Product code F21-ACR
A compliance component rather than an accessory. The United States requires a child-resistant closure on portable fuel containers, and without one the fuel range cannot be sold there.
| Product code | F21-ACR |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Child-resistant closure for portable fuel containers |

Before you order: Compliance is certified per closure and per container design. We will tell you exactly what we hold and what we do not before you commit to a US programme.
Without a compliant closure a fuel can cannot lawfully be sold into the United States. It is the gate, not an upgrade.
The requirement is a mechanical design that a child cannot open and an adult can. It has to be engineered and tested, not declared.
Any manufacturer facing the same requirement needs the same part. The closure is a product in its own right.
Compliance attaches to a specific closure on a specific can. Confirm the certificate covers your combination before importing.
Steel holders, brackets and strap systems tooled to our own can geometry, for vehicle, trailer and wall mounting.
Rigid European pattern, flexible long-nose and auto-shutoff spouts, matched to the neck they actually screw into.
Vented and non-vented caps in DIN 45, 51 and 61, tamper-evident closures, cap liners and replacement gaskets.
Brass, stainless and polymer taps, plus breather valves, for turning a can into a static dispensing point.
Strap, buckle and ratchet kits that hold a can in its holder over rough ground, sold to our own holder geometry.
Flame arresters for portable fuel containers, the second component the United States requires and the one a standard NATO can does not have.
Adapters and couplings for drawing from a drum or IBC down into a jerry can, so the decanting step has a fitting rather than a funnel.
