TLC-555 & TGC-545
DRIP FREE SUCTION CUPS
DESCRIPTION
Models:
■
TLC-555 – One quart capacity,
Non-stick coating lined cup
TGC-545 – One quart capacity
These drip free suction cups have a unique, two position valve which
permits selection of either a drip free spraying mode or a conventional
open vent mode.
In the drip free position, air is directed through the vent in the lid to a
channel beneath the lid gasket before entering the cup at the valve. This
allows the cup to be tilted when full without dripping paint through the
vent. The cup can also be inverted while spraying without leaking.
The open position isolates the channel and opens a direct vent into the cup.
The position of the valve is indicated by alignment of the hole in the valve
slot with the marks cast on the lid. These positions are identified as "O"
for vent open and
"D/F"
for Drip Free.
Note
Non-stick Coating Lined Cup - Only use a wooden or plastic paddle
or mixer for mixing material in the cup (7). A metal paddle or mixer
can scratch the non-stick coating.
Note
For Non-stick Coating Lined Paint Cups, variation in the color of
the non-stick coating is normal. This variation is the result of the
normal production process used with this type of coating. We have
selected this particular grade of non-stick coating because it provides
the best
overall performance and
maximum durability
possible.
OPERATION
Open Vent Mode
"O"- To operate in the open vent mode, rotate the
valve with a screwdriver or coin so that the hole in the valve slot is aligned
with the "O" on the lid. See Figure 2.
If the valve slot hole should plug while operating in the "O" vent mode,
use a pointed tool such as a nail or drill bit to probe through the valve
slot hole to clear away the obstruction.
Figure 2 – Open Vent Mode
Drip Free Mode
"D/F" – To operate in the drip free mode, rotate the
valve with a screwdriver or coin so that the hole in the valve slot is aligned
with the "D/F" on the lid. See Fig. 3
Do not probe through the channel vent hole at any time. Do
not probe through the valve slot hole while the valve is in the
"D/F" position. These holes are sealed by a gasket and
gasket damage could result. See Figs. 2 & 3.
