Use this sturdy, safe and easily portable 1 gal (4 L) wash tank (model 27711), made of 24-gauge steel, to simply dip and rinse parts with combustible liquid solvents. A parts basket (model 27901) comes with the wash tank for cleaning smaller parts. A wash tank is particularly useful for volumes of work that do not warrant a larger rinse tank or a single large part. This wash tank has an exterior height of 10 in (25.4 cm) and an outer diameter of 9.375 in (23.8 cm). Model 27711 is red and weighs 5.2 lb (2.4 kg). It is FM Approved and TUV Certified. Safely cleaning parts are required across a wide variety of manufacturing, maintenance, repair, construction and lab sites including, but not limited to the steel, automotive, airline, agriculture, food, paper and chemical industries. To use, fill the wash tank with your cleaning solvent of choice, then place items in the parts basket. Use the handle to dip the basket into the wash tank and remove it when done cleaning and rinsing. Take note that the parts basket fits wash tanks and dip tanks with the same Dimensions/Type/Hand Holes Included. However, the liquid capacities for the wash tanks and dip tanks differ because of the liquid displaced by the basket. For a replacement parts basket, use Replacement Parts Basket for 2 gal Dip Tank & 1 gal Wash Tank, Steel - 27901. Wash tank covers stay open for convenient access during cleaning operations. Always keep tanks closed when not in use. For added safety, there is a self-closing mechanism and fusible link that melts at 165 deg F (74 deg C) to snap the cover shut in case of fire.
