Our Heavy-Duty Drum Tap is the professional solution for controlled dispensing from standard 20-litre and 200-litre industrial drums. Whether you are decanting concentrated mineral salts, pH adjusters, or organic additives into smaller measuring vessels, this tap provides a smooth, consistent flow with a drip-free shut-off. Engineered to withstand the rigours of a busy fertigation room or commercial warehouse, it ensures that your high-value liquids are handled safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of skin contact or floor contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003chr\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decanting liquid nutrients from 20L cubes, managing 200L bulk reservoirs, and providing controlled access to water tanks or mixing vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Drum Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifically designed to fit the standard threaded bungs found on both 20L \"cubes\" and 200L industrial drums, making it a versatile tool for any scale of operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision Flow Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a smooth-operating manual lever that allows you to modulate flow from a steady stream to a minute trickle, perfect for accurate measurement of concentrated liquids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrip-Proof Shut-Off:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered with high-quality internal seals that provide a positive, watertight closure, preventing \"after-drip\" and ensuring your mixing area stays clean and dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical-Resistant Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured from industrial-grade polymers that are resistant to the corrosive effects of concentrated fertilisers, acids, and alkalis common in hydroponic environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapid Dispensing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wide internal bore allows for high-volume transfer when needed, significantly reducing the time spent decanting bulk liquids into smaller sprayers or reservoirs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable \u0026amp; UV-Stabilised:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to withstand the harsh conditions of greenhouse and outdoor environments without becoming brittle or cracking over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suits 20L and 200L Plastic or Metal Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-Impact Polyethylene \/ Chemical-Resistant Polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual Quarter-Turn Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opaque White \/ Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutrient Decanting, Liquid Storage, and Bulk Dispensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure Threading:\u003c\/strong\u003e When installing, ensure the drum is positioned upright.
