Type I Metal Safety Gas Cans

OSHA approved gas can

Designed with a single spout for filling and pouring. The sealed lid features automatic positive-pressure relief that vents between 3 and 5 psig (0.2 and 0.35 bar) to guard against rupture or explosion. Made from high-grade coated steel, each can is tested to guarantee 100% leak-proof construction. The tough powder-coat finish resists chemicals and stands up to demands of rigorous use.

Each Justrite safety can is equipped with a stainless steel flame arrester which dissipates heat to stop flashback ignition. Cans up to 1 quart (1L) feature a trigger-release handle, while larger capacities have a swinging handle to greatly ease the carrying of heavier loads.

Use a Type I safety can funnel to pour into smaller openings. This polypropylene funnel attaches to the spout neck of Type I Safety cans that are sized 1-gallon (4L) and larger. The two-position funnel folds down for when you fill or store the can, and stays up for when you pour. A large rounded bowl provides protection from splashing and spillage. Durable construction holds up to heavy use.

Safety cans are FM and OSHA compliant and approved by FM, UL/ULC, and TUV.

What is the difference between Type I and Type II safety cans?

Type I safety cans have a single opening that is used for both filling and dispensing. When filling Type I safety cans, using a funnel is recommended to help reduce spills.

Type II safety cans have separate openings, one for filling and a dedicated spout for dispensing, which allows for more controlled pouring. Justrite Type II safety cans typically include a flexible hose and controlled-pour features such as an AccuFlow manifold with a Safe-Squeeze trigger handle. Choosing a flammable safety can?
