OX 230mm Caulking Gun

The OX caulking gun is a 230mm barrel gun built for everyday sealant and silicone work. The skeleton frame keeps it light and gives you a clear view of the cartridge, the quick release lever lets you stop the flow cleanly, and the 6mm hex rod pushes smoothly and evenly. A ladder hang hook is built into the rod, so the gun stays within reach when you are working up a ladder.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop sealant dripping between uses?

Release the pressure with the quick release lever when you stop, and keep the nozzle capped or wipe it clean. If you are stopping for longer, pull the rod back slightly to relieve pressure on the cartridge so the sealant does not keep flowing.

What size cartridge does this gun take?

The 230mm barrel takes standard 230mm sealant and silicone cartridges, the size used for most building sealants in Australia. A 310mm sausage cartridge needs a different gun.

What is the quick release lever for?

The quick release lever stops the pressure instantly, so the sealant stops flowing when you want a clean break in the bead. Without it, the cartridge keeps oozing after you ease off.

Why does the gun have a ladder hang hook?

The hook on the hex rod lets you hang the gun on a ladder rung while you reposition. It keeps the gun off the roof and within reach, which saves trips up and down.

Is a skeleton frame better than a closed frame?

A skeleton frame is lighter and gives you a clear view of how much sealant is left in the cartridge. A closed frame is stronger for heavy industrial use; for most building work the skeleton frame is the practical choice.
