We switched to these lab pack drums for our satellite accumulation points. The lever-lock closure is easy to operate with gloves and the UN rating means we can ship directly to our TSDF without repacking. Great price per drum compared to our previous supplier.

Expert Insights
Lab pack drums with plastic lever lock closures are the workhorses of laboratory hazardous waste management. The lever lock mechanism allows repeated opening and closing without degrading the seal, which is critical during accumulation periods when multiple small containers are being added to the drum over days or weeks.
The UN/DOT rating 1H2/X65/S means this drum is certified for Packing Group III materials (low danger) with a maximum gross mass of 65 kg. The "S" designation indicates it is rated for solids only. For liquid wastes, verify your waste profile requires a 1H1 (closed-head) or 1H2 (open-head) configuration.
Yellow color coding is the industry standard for hazardous chemical waste streams. When packing lab packs, ensure each internal container is cushioned with compatible absorbent material (vermiculite or absorbent pads). RCRA labeling must include the accumulation start date, hazard class, and generator information. Do not stack loaded lab packs more than two high during storage.
Lab Pack Drums in Action
University and hospital labs use lab pack drums as satellite accumulation containers at each workstation, consolidating spent solvents, expired reagents, and waste chemicals for scheduled hazmat pickup. Pharmaceutical R&D labs use them during formulation changes to collect off-spec batches. Environmental services companies use them during lab clean-outs to systematically pack and remove dozens of small chemical containers in a single compliant shipment.
Purchased by lab managers, EHS coordinators, hazmat waste haulers, environmental services firms, and university safety officers. Facilities typically maintain a 90-day accumulation inventory — the maximum satellite accumulation period under EPA RCRA 40 CFR 262.15.
Frequently Asked Questions
14 Gallon Lab Pack, Yellow, Plastic Lever Lock
What does the UN/DOT rating 1H2/X65/S mean on this lab pack drum?
The code 1H2 means it is an open-head plastic drum. X indicates Packing Group I, II, or III materials. 65 is the maximum gross mass in kilograms. S means it is rated for solid contents. This rating certifies the drum for shipping regulated hazardous materials by ground transport.
Why is this lab pack drum yellow?
Yellow is the industry-standard color code for hazardous chemical waste. It provides immediate visual identification of the waste stream, helping lab personnel, waste haulers, and emergency responders quickly recognize the container contents. Blue drums are typically used for non-hazardous lab waste.
How does the plastic lever lock closure work?
The plastic lever lock ring snaps over the lid rim and locks into place without tools. To open, lift the lever tab and pull the ring free. This allows repeated opening and resealing during the waste accumulation period. The plastic lever lock is lighter than metal but still provides a secure, DOT-compliant seal.
How many small containers can I fit inside this 14-gallon lab pack?
A 14-gallon lab pack typically holds 8 to 15 small containers (500 mL to 2.5 L bottles) depending on size and shape, plus absorbent packing material such as vermiculite. Always leave space for adequate cushioning between containers and ensure total weight does not exceed the 143 lb capacity.
Can I use this drum for liquid hazardous waste?
This drum carries an S (solids) rating, meaning it is certified for solid or semi-solid contents under DOT regulations. For free-flowing liquid waste, you would need a closed-head (1H1) drum with bung closures. However, individual sealed bottles of liquid inside absorbent packing are acceptable for lab pack shipments.
