the correct torque.
Torque is based on the manufacturer's closure recommendations. Drums closed in this manner meet the
UN performance-oriented packaging standards test requirements for the container markings shipped.
CAUTION! After filling and prior to transport, the shipper should check the closures to determine if closures
need to be tightened due to heating, cooling or gasket relaxation.
