Drum Faucets

to control the flow of liquid from your drums

Drum faucets are available for standard 2" and 3/4" bung sizes on 30 and 55-gallon steel drums. They allow you to stop, start or adjust the flow while you empty drum. Order a drum faucet compatible with the liquid you are dispensing.

The bung on your plastic drum may be made with coarse "buttress thread", but some drum manufacturers provide adaptors to accept pipe threaded accessories.
