UN Rated Steel Pails & Drums
One of the most frequent questions we are asked is “what is the UN rating or “do I need UN rated packaging”? In simple terms, a UN rating, or UN designation, is the performance level for which the packaging has been tested. The UN designation assigned to packaging allows the shipper to determine what packaging is suitable for shipping hazardous or regulated product. Of course, if your product is not hazardous, then you don’t need to have a UN rated pail but the UN rating does not preclude your use of the packaging.
We carry a large selection of UN rated steel pails and drums. Some are open head and some are tight head (closed head). Our selection is listed below.

1.5 Gallon Green Phenolic Gray Steel Round 24 GA
Item: SPC0002CE3L001
UN Rating: 1A1/Y2.0/200
Opening: Tight Head Rieke Opening
Pack: 120
Our 1.5 gallon gray steel pail with a green phenolic lining is a tight head pail with a Rieke opening. It has a hole covered with a dust cap. Pails are shipped empty, with the dust cap on, so they remain clean. The end user fills the pail and then crimps on a Rieke Flexspout (sold separately). A Rieke Flexspout is a retractable plastic pour spout which offers a reliable and tamper evident seal. When the spout is closed, it has a low profile for ease of stacking. The tamper evident cap has a pull tab for fast removal. Once the Flexspout is crimped on, and before the first use, the cap is pulled off the spout and cannot be reattached. To use the pail, simply pull up the spout, dispense your product and reclose.
