The FoodGrade compliant 2-inch plastic drum faucet with padlockable handle is designed for dispensing viscous, corrosive, and food-grade liquids from compatible drums. Its polyethylene body gives you a practical way to control liquid flow while avoiding many concerns linked with metal dispensing hardware. The faucet also fits common 2-inch bung openings used on industrial drums.

You can add more control to your dispensing setup with the faucet’s padlockable handle. An optional padlock or pull-tight security seal can help restrict use or show evidence of tampering. This makes the faucet useful when drums are stored in shared production, warehouse, food processing, maintenance, or material handling areas where controlled dispensing is important.

Three EPDM gaskets are included to support installation on several common 2-inch drum bung styles. The gasket selection helps create a dependable seal between the faucet and drum opening when properly installed. EPDM is commonly valued for its durability in liquid handling applications, giving you a convenient sealing system without needing to source several separate gaskets before installation.

A removable 3/4-inch plug adds flexibility to the faucet assembly. You can use this connection to install a compatible liquid level sight gauge when your application requires easier level monitoring. This setup lets operators check drum contents without repeatedly opening the container, helping create a cleaner and more organized liquid dispensing station for routine industrial or food handling tasks.

The built-in pail hook gives you a simple place to store an empty pail between dispensing jobs. It is intended only for empty-container storage and should never support the weight of a filled pail. Combined with its security and sight-gauge options, this plastic drum faucet provides a flexible solution for controlled dispensing from compatible food-grade and industrial drums.

This 2-inch drum faucet works well anywhere operators need a simple gravity-fed dispensing point for compatible liquids. You can use it with drums holding ingredients, processing fluids, cleaning solutions, syrups, oils, or other suitable materials. Its straightforward design can help reduce handling steps when workers regularly transfer smaller amounts from a bulk drum into portable containers.

The polyethylene body is especially useful in environments where corrosion resistance matters. Unlike a metal faucet that may be unsuitable for certain liquids, this plastic design provides another option for chemical handling and food processing setups. Always confirm that the faucet, EPDM seals, and drum materials are chemically compatible with the specific product you plan to dispense.

For added tamper control, the handle can accept the optional ML1 padlock. You can also use an 8SEL8-PTRD eight-inch pull-tight security seal when visible tamper evidence is preferred. Because the seal must be cut for removal, it can help staff quickly identify whether someone has accessed the faucet since the seal was installed.

The faucet can also become part of a more complete drum management system. Adding a compatible sight gauge allows operators to monitor remaining liquid while keeping the main drum opening closed. This can be helpful in batching, filling, production, commercial kitchens, ingredient handling, and maintenance areas where workers need a quick visual reference before starting another dispensing task.
