Brass Drum Faucet with Self-Closing Valve
This 3/4 inch NPT brass faucet is built for dispensing viscous liquids from drums or pails in marine and industrial settings. The self-closing mechanism stops flow automatically when the handle is released, reducing spills and waste. Factory Mutual approval confirms it meets recognised safety standards for hazardous environments. It suits operators who need reliable, one-hand flow control.
PTFE Seal Handles Thick Fluids and Chemical Exposure
The PTFE seal resists attack from a wide range of solvents, oils and aggressive chemicals that would degrade standard elastomers. Brass construction withstands corrosion in salt-air dock conditions and resists deformation under heavy use. The 3/4 inch inlet matches common drum and pail threads for direct installation. It is not suited for high-volume transfer pumps or systems requiring a locked-open continuous flow.
Padlock Hole and Pail Hook Add Security
A built-in padlock hole lets supervisors lock the valve shut to prevent unauthorised dispensing or accidental activation. The integrated pail hook supports a receiving container directly under the spout, freeing the operator’s hands during filling. Both features are moulded into the brass body with no extra parts to lose. Buyers needing electronic metering or remote actuation will not find those functions here.

Questions about this item
Will the 3/4 in NPT inlet on this brass faucet thread directly onto the drum bung I already use?
The faucet has a 3/4 in male NPT inlet, so it will thread into any standard 3/4 in female NPT drum opening without an adapter.
How can I confirm the self-closing mechanism is functioning correctly after installation?
Open the valve and release the handle; the spring-loaded action should snap the spout shut immediately and the PTFE seal should stop all drips.
Does the 08955 come with a gasket or do I need to supply my own PTFE tape for the NPT threads?
The box includes the brass faucet body with its integral PTFE seal, a padlock hole and a pail hook; thread sealant or tape for the 3/4 in NPT connection is not included.
