Nylex II™ latches have no sharp edges, won't rust, bend, or dent like metal; latches are mounted into steel reinforcement plates for long life. Reinforced, tight-fitting lids with O-ring seals prevent leaks and provide increased heat retention. Convex lid design prevents leaks during use as pressure increases. Sure-Latch™ wide design has three times the latch area of other beverage servers for a secure seal. XT lid design and improved O-ring seal eliminate leaks during transport; convenient pop-up vent. Compact size saves counter space, stacks with standard Cateraides or other major competitors. Bottom of the spigot is 4" from the bottom of the beverage server.
