Drum Faucet for Non-Flammable Liquids
This Vestil drum faucet provides a manual-close outlet for dispensing non-flammable liquids from standard containers. It suits operations handling fluids with viscosity and some corrosive properties where a simple, reliable shut-off is required. The polyethylene body and EPDM seal resist chemical attack during daily transfer tasks. A padlock hole allows the valve to be secured against unauthorised use.
Polyethylene Body with 2 In NPT Threads
The non-adjustable manual closing mechanism uses a gasket to create a positive seal each time the handle is returned to the closed position. A male 2 In NPT inlet threads directly into compatible drum or pail openings without adapters. The integrated pail hook supports the weight of a receiving container during filling. Yellow colour coding helps workers identify the faucet quickly in busy environments.
Replaces Worn or Missing Drum Valves
This unit upgrades drums that have lost their original faucets or rely on makeshift pour spouts. The manual action eliminates the drips common with gravity-fed or push-button taps that fail to reseat. The jump is worth it when a facility needs a lockable, corrosion-resistant valve that threads straight into existing 2 In NPT ports.

Questions about this item
What does the 2 In NPT inlet mean for thread compatibility?
The male 2 In NPT inlet matches standard National Pipe Taper threads on drums and pails, creating a tapered seal without separate gaskets on the threads themselves.
What opening size and wall thickness does the faucet body require?
The faucet body threads into a 2 In NPT female opening; the polyethylene housing and EPDM seal need a flat, clean seat on the drum wall for the included gasket to seal.
How do you install it so the padlock hole and pail hook stay usable?
Thread the faucet into the drum by hand until the gasket seats, then tighten one turn with a strap wrench; orient the body so the padlock hole faces outward and the pail hook points down before final snug.
