WELCOME TO OLDGAS
I've got 2 sq Hayes's & nothing was holding the cast iron bonnet to the top of jar ring, just the weight of them. When I painted the 15gal, I extended the elect. conduit enough to add a washer & nut to hold bonnet secure [we have earthquakes & strong winds].
Jar top ring should have a large nut holding it tight to glass.

I ditto DB, mine did have 3 tabs holding the bonnet on, a nut holding the jar lid.


Thanks, Phil

IF the cylinder is still sealed in, I use Brake Fluid to help loosen the glycerin for removal.
