20-Gallon Open-Head Salvage Drum
This EAGLE 1650 drum provides 20 gallons of UN-rated containment for hazardous liquids or solids. The polyethylene body measures 4.57 mm thick with a screw-on HDPE lid that creates a secure seal. Yellow colour coding allows quick visual identification in industrial or environmental-response settings.
Replaces Damaged or Non-Compliant Containers
Upgrade when an existing drum fails inspection, lacks the required 1H2/X57/S marking, or shows wall thinning below 4.57 mm. The jump is worth it when regulations demand a certified salvage drum rather than a standard open-head pail for overpacking leaking packages.
Verify Chemical Compatibility and Handling Gear
Confirm the stored substance is compatible with unlined HDPE and that your facility can manoeuvre a 20 3/4 in tall drum with a 20 3/8 in top diameter. No bung holes are present, so plan for pump or pour access through the full-diameter opening.

Questions about this item
What diameter opening does the 20 3/8 in top outside diameter of this salvage drum require for placement?
The drum's top outside diameter is 20 3/8 in, so any access point or storage shelf must provide at least that much clear width to set the drum down without forcing it.
How do I correctly secure the screw-on lid on this open head drum, and what step is commonly missed?
Align the HDPE cover threads with the drum body, then turn the screw-on lid until it seats fully against the 4.57 mm body thickness; the step often missed is verifying the lid is completely bottomed out, not just hand-tight.
When should the UN 1H2/X57/S rated drum be inspected or replaced after being put into service?
Inspect the polyethylene body and yellow HDPE cover for cracks, UV embrittlement or thread wear before each use; replace the drum immediately if the 4.57 mm wall shows any penetration or if the screw-on lid no longer seals to the UN 1H2/X57/S standard.
