8mm Quick Serve Tap
A Small Bore Tap for Steady Serving
What This Product Is
A manual polyethylene quick serve tap with a 3/4 inch BSP thread and an EPDM seal, fitting screw caps and closures with a 3/4 inch thread hole on plastic and steel drums, barrels and pails. The 8mm serving bore gives a slower, more controllable stream than a full-bore faucet.
Key Benefits
- The 8mm serve bore makes small container filling controllable
- EPDM sealing holds the outlet dry once the tap is closed
- Polyethylene is compatible with a wide range of stored liquids
- Drum adapters are available so the tap fits different drum openings
What Goes Wrong Without It
- A full-bore faucet overfills small containers before the operator can close it
- Taps that dribble after closing waste product and mark the drum
- Drums arrive with different opening sizes, so a tap alone does not always fit
Application Scenarios
- Repackers filling small bottles and sample containers from drums
- Dispensing points where an untrained user operates the tap
- Distributors serving concentrate by measured quantity

How to Specify and Use It

Screw the tap in and check the EPDM seal is seated
Open in stages rather than fully when filling small containers
Close and wipe the outlet after each serving session
Comparison With Other Products
Against the 3/4 inch full-bore drum faucet in PE, this tap trades flow rate for control, which is what small container filling needs. Against the water butt taps, it is intended for drums and pails on a filling floor rather than outdoor water storage.
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.
