When should a crew pick 26:1 Albion B26 instead of 12:1 B12 for thick or cold 10 oz cartridges?
Pick the Albion B26 when the 10 oz cartridge is thick or cold and stalls at 12:1. Pick B12 when that same 10 oz cartridge is standard-viscosity silicone, acrylic, or polyurethane and still flows at 12:1. Viscosity is the reason.
Does the Albion B26 run peeler and Universal 2-part 10 oz cartridges with a mixer?
Yes. Peeler and Universal 2-part 10 oz packs with a static mixer are a published Albion B26 use. The 26:1 drive is what moves those packs when 12:1 is not enough.
Does the Albion B26 hold a continuous bead on thick 10 oz material?
Yes. The Albion B26 smooth-rod drive is built for a continuous bead on thick or cold 10 oz cartridges. High-viscosity silicone on general construction is the jobsite use.
How does the Albion B26 help on cold-weather thick silicone?
The Albion B26 26:1 drive moves thick or cold 10 oz silicone that would stall a 12:1 B-Line. Cold-weather beads on 10 oz cartridges are a published use.
Does the Albion B26 rotating half-cradle hold 10 oz cartridges?
Yes. The Albion B26 B-Line rotating half-cradle is sized for 10 oz cartridges. That cradle is the 26:1 layout for thick, cold, and peeler-style 10 oz work.
How does the Albion B26 ladder hook pull work on the piston rod?
The Albion B26 ladder hook pull on the piston rod is how you retract the rod. The looped opening can sit on a ladder rung or scaffold rail so the tool is not dropped. Bulletin 412 lists that dual pull and hook.
