SF6 Bottles

A 1-Liter plastic safety coated, amber glass bottle with a polyseal cone lined cap is used. This is a true one liter sized bottle with a 33-430 cap finish. The cap finish provides a longer thread depth and superior sealing over the previously used 33-400 cap. Avoid using 32 ounce bottles with a 33-400 cap finish.
