New Pig KIT413 Oil-Only Spill Kit in Bucket — 14-Piece, Absorbs Oil, Repels Water

New Pig KIT413 Oil-Only Spill Kit overview

The New Pig KIT413 Oil-Only Spill Kit is a 14-piece, grab-and-go bucket kit built for one job done well: soaking up oil, fuel, and hydrocarbons while repelling water. Because the absorbents float and shed water, the kit keeps working on an oil spill outdoors, in the rain, on a wet floor, or even on the surface of water — exactly where a universal absorbent would waterlog. It has 4.5-gallon absorbency packed into a 6.5-gallon UN-rated bucket and is sized for spills of roughly 1 to 9 gallons. See our best spill kits guide and the spill control collection.

Two things make it the right pick for fuel and oil. First, the water-repelling chemistry: pick oil-only when water may be present and universal (the KIT21/KIT213) when you also need to absorb water or coolant. Second, the PIG Stat-Mat pads meet ANSI and MIL-SPEC static-decay standards, so they dissipate static instead of building a charge — which is why they're rated for use with fuels and flammables. Inside the screw-lid bucket you get a PIG Skimmer sock, an oil-only sock, Stat-Mat pads, disposal bags, and tamperproof labels. For aggressive chemicals, it's the wrong kit — use the acid-neutralizing kit — and for larger volumes there's the 30-gallon overpack kit. Restock with oil-only booms and mat pads.

Where it fits

It's the spill kit for fuel and oil around water — fleet yards, fueling areas, generators, marine and dockside work, outdoor equipment, and any shop where oil spills happen on wet or washed floors. Build a perimeter with the socks, skim and soak with the Stat-Mat pads, and bag the used absorbents in the same bucket. It's not for water-based coolant spills (use the universal kit) or aggressive chemicals (use a chemical kit). Pair the cleanup with the right PPE — our chemical-resistant gloves and solvent respirator cartridge guides cover protection, and keep a first-aid kit on hand.

Frequently asked questions

What does the oil-only kit absorb?

It absorbs oil, fuel, and other hydrocarbons while repelling water. Oil-only absorbents float and shed water, so they keep working on an oil spill even on wet ground, in the rain, or on water — where a universal absorbent would soak up the water too.

When should I choose oil-only over a universal kit?

Choose oil-only when the spill is oil or fuel and water may be present — outdoors, on wet floors, or on water. Choose universal (the KIT21/KIT213) when you need to absorb water-based liquids like coolant too. Oil-only repels water; universal absorbs it.

How much does it absorb, and what spill sizes is it for?

It has 4.5-gallon absorbency and is sized for spills of roughly 1 to 9 gallons. Note the 6.5-gallon figure is the bucket size, not the absorbency — the absorbent capacity is 4.5 gallons.

Is it safe to use around fuels and flammables?

Yes. The PIG Stat-Mat pads meet ANSI and MIL-SPEC static-decay standards, meaning they dissipate static rather than building a charge, which is why they're rated for use with fuels and flammables. That doesn't remove the fire hazard — keep ignition sources away.

What's in the 14-piece kit?

A 3-in x 10-ft PIG Skimmer absorbent sock, a 3-in x 48-in oil-only sock, four PIG Stat-Mat absorbent pads, six tamperproof labels, and two disposal bags with ties, all in a screw-lid polyethylene bucket.

Is it for acids or aggressive chemicals?

No. Oil-only absorbents are for oil and hydrocarbon liquids, not acids, bases, oxidizers, or other aggressive chemicals. For those, use a chemical-specific or acid-neutralizing kit and check the safety data sheet first.

Does it really work on water?

Yes — because it repels water and floats, it can skim oil off the surface of water or work on an oil spill in a wet area without becoming waterlogged. That's the core advantage of oil-only over universal absorbents outdoors.

Can I reuse the bucket for disposal?

Yes. The polyethylene bucket has an easy-open, screw-on lid and is UN-rated (1H2/Y30/S, packing groups II and III), so it can temporarily store or ship the used absorbents, subject to your waste rules.

What PPE do I need to clean up an oil or fuel spill?

Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, and a respirator if fuel or solvent vapors are present. Control ignition sources for flammable liquids, and match your PPE to the specific product using its safety data sheet.

How do I dispose of the used absorbents?

Oil-soaked absorbents carry the hazard of the oil or fuel they absorbed, so dispose of them per your local, state, and federal waste regulations. Used absorbents from fuels or certain oils may be regulated as hazardous waste.

Can it be wall-mounted?

Yes. The bucket is designed to be wall-mounted for high visibility and fast access, and the tamperproof seals help keep the supplies from being pilfered before an emergency.

What's the difference between this and the universal spill kit?

This oil-only kit repels water and is for oil, fuel, and hydrocarbons; the universal KIT21/KIT213 absorbs both oil- and water-based liquids for indoor shop spills. Match the absorbent type to whether water needs to be soaked up or shed.
