The practical carrying limit for most people over any distance, which widens the buyer base beyond fit adults.
Identical AISI 304 specification to the 20 litre.
Vanlife lockers, boat cabins and vehicle footwells where a full-size can will not go.
The volume most preparedness and outdoor retailers sell most of.
Our distributors give their own buyers this same breakdown.
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.
Every can is checked before it leaves the plant:
Water is not a dangerous good, so no UN transport marking applies.
Potable water
Strong acids, and any liquid outside the stated range.

The regimes that apply to this type of container in each market we ship to, with the detail behind each one a click away. These are the market’s requirements; the specification above lists what this design already holds.
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.
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.
Yes. Potable water is its stated purpose, and food-grade stainless will not taint the taste or leach into what you store.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No. As a potable-water can it carries no dangerous-goods classification, so it ships without the UN documentation fuel cans need.
Yes. Laser etching, embossing and powder coating to a RAL colour are all available, so the 10L can carry your name and colours.
We quote both against your order. Tell us the quantity, finish and branding and we will confirm minimum order quantity, lead time and pricing.
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.
NATO-pattern pressed steel can finished and marked for water, in the blue many buyers choose for water.
AISI 304 food-grade stainless, NATO-style form factor, screw cap. Purpose-built for potable water rather than adapted from fuel tooling.
Five litre AISI 304 stainless can for day use, sampling and retail gift packs, in the same food-grade specification as the full range.
Natural HDPE for food, beverage and potable applications, with the wetted path specified for food contact rather than assumed.
