www.tapcoinc.comSTYLE:
CC-HD (Heavy Duty) and U-HD (Heavy Duty).
DESIGN:
High speed centrifugal discharge.
MATERIAL:
Prime virgin impact modified nylon.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURE:
Injection molded.
COLOR:
Gray
TEMPERATURE RANGE:
-40°F to + 275°F/-40°C to + 135°C.
FLAMMABILITY:
The impact modified nylon used in Tapco buckets
is termed “slow burning”. It has been tested under Underwriters’
Laboratory Bulletin No. 94 HB. The primary toxic product of
combustion is carbon monoxide.
STANDARD DRILLING:
No Charge.
SPECIAL DRILLING:
Any pattern and hole diameter can be provided
at minimal cost.
VENTING:
Available in five standard patterns. Refer to the Tapco catalog
section on Venting.
USABLE CAPACITY:
Net or usable capacity could range from 10% to
20%above water level. For engineering purposes Tapco recommends
using WL (Water Level) + 10% for usable capacity.
SPACING:
Minimum bucket spacing has historically been nominal
projection plus 2". Many style CC buckets, however, are being used
at projection plus 1", and some even closer. For engineering purposes
Tapco recommends using nominal projection plus 2".
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
Can be intermixed with existing steel or
nonmetallic buckets. Some consideration should be given to balance.
Bucket projection varies by manufacturer andmaterial. Check elevator
for proper clearances. Contact Tapco for recommendations

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
INSTALLATION:
Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock nuts are
recommended for pulleys 6" in diameter and over. No. 3, Eclipse slotted
head elevator bolts are recommended for pulleys under 6" in diameter.
Flat steel washers must be placed inside the bucket under the
nuts.
Check elevator for proper clearances.
FDA STATUS:
Tapco standard impact modified nylon does not meet
requirements for FDA approval. FDA compliant nylon is available by
special order.
UV RESISTANCE:
No UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers are added to Tapco
buckets because most elevator buckets are enclosed in casings.
Tapco buckets should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Nylon buckets are extremely strong. They are
unsurpassed in rough or severe service elevators. The outstanding
abrasion resistant characteristics make this an excellent bucket for
grain, soybeans, feeds, fertilizer, chemicals, sand and other free-
flowing products.
LIMITATIONS:
Nylon buckets should not be used in the following: (1)
Materials over 275°F/135°C. (2) Large dense material such as gravel
and ore over 3/8" diameter. (3) Some sharp sluggish materials such
as large glass cullet or oyster shells.
CAUTION:
Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper
precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent explosion.
Nylon buckets can be ignited and will burn from improper welding
and cutting.
IMPORTANT:
When elevating certain materials that harden or set up
with moisture, a Tapco steel digger bucket should replace every 10th
nylon bucket. See Digger Bucket page for specifications.
