Scepter BPA Free Military Water Can - 5 Gallon (20L)

About This Gear

The Scepter Military Water Can is the gold standard for rugged, portable water storage at the campsite. Built to military specification MIL-C-53109 and made in Canada from BPA-free high-density polyethylene, this 5-gallon (20-liter) container is virtually indestructible. Its stackable design, integrated carry handle, and screw cap with built-in vent make it efficient to transport and pour. Unlike collapsible bladders, it stands upright, resists punctures, and keeps water tasting clean trip after trip. The only trade-off is its rigid shape takes up space when empty.

Without this adapter, you cannot attach any standard US fittings to the Scepter can. Compatible with both 10L and 20L Scepter water cans.

$15.45
