3/4 Inch Drum Faucets Plastic Taps
Dispense From a Drum Through the Existing Closure
What This Product Is
A manual polyethylene faucet in 3/4 inch, made to screw into the 3/4 inch BSP thread hole of a drum screw cap or closure. It suits both plastic and steel drums and gives a controlled draw-off point without opening the main bung.
Key Benefits
- Fitting into the closure rather than the drum keeps the pack intact
- Polyethylene is compatible with a wide range of stored liquids
- The leak-proof seal keeps the dispensing point dry between draws
- Matching drum adapters are available so the faucet fits different drum opening sizes
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Drums without a tap have to be tipped or pumped every time a small quantity is needed
- Opening the main bung to decant exposes the whole contents to air and contamination
- Drums arrive with different opening sizes, so one faucet size rarely fits the whole store
Application Scenarios
- Chemical and lubricant distributors dispensing from 200 litre drums
- Workshops that draw small quantities daily from a standing drum
- Repackers who need a tap that fits both steel and plastic drum closures

Comparison With Other Products
The PE drum faucet is a dispensing tap for indoor drum handling, while the PP water butt tap with hose connector is specified for outdoor water storage and connects to a hose. Where an entire drum has to be moved rather than decanted, a drum pump is the better fit.
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.
