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.
DRILLING:
No charge for standard belt or chain drillings when order

on orders of less than 50 and/or special drill pattern requirements.
VENTING:
Available on request. Contact Tapco for recommendations.
USABLE CAPACITY:
Tapco recommends using 75% of gross,
(100%) capacity.
SPACING:
A common spacing would be nominal projection plus 4",
however both closer and greater spacings may be used depending
upon the application.
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
Can be intermixed with existing metallic or
nonmetallic buckets. Some care should be taken that the leg does
not become too far out of balance. Bucket projection varies by
manufacturer and material. Check elevator for proper clearances.

SIZES
STYLE AA
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’s standard impact modified nylon does not meet
requirements for FDA approval. FDA compliant nylon is available
by special order.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AA nylon buckets are ideal for use with foundry
sand, gravel, coal, fertilizer, clay salt, and many other industrial
materials.
LIMITATIONS:
Nylon buckets should not be used on the following:
(1) Materials over 275° F/ 135° C, (2) Sharp edged materials such
as crushed glass or oyster shells, (3) Some large dense materials
such as stone and ores.
CAUTION:
Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper
precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent
explosion. Tapco nylon buckets can be ignited and will burn from
improper welding and cutting.
IMPORTANT:
When elevating certain materials that harden or setup
with moisture, a Tapco metallic digger bucket should replace every
10th nylon bucket. In some instances ductile iron AA style buckets
will not have sufficient projection to protect the nylon bucket. It
will be necessary to use a pad or spacer behind the digger bucket.
