1 MAIN CASE. This is a stainless steel open-box structure, which acts as the outermost housing insulated
by preformed fiber blocks. Three stainless steel 5/16 inch fixing studs enable secure installation in the host
vehicle. The top edge is fitted with a preformed flexible rubber seal that engages with a matching seal on the
cover to form a steam/watertight joint when the latter is closed and latched. The bottom of the case is closed
by a welded base plate that has four preformed "feet" for mounting.
2 OUTER CONTAINER. This is a food-quality seamless stainless steel vessel, which is capable of holding
up to one gallon of potable water (inner container removed) or 40 fluid ounces of potable water (inner
container in place). An integral heater is externally attached to the bottom surface and water can drain-off by
means of a dispensing outlet that operates in conjunction with the tap.
3 COVER. This is a molded plastic cookware structure with internal air cavities acting as heat barriers and
fitted with a removable pressure/vacuum relief valve. The rear edge connects with a hinge pivot bar on the
main case and the front edge carries a metal hook that engages with the latch. The bottom edge is fitted with a
preformed flexible rubber seal, which engages, with a matching seal on the main case to form a
steam/watertight joint when closed and latched. When removed the cover allows user access to the inner and
outer containers and also acts as a suitable lifting device for the inner container.
