Product Overview
The 1-Gallon Poly Laboratory Container in Red from Justrite is a safety can built for handling, storing, and dispensing flammable liquids and corrosive chemicals in laboratory environments. The polyethylene body with stainless steel hardware provides broad chemical resistance, while the spring-loaded, self-closing cap with pressure-relief mechanism prevents dangerous vapor buildup. A stainless steel flame arrester in the 1.45-inch fill/pour opening prevents flashback ignition. Measuring 4.625 inches wide by 7.625 inches long by 12.75 inches high, the 1-gallon capacity offers the largest volume in the poly lab container line. The red color designates flammable contents per OSHA/NFPA color-coding standards. At 5 lbs, the container ships via UPS. A compatible funnel (A11201J) is available separately for hands-free filling operations.

Expert Insights
When selecting the 1-Gallon Red Poly Laboratory Container, you are choosing the largest-capacity poly model in the line, providing full gallon storage for daily flammable liquid use. The red color clearly identifies this container for flammable contents per OSHA and NFPA standards — an important distinction from the white model (A12162J), which signals corrosive or waste liquids. The polyethylene construction makes this container ideal for labs working with both flammables and corrosives, as it resists chemical attack that would degrade standard metal containers. All three built-in safety features work together: the self-closing cap minimizes vapor exposure, the flame arrester prevents external ignition from reaching contents, and the pressure-relief valve prevents dangerous buildup. If you need less volume at the workstation, the 1/2-Gallon model (A14065J) reduces flammable inventory per NFPA guidelines. For maximum durability and heat resistance, consider the 1-Gallon Stainless Steel model (A1301E) from Eagle Manufacturing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the red and white 1-gallon containers?
They share the same dimensions and safety features. Red designates flammable contents and white designates corrosive or waste liquids per OSHA/NFPA color coding.
Does the self-closing cap lock open for pouring?
No, the cap is spring-loaded to automatically close when released. This safety feature minimizes vapor exposure and fire risk during use.
Can I use this container without the flame arrester?
The flame arrester is a built-in safety component and should never be removed. It prevents external ignition sources from reaching flammable vapors inside.
How do I clean the container between chemical changes?
Rinse thoroughly with a compatible solvent and allow to air dry completely before refilling. The polyethylene interior is non-porous and resists chemical absorption.
