2 Inch Drum Faucets Plastic Barrels Taps
A Full Bore 2 Inch Tap Straight Into the Drum Bung
What This Product Is
A manual polyethylene faucet in 2 inch with an EPDM O-ring seal, fitting the 2 inch thread of plastic and steel drums and barrels. The full 2 inch bore gives a far higher flow rate than a 3/4 inch faucet, which is what bulk decanting needs.
Key Benefits
- The 2 inch bore matches the drum bung, so the flow is not throttled
- EPDM O-ring sealing prevents leakage and spillage at the joint
- Polyethylene suits a wide range of liquids stored in drums
- Matching drum adapters cover other drum opening sizes
What Goes Wrong Without It
- A 3/4 inch tap takes too long to fill a bucket or a container from a 200 litre drum
- Fitting a small tap into a 2 inch bung wastes most of the available opening
- Drums come with different opening sizes, so a single faucet thread rarely fits a whole store
Application Scenarios
- Chemical and lubricant distributors decanting from full size drums
- Repackers filling medium containers where throughput matters
- Workshops drawing large quantities from drums daily

How to Specify and Use It

Support the drum on a cradle so it can be drained fully
Close the tap after each draw and wipe the outlet
Comparison With Other Products
Against the 3/4 inch drum faucet in the same PE material, this is the high flow version for bulk work. Against the 8mm quick serve tap, it is the opposite end of the range: that one is built for controlled small fills, this one for speed.
Customisation
Sizes, colours and materials can be adapted where the product allows it, and branding can be applied to closures and cap seals. Confirm the change you need when you send the enquiry.
