Value Collection STY-3030 Brass Rigid Drum Faucet 3/4 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION STY-3030 is a rigid drum faucet designed for controlled dispensing from 55-gallon drums and similar bulk fluid containers. Built with a self-closing valve mechanism and an external arrester, this faucet helps prevent unintended flow and reduces the risk of vapor ignition at the spout. The 3/4 inch NPT threaded connection mates with standard bung fittings. At 1.6 pounds, the unit is solid and durable enough for repeated daily use in shop, warehouse, or field environments. Installation and operation are handled by maintenance technicians, industrial supply staff, or plumbing trades familiar with drum handling equipment.

This drum faucet is suited for industrial and commercial applications where bulk liquids are dispensed from standard drums or barrels. Typical use scenarios include workshops, fleet maintenance facilities, manufacturing floors, and chemical storage areas. The self-closing closure type ensures flow stops automatically when the handle is released, reducing spill risk during transfer operations. The external arrester adds an additional layer of protection against flame propagation at the outlet, making it appropriate for use with flammable or combustible liquids where local regulations require flame mitigation at the point of dispense.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or plumbers familiar with drum dispensing equipment. Before installing, ensure the drum is stable and secured against rolling or tipping. Thread the 3/4 inch NPT fitting into the drum bung by hand first, then tighten with an appropriate wrench — do not overtighten, as this can damage the bung threads or faucet body. Verify that the self-closing mechanism operates freely and that the arrester is clear of obstruction before placing the drum into service.
