Stainless Steel Drum and Container Tap
The Burkle 0535-0020 is designed for draining liquids from drums and containers. Its stainless steel construction provides a robust alternative to plastic or brass dispensing taps when the application calls for stainless steel equipment.
The outlet can be rotated through 360°, allowing the dispensing direction to be adjusted to suit the receiving container or workspace. The manufacturer also provides a practical suspension device and an eyelet for shutting off the spigot.
Self-Closing Piston Valve
The 0535-0020 uses a self-closing piston valve with a low flow rate. The self-closing design automatically returns the spigot to the closed position when it is no longer being operated.
This makes the spigot suitable for controlled dispensing applications where the outlet should not remain open unintentionally.
360° Adjustable Outlet
The stainless steel spigot features an outlet that can be turned 360° and positioned as required. This allows the dispensing direction to be adjusted without changing the orientation of the container connection.
The adjustable outlet can be useful when transferring liquid into containers of different sizes or when workspace clearance makes a fixed outlet position inconvenient.

R 3/4" External Thread Connection
The 0535-0020 uses an R 3/4" external thread. The connection should be matched to the compatible threaded opening on the drum, barrel, container, or adapter.
Compatibility note: Verify the complete threaded connection before ordering. R 3/4" is a specific pipe-thread designation and should not be assumed to be interchangeable with every G 3/4" connection.
Materials and Seals
The main body of the spigot is manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel (1.4301). The manufacturer specifies PTFE and FKM/FPM as further materials used in the product.
Material compatibility depends on the specific liquid, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions. For chemical applications, verify compatibility with the intended medium before use.
