Is this canteen cup spot welded or riveted?

The units we purchased are spot welded. We have had no problems with either the handles or bracket attachments. We have used these units vigorously.

Hello Kevin,The canteens that I have are stainless steel, with folded and soldered seams. They are very well made. I bought 2 and each came with a canvas cover, bowl and canteen. A little pricey, but I am very happy with the purchase.

No it is either bolted or riveted in place... Though I suppose you could take it out. It wouldn't be easily popped in and out at lakeside though.

They are definitely welded on, you have to screw on the ball valve and temperature gage, if you use silicon tape it works great

Well I'm not an expert on this but it's either welded or pressed, there's no bolts at least on sight. It is pretty sturdy, it can hold up to 3 cups of raw quinoa which makes the process of rinsing it easier. The silicon covered handle is comfortable comfortable and slip proof even when wet.

I ordered a mill finish alum tank. When it came it looked like someone had played tick-tac-toe on all sides of the tank and it wasn't from the shipper. Also, they burnt a hole in the side where the baffle is welded. In my opinion, RDS has no pride of workmanship to send a tank out like this. So, I can't tell you if it would break. If it did it would be at a weld. Welds look very good except where they burn the hole and tried to cover it up.

Yes, its fixed - riveted. Yes, you have to remove your belt to attach this.

Don't know but I had to get it welded again because it wouldn't stay in the base.

The handles are definitely welded on securely. It looks like a three spot weld. Compared to an old stainless steel set that I had, this looks much better.

No, they're spot welded. If they were seamless stainless steel, it would raise the price to something more than $100 per set.

It is a real temper line. It has a fuller groove. I don't know if it's a forged tang or welded I haven't had the handle off.

It's a single metal piece welded to the piece of metal you see from the front. It's welded in four places spaced equally apart from top to bottom.

There is a stainless steel cable inside the strap and galvanized steel rivets.

There are two small, slightly rounded rivets about 1/2 inch down from the top of the pan where the handle joins the pan.

Neither--it is attached with rivets. Nice pot but lighter weight than I'd expected

The one I have is welded. A threaded piece is welded to the kettle's bulk head. There are kettles that come with just a hole drilled. A non welded kit is used to attach the bulk head fittings. With this kettle you only need to screw your thermometer and spigot into the welded bulk head. If the therm and spigot were directly welded, you would not be able to replace them if they became defective.

the lid is a little bit smaller and a different threading than the popular plastic GI canteen, and the cup is a little bit smaller as well. i don't have a stand for this canteen but i can imagine it would fit loosely. as I've said in my review though, I would get this canteen. If you need to boil water you don't even need the cup, just attach a stainless keyring at the point where the chain meets the canteen for easy removal and you don't have to worry about melting it. I have no complaints about this canteen at all.
