Hi I was wondering if these will work in the sides of round 5 gallon pails or if the can only be used on flat surfaces? Thanks in advance

I haven't tried them in the side, but they should work they are strong enough to be able to torque them down to make a seal. They will flatten the bucket enough to do so, for insurance you can use some silicone to make sure it will seal. Hope that helps. Al

Flat, yes, but with grooves. I would imagine that they would work fine on glass top surface.

Hi. I plan on using them in a "pondless" water feature. The grates will be placed over a water basin that holds the pump. River rocks will cover the grates. The water will flow into and onto the rocks, seemingly disappearing into the ground but will actually fall through the rocks/grates into the water basin, then be recirculated to the top of the stream/waterfall. Thus, there is no standing water, or pond. I hope that helps. :)

I use them for glazed porcelain and stoneware. They work well for smaller areas up to an inch +/-. I always use them dry and wear a mask to avoid inhalation of the dust. These are a good value, but I have found a couple of them have a shaft that is not perfectly straight-mounted and then the wobble is unacceptable.

I used these on in door basement steps. The problems I foresee for out door use are weather related: no drainage holes. I imagine water could build up and maybe be slippery (or freeze). Since you already have them. Try them outdoors. If they don't work, take them off. OR put on one or two. That's my spin.

I have the silver metal 1/2 gallon pail and these work fine. Not sure about the glass pails. Hope this helps you.

They should work in any standing body of water. A rain barrel though would cycle water through on a regular basis and flush the dunks out. You would have to replace them after a lot of rain and/or use of the rain barrel water.

Works the best with 5 gallon container as the tube that goes into container is quite long. Working for me. I use it to fill snow blower. Can needs to be above the line of gas tank. I put gas can on bench next to snow blower and then as you pump with your hand it works great. Good luck

Yes - they work in regular and shallow depth cans. I had to use a shallow can in a pantry and worked perfectly.

Patricia this product prolly could be used in regular outhouse ...but you'd have to make some way to hold it. It's really designed to be used in a 5 gal bucket type situation...hope that helps....Glen

Since each round end is 4" in diameter, you would have to go bigger than that. I understand the standard tile sizes are 4" or 6"; therefore I would say 6" tiles would work.

They should work well in this application on smooth surfaces like a plastic fence or plastic siding. On rough surfaces you could add a layer of 3M double sided mounting tape. In the long term they may become brittle outdoors.

I'm sure they would, I used mine on 5 gal buckets from Lowes and they are about the same thickness.

I would not suggest it, only areas that do not drain are on either side of spout, they are very small.

I see someone has answered this question for you. I would like to add that the surface of the flat mop that these are intended for is a terrific mop & has a rough surface which I think helps hold the covers in place in addition to the elastic. I have used mine to wipe down walls, etc. besides swiveling it around on floors. Great product. I was delighted Amazon carried it.

I used the 4 I bought with with rectangular under-mount sinks and I do not see why a round one should not work. The rectangular ones are not much more and look more interesting.

You could probably make them work on gravel but it would need to be very flat and even. If it is sloped I wouldn't use them.
