The meaning of the dimensions is the 610 diameter represents 6 10\/16\u201d and the 708 height is about 7 8\/16\u201d, which equates to approximately 6.6\u201d x 7.490\u201d. This is the gallon can size we sold here at ICC since the beginning. Some time ago, another size gallon paint can came into the picture as well, this size is known as the 610 x 710.5 gallon paint can. As you can see, the height referenced is a little bit different than the original paint can mentioned above. The specs on this can are 6.6\u201d diameter x 7.65\u201d height, which is a little taller than the original paint can, .16 inches to be exact (just under 3\/16\u201d). Why does any of this make a difference? Well, major paint can manufacturers are starting to standardize this slightly taller gallon can, so there will be a lot more of them out in circulation throughout this year and moving forward.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What Does This Mean?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As many manufacturers will be changing to the taller gallon paint can, here at ICC we also plan on making the change to the taller paint cans in the very near future. In addition, we will be adding a little height (\u00bc\u201d to be exact) to a few of our boxes and kits and had to re-test the new sizes so they would be capable of holding both the taller and shorter size gallon paint cans. The boxes\/kits that we will be adding \u00bc\u201d to the height are the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/bx-85\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK-85<\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> box which includes the combination kits <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/pk-n2gal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK-N2GAL<\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/pk-n2galc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK-N2GALC<\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> as well as the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/bx-87\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK-87<\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0box which includes the combination kits PK-N4GAL and PK-N4GALC.
