Product Overview

The 1-Gallon Stainless Steel Laboratory Container from Eagle Manufacturing is a premium-grade dispensing can designed for handling and dispensing flammable liquids in laboratory and industrial settings. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, this container offers superior durability, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance compared to polyethylene alternatives. Measuring 6 inches wide by 8 inches deep by 13 inches high, the 1-gallon capacity provides ample volume for daily dispensing operations. The container features precision-welded seams and a secure dispensing mechanism for controlled, drip-free pouring. At 4 lbs, it is lightweight for its all-metal construction and ships via UPS. The stainless steel finish is easy to decontaminate and maintains a professional appearance in clean-room and laboratory environments. No funnel is included — this container is designed for direct pour dispensing.

Expert Insights

When selecting the 1-Gallon Stainless Steel Laboratory Container, consider the advantages of all-metal construction over polyethylene models. Stainless steel provides higher heat resistance, making this container suitable for environments near heat sources where plastic containers could soften or deform. The non-porous surface resists chemical staining and absorption, simplifying decontamination between uses — a significant advantage in labs handling multiple chemicals. The Eagle Manufacturing build quality features precision-welded seams with no gaskets or adhesives that could degrade. If your lab primarily handles corrosive chemicals and needs the cost savings of poly construction, consider the Justrite poly models in red (A14160J) or white (A12162J). For smaller quantities, the 1/2-Gallon Poly Container (A14065J) reduces flammable inventory at the workstation. Note this container does not include a funnel and is not compatible with the Justrite poly funnel (A11201J), which is designed specifically for the poly container pour holes.

Safety Cans in Action

Pharmaceutical labs, semiconductor cleanrooms, and analytical chemistry departments use stainless steel containers where galvanized steel would contaminate the stored liquid. Forensic labs and food science facilities also require stainless for purity-critical applications.

Purchased by safety managers, maintenance supervisors, lab directors, fleet managers, EHS coordinators, and procurement teams. All Eagle safety cans are manufactured in the USA and backed by AbsorbentsOnline’s 40+ years of safety equipment expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

1-Gal Stainless Laboratory Container - NO Funnel

Why choose stainless steel over polyethylene?

Stainless steel offers higher heat resistance, greater durability, easier decontamination, and a longer service life. It is ideal for labs near heat sources or requiring frequent cleaning between chemicals.

Can I use the Justrite funnel (A11201J) with this container?

No, the A11201J funnel is designed for the Justrite poly container pour holes (1.45 in. diameter). This Eagle stainless container has a different dispensing mechanism.

Is stainless steel compatible with all laboratory chemicals?

Stainless steel resists most common laboratory solvents and flammables. However, it can be attacked by concentrated hydrochloric acid and certain halide solutions — use poly containers for those.

How do I clean this container?

Rinse with a compatible solvent and wipe dry. The non-porous stainless surface does not absorb chemicals, making it easy to switch between different liquids.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • We needed stainless steel safety cans for our pharmaceutical cleanroom and these are outstanding. No corrosion issues even with aggressive solvents like dichloromethane. The finish is smooth, easy to clean, and the cans look professional in our GMP environment. Our auditors had zero concerns.

    Rachel M. — Quality Manager, Pharmaceutical Plant

  • The stainless construction is worth the premium for our chemical process lab. We’ve had galvanized cans fail from chlorinated solvent exposure within months, but these stainless cans look brand new after two years. Worth every dollar for corrosive environments.

    Dr. Lin C. — Lab Director, Chemical Processing

    Verified Buyer
  • Ordered safety cans for our entire facility as part of an OSHA compliance upgrade. AbsorbentsOnline had the widest selection of Eagle cans we found online and the pricing beat our usual industrial supplier by a significant margin. Every can arrived in perfect condition, well-packaged. The FM Approved and UL Listed certifications were right on the label, which made our compliance documentation straightforward. We’ve standardized on these for all our locations now. Excellent customer service when we called with sizing questions too.
