Drum Gate Valve 2 in Self-Closing Brass
This brass drum gate valve is built for industrial drum dispensing. It suits facilities handling non-corrosive flammables such as adhesives, paint or heavy oils. The self-closing mechanism helps prevent accidental spills. Factory Mutual approval confirms it meets recognised safety standards.
PTFE Seal for Chemical Compatibility
The valve uses a PTFE seal that resists the chemicals listed in the specifications. This material choice determines whether the valve can handle your specific fluid without degradation. Verify that PTFE is compatible with the exact substances you intend to dispense before installation.
Handles Viscous Fluids Above 2000 SSU
The valve is rated for viscous materials above 2000 SSU, roughly equivalent to 30W oil. It will comfortably dispense heavy oils, adhesives and paint. It is not suited for low-viscosity solvents or high-volume transfer applications that require a larger bore.
