The 5-Gallon Closed-Head Steel Pail is built from 24-26 gauge carbon steel with a non-removable top and a 2-inch screw closure, so the contents stay sealed in transit. A steel bail handle folds flat against the head for stacking and lifts for one-handed carrying.

• 2" screw cap with gasket for a sealed, resealable closure
• Steel bail handle that folds flat onto the head
• UN 1A1/Y1.8/200 — Packing Groups II and III, tested to 200 kPa

Dimensions & Weight

• Top diameter: 11.8"
• Overall height: 13.5"

Applications

Solvents, coatings, adhesives and industrial chemicals that ship sealed. A closed head keeps the product contained and pours through the cap; choose an open-head pail instead when the contents must be scooped or mixed in the container.
