Quoted on enquiry

These depend on your order, your market or the certificate that covers your run, so we quote them rather than publish one figure that would be wrong for most buyers. Ask and you get the number for your specification.

  • Minimum order quantity

Dimensions, material thickness, carton and container figures come from the current production specification. Empty weights are derived from the quoted net carton weight. Confirm against the drawing issued with your order.

Why It Is Built This Way

What makes this product different

01

Ten kilograms filled, not twenty

The practical carrying limit for most people over any distance, which widens the buyer base beyond fit adults.

02

Same material promise

Identical AISI 304 specification to the 20 litre. The size changes, the material story does not.

03

Fits smaller storage

Vanlife lockers, boat cabins and vehicle footwells where a full-size can will not go.

04

Strong retail size

The volume most preparedness and outdoor retailers sell most of.

Manufacturing & Quality

How it is made, and how it is checked

Manufacturing

The body is pressed and welded in AISI 304 stainless steel, a food-contact grade chosen so the metal itself is the barrier and there is no lining to fail. Production runs across our Vietnam and China plants under one specification managed from Singapore.

Quality control

Every can is checked before it leaves the plant:

  • Leakproofness test — seams and closure checked under air pressure
  • Drop test — a filled can dropped to confirm it survives handling
  • Dimensional inspection against the drawing
  • Interior and finish inspection for coverage and defects

Water is not a dangerous good, so no UN transport marking applies.

Compatible Liquids

What it holds, and what it does not

Compliance by market

What this product has to satisfy, market by market

The regimes that apply to this type of container in each market we ship to, with the detail behind each one a click away. This is what the market asks for; what this particular design already holds is in the specification above.

Orientation for specification, not legal advice, and not a statement that this design holds a given approval. Requirements turn on the exact design, contents and destination, and they change. Tell us the market at enquiry and we confirm what applies to your specification, what we hold and what we would need to obtain.

Questions, Answered

The things buyers ask before they order

Is the 10L water can food grade?

It is. The 10L is made from AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel, the same specification as the rest of our water range, so it is fit for drinking water.

Is it suitable for potable water?

Yes. Potable water is its stated purpose, and food-grade stainless will not taint the taste or leach into what you store.

What is the can made from, and is there a coating inside?

The shell is 0.8 mm AISI 304 stainless steel with no inner coating or liner. Stainless is food-safe by itself, so there is nothing to wear through or peel away.

Can it hold fuel?

No. This is a water and food-grade can. For petrol, diesel or kerosene, look at our steel and stainless fuel lines, which are specified and marked for hydrocarbons.

How do I clean it, and will it last?

Wash it with warm soapy water, rinse well and dry it open. Stainless is durable, reusable and recyclable, so the 10L stands up to repeated cleaning without rust or lingering smell.

Do you supply certification for it?

We can. An AISI 304 mill certificate or a food-contact declaration is available to request and is confirmed per order, so let us know what your buyer or market requires.

Is it a dangerous good to ship?

No. As a potable-water can it carries no dangerous-goods classification, so it ships without the UN documentation fuel cans need.

Can it be branded for our own range?

Yes. Laser etching, embossing and powder coating to a RAL colour are all available, so the 10L can carry your name and colours.

What is the order minimum and how long is lead time?

We quote both against your order. Tell us the quantity, finish and branding and we will confirm minimum order quantity, lead time and pricing.

Why choose the 10L over the 20L?

Filled, the 10L holds ten kilograms of water rather than twenty, so one person can lift and carry it comfortably. It also tucks into smaller storage, which suits vanlife, marine lockers and household stockholding.
