The Burkle PP Ball Valve is a polypropylene ball valve designed for controlled draining, transfer, and dosing of liquids from containers, storage vessels, and process tanks with a G 3/4" connection thread. Its adjustable spout and angled discharge make it practical for directing liquids into smaller containers, collection vessels, or connected tubing.
Made primarily from polypropylene (PP), this valve is designed for use in laboratories, production facilities, workshops, and industrial environments where reliable liquid flow control is required. The valve's connecting union nut allows it to be positioned vertically on the container, while the adjustable spout provides flexibility when directing the discharge.
Polypropylene construction: The valve is made primarily from polypropylene, a material selected by Bürkle for its chemical resistance and suitability for handling many liquid media. Always check the manufacturer's chemical-resistance information for compatibility with your specific liquid.
G 3/4" threaded connection: The valve is designed for containers with a G 3/4" connection thread, making the connection specification an important selection point when replacing or adding a drain valve.
Adjustable discharge: The spigot can be positioned as required, helping direct liquid where it needs to go during draining, transfer, or dosing.
Angled discharge with spout: The angled outlet helps direct liquid into a receiving container or collection vessel rather than simply discharging straight down.
Optional hose connection: A compatible hose nozzle can be used to connect tubing to the valve, allowing liquid to be directed to a container or location farther from the valve.
Designed for regular use: Burkle describes the valve as having robust, industrial-grade construction for regular use in laboratories, industry, production facilities, and workshops.

Before ordering, confirm that your container has the required G 3/4" connection thread. Thread adapters are available for certain other container configurations. Chemical compatibility should also be confirmed for the specific liquid being handled. The manufacturer's maximum pressure rating is 4 bar at +20°C and should not be treated as a general pressure rating at other temperatures or conditions.
Burkle lists several complementary products for this ball valve, including thread sealing tape and hose nozzles. A compatible hose nozzle can allow a hose to be connected directly to the valve so liquid can be directed into a more distant receiving container.
The most important selection criterion for this valve is the container connection. This model uses a G 3/4" threaded connection. Verify the thread specification on your container before ordering.
The valve is intended for liquid control, draining, transfer, and dosing applications. It should not be selected solely on the basis of material compatibility; confirm chemical resistance for the particular liquid, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions involved.
For applications requiring a different connection, discharge configuration, flow characteristic, or material, a different Bürkle valve or an appropriate adapter may be more suitable.

This Burkle PP Ball Valve is available through Cambridge with CAD pricing and Canadian purchasing support. If you are unsure whether the G 3/4" connection or valve configuration matches your container, contact Cambridge before ordering and provide the container manufacturer, model, connection size, and the liquid being handled.
The valve is used to control, drain, transfer, and manually dose liquids from compatible containers, storage vessels, and process tanks.
This model uses a G 3/4" threaded connection. Confirm that your container uses the same connection specification before ordering.
The main valve material is polypropylene (PP). Burkle also identifies PE-LD and PVC among the product's specified materials.
Yes. Burkle lists compatible hose nozzles as complementary accessories. These allow a hose to be connected to the discharge valve for controlled liquid transfer.
The manufacturer's specified maximum pressure is 4 bar (approximately 58 psi) at +20°C. Do not assume this rating applies unchanged at different temperatures or operating conditions.
Yes. Burkle specifically identifies laboratories among the intended environments for this ball valve, along with industrial, production, and workshop applications.
Polypropylene provides chemical resistance to many liquids, but suitability depends on the specific chemical, concentration, temperature, and exposure conditions. Check the manufacturer's chemical-resistance information before use.
Yes. Cambridge Environmental Products provides Canadian purchasing support and CAD pricing for laboratory and industrial products.
Check the container's outlet connection and confirm that it is compatible with a G 3/4" threaded connection. If you are unsure, provide Cambridge with the container manufacturer and model number so the connection can be checked before purchase.
If you are replacing a container valve or are unsure which Burkle connection will fit your application, Cambridge can help you identify the appropriate configuration.
When contacting us, include the container manufacturer and model, connection/thread size, liquid or media being handled, required hose connection, and any relevant operating conditions. This information will help us recommend a compatible valve or accessory.
