Detailed information

This polypropylene thread adapter allows for the easy connection of a ball valve (drain tap) to various drum or container threads. The adapter has a ¾″ (G 3/4″) female thread, compatible with the inlet thread of standard commercial ball valves. This means a ¾″ ball valve can be securely screwed into a drum opening without the need for special tools. Made of durable, chemically resistant PP, the adapter withstands the effects of the stored medium and ensures a leak-tight connection. With this adapter, attaching a drain tap to a drum or jerrycan is quick and simple – it provides the standard connection between different thread types.

Wherever a drain tap needs to be retrofitted onto a drum or jerrycan – for example, to conveniently dispense liquids from a storage drum using a ball valve. In chemical storage, this adapter allows drums containing acids or bases to be quickly fitted with a tap without opening the drum. In workshops or laboratories, solvent drums can be handled more safely: instead of pouring every time, liquid can be dispensed directly through the tap. In the food industry (e.g., syrup or oil drums), the adapter enables the installation of hygienic PP taps. The thread adapter for ball valves is therefore a small but essential accessory for connecting different thread standards and significantly improving workflow when handling liquids.
