This UN-rated 5-gallon rectangular tight-head container combines industrial-grade durability with space-efficient design for the safe storage and transport of regulated liquids. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it meets DOT/UN performance standards while providing excellent chemical resistance and stackable convenience.

The integrated top handle and molded hand-grips enable safe, controlled pouring, while the 70mm threaded neck accepts tamper-evident, vented, or standard caps for secure closure. Please note that the vent is sealed by default and requires manual drilling before use. For best results, we recommend using a 3/8 drill bit to carefully open the vent for optimal airflow and controlled pouring.

With its rectangular footprint and straight-wall design, this container maximizes warehouse and shipping cube efficiency while delivering the robust performance required for hazardous material transport and industrial liquid storage applications.

Jodi is great to work with. A true ROCK STAR!!!!!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words about Jodi. We are thrilled to hear that she provided you with excellent service. We will be sure to pass along your compliments to her. Thank you for choosing our product!

The carboys and caps I purchsed are exactly what I was hoping for. I give this 3-stars becuase I did not receive all of the caps. I ordered the caps along with the carboys and they were loosly thrown into the carboy shipping boxes but one was missing. I wish they were not "sold seperately" because I think that would prevent the issue. Having said that, I will likely order these again and just hope I don't get shorted another cap next time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the carboys and caps you purchased. We apologize for the missing cap in your order. Please contact me at 888-631-0888 so that we can get your missing caps shipped out asap. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

An excellent product at an excellent price. Spigots are good quality. I bought 4.

Thank you so much for leaving such a positive review! We are thrilled to hear that you are happy with your purchase and that the spigots are of good quality. We appreciate your business and hope that our product continues to meet your expectations. Have a great day!
