Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my Albion B18S20 between sausage packs, cartridges, and bulk dispensing?

The Albion B18S20 features a highly adaptable internal drive rod. To prevent material blow-by or mechanical jamming, configure your piston stack based on your material packaging:

  • The Albion B18S20 features a highly adaptable internal drive rod. To prevent material blow-by or mechanical jamming, configure your piston stack based on your material packaging:
  • For Sausage Packs: Ensure the black polyplastic 873-6 Sausage Piston (Item 5) is installed on the rod, supported from behind by the steel 873-10 Piston Washer (Item 6). This creates a full 2-inch seal against the barrel walls to cleanly deflate foil sausage bags without wrapping or binding.
  • For Rigid Cartridges (10oz / 12oz): Remove the plastic Sausage Piston (Item 5) completely. Because a rigid cartridge shell is narrower than the gun's aluminum barrel, the 2-inch plastic cup will block it. Adjust your backing nut halfway up the threads and use only the bare steel 873-10 Piston Washer (Item 6) to reach inside the cartridge and press its rear plunger forward.
  • For Bulk Pail Material (Suction Loading): Strip the sausage components off the rod entirely and substitute the specialized 873-35 Hytrel Bulk Piston (Item 22). This configuration creates the heavy-duty vacuum seal required to pull loose material straight up into the 873-8 Barrel (Item 2) without bypass leakage.

Which specialized nozzle upgrades are available for the 873-5 Front Cap?

To optimize your material output profile, you can swap out standard nozzles for application-specific accessories designed to thread perfectly onto the 873-5 Front Cap (Item 1):

  • 935-4 Bent Cone Nozzle (Item 25): Specially angled for hard-to-reach joints, log chinking corners, and technical window perimeters where straight access is blocked.
  • 1135-4 Square Bead Nozzle (Item 26): Engineered to output structural, clean square sealant joints natively, eliminating the need for manual tooling.
