Measure first: check the can model and its depth, width and height against the holder manufacturer’s compatibility information. Vehicle-mounted accessories may also be subject to local legal requirements.

Why exact dimensions matter

Two 20-litre cans can differ significantly in width, height and depth. Use the compatibility list rather than assuming all cans of the same nominal capacity fit the same frame.

Vehicle installation

VALPRO’s holder instructions explicitly tell users to observe legal requirements for add-on parts when mounting to a vehicle. The mounting surface and fasteners also need to be suitable for the load.
