Techcon 918-032-000 12 Oz Slotted Aluminum Cartridge Retainer

Description

12 oz retainer TEC-918-032-000 is a Techcon aluminum cartridge sleeve for 12 oz dispensing cartridges. Techcon describes cartridge retainers as sleeves that enclose the plastic cartridge and connect to a retainer cap or dispensing gun. This slotted 12 oz version lets operators view fluid level while supporting dispensing pressure up to 100 psi.

12 oz retainer Applications

• Holds 12 oz cartridges during manual or air-powered dispensing work.
• Twist-locks into compatible Techcon retainer caps or dispensing guns.
• Viewing slot helps operators monitor material level while the cartridge is enclosed.
• Aluminum body supports repeated use in production and maintenance areas.
• Useful for adhesives, sealants, greases, compounds, and other cartridge-packed fluids.

The retainer is part of the dispensing hardware, not the disposable material package. It should be matched with the correct 12 oz cartridge, plunger, cap, and gun before a filled cartridge reaches the bench. A proper sleeve fit helps keep the cartridge aligned and gives the operator a better connection point to the dispensing tool.

12 oz retainer Setup Notes

Inspect the retainer before use for dents, thread damage, or residue that could interfere with cartridge seating. Slide in the correct 12 oz cartridge, confirm the cap or gun connection, and check that the viewing slot is positioned where the operator can see the material level during use.

Do not exceed the process pressure or use a sleeve with damaged locking features. If dispensing pressure rises unexpectedly, stop and check for blocked nozzles, cured material, or mismatched cartridge hardware. Keep the retainer clean between jobs so dried material does not affect fit.
