RG300-12 - Best Welds Blue Rod Guard Canister 12-Pack for 36-inch TIG Wire

Industrial Grade Filler Metal Protection

The Best Welds RG300-12 (equivalent to BW36-BLU) offers a comprehensive inventory management solution for professional welding environments. This package contains twelve (12) individual blue storage canisters, engineered specifically to house and protect 36-inch cut lengths of TIG welding wire and brazing rods. Maintaining the surface integrity of filler metals is critical for achieving X-ray quality welds, particularly when working with sensitive alloys such as aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel which are prone to porosity caused by hydrogen and oxide contamination.

Constructed from high-density, high-impact polyethylene, each canister features a nominal wall thickness of 0.100 inches, providing substantial resistance to physical impact, abrasion, and common industrial chemicals. The structural integrity of the canister ensures that rods remain straight and undamaged during transport and storage. Central to its performance is the threaded cap assembly, which integrates a long-lasting neoprene washer. When tightened, this seal creates an airtight barrier that effectively prevents the ingress of atmospheric moisture, dust, and oil mist, thereby extending the shelf life of the consumables inside.

The canister design allows for the exposure of rod tips upon cap removal, facilitating quick identification and access without dumping the contents. With a capacity of approximately 10 lbs per unit, this 12-pack allows facility managers to implement a color-coded or labeled organization system for a wide range of wire diameters and AWS classifications. By standardizing storage with the RG300-12, operations can reduce material waste associated with contaminated or damaged filler metals.
