Description
The 20L Drum Cock 3/4″ 90D PVC is a compact dispensing tap designed for controlled gravity-fed dispensing from compatible 20L drums, cubes and liquid containers with a 3/4″ threaded outlet.
Featuring a durable PVC construction and 90-degree outlet configuration, the drum cock provides a simple way to dispense lubricants, oils and other compatible liquids directly from bulk containers without repeatedly removing the drum cap or bung.
Ideal for workshops, service vehicles, factories, warehouses and general maintenance applications.
🛢️ Designed for 20L Drums
The drum cock is designed for compatible 20L containers using a 3/4″ threaded outlet.
Typical applications include:
- 20L lubricant drums
- 20L oil containers
- 20L chemical drums
- 20L plastic cubes
- Workshop liquid containers
- Industrial fluid containers
Always check the thread size of the container before installation.
🔩 3/4″ Threaded Connection
The drum cock features a:
- 3/4″ threaded connection
This common connection size is used on many commercial 20L plastic drums and cubes.
The threaded design allows the tap to be fitted directly into the compatible drum outlet, creating a convenient dispensing point.
↪️ 90-Degree Design
The 90-degree configuration directs the dispensing outlet downward when the tap is correctly installed.
This makes it easier to position a bottle, measuring container, jug or other suitable receptacle beneath the outlet.
The right-angle design is particularly useful when the drum is stored horizontally on:
- Workshop shelving
- Drum racks
- Benches
- Storage systems
- Service-vehicle shelving
💧 Controlled Liquid Dispensing
Installing a drum cock provides significantly more control than attempting to pour directly from a full 20L container.
The tap allows the required quantity of liquid to be dispensed while the main drum remains stationary.
This can help:
- Reduce spills
- Reduce product wastage
- Improve dispensing control
- Keep work areas cleaner
- Make bulk containers easier to use
- Reduce the need to lift heavy containers
🧴 Ideal for Bulk Lubricants
The drum cock is particularly convenient for compatible lubricants and maintenance fluids supplied in 20L containers.
Instead of lifting and pouring from the complete drum, the container can be positioned horizontally with the tap installed at the lower outlet.
The required amount of product can then be dispensed directly into a smaller container or applicator.
🔧 Workshop Applications
The 20L Drum Cock is ideal for workshop environments where liquids are regularly dispensed from bulk containers.
Typical applications include:
- Automotive workshops
- Garage door workshops
- Gate automation workshops
- Mechanical workshops
- Maintenance facilities
- Factories
- Warehouses
- Service departments
- Trade workshops
Its simple mechanical design makes it convenient for everyday dispensing applications.
🚐 Service & Trade Applications
The compact PVC construction also makes the drum cock useful for trade and service environments where compatible 20L containers are stored for regular use.
It provides a simple dispensing solution without requiring an electric or manual drum pump.
🪣 Gravity-Fed Operation
The drum cock operates using gravity.
When the container is positioned appropriately, liquid flows through the tap when it is opened.
No electrical supply, batteries or separate pump are required.
For best dispensing performance, the drum may require appropriate venting depending on the container design and liquid being dispensed.
🧱 PVC Construction
The drum cock is manufactured from PVC, providing a lightweight and corrosion-resistant dispensing solution.
PVC construction also keeps the tap compact and easy to install compared with heavier metal dispensing valves.
Chemical compatibility must always be checked before using the tap with solvents, fuels, aggressive chemicals or other specialised liquids.
🧰 Simple Installation
Installation is straightforward on a compatible drum.
The existing 3/4″ bung or cap is removed and the drum cock is threaded into the outlet.
The tap should be tightened sufficiently to provide a secure seal while avoiding excessive force that could damage the plastic thread or valve body.
Once installed, the outlet should be positioned downward for convenient dispensing.
📦 Compact & Convenient
The small size of the drum cock makes it easy to keep as a workshop accessory or spare.
It is particularly useful when purchasing lubricants and maintenance products in economical 20L bulk containers.

🔗 Compatibility
Designed for compatible drums and containers using a 3/4″ threaded outlet.
Typical applications include:
- 20L plastic drums
- 20L lubricant drums
- 20L liquid containers
- 20L plastic cubes
- Compatible workshop fluid containers
Always confirm the container thread before ordering.
Thread diameter alone should not be used to determine compatibility. The thread form and pitch must also match the drum outlet.
Chemical compatibility between the PVC tap and the liquid being dispensed must also be confirmed before use.
⚠️ Please Note
Check the thread size and thread type of your drum before ordering.
This drum cock is designed for compatible 3/4″ threaded drum outlets.
Do not force the tap into an incompatible thread, as this can damage the tap or drum outlet.
Do not overtighten plastic threads.
The tap operates by gravity and the container must be positioned appropriately for dispensing.
Some containers may require venting to allow smooth and continuous liquid flow.
Always confirm PVC compatibility with the liquid being dispensed before use.
Do not assume suitability for fuels, aggressive solvents, corrosive chemicals or other hazardous liquids without first confirming material compatibility.
Ensure the tap is fully closed before transporting or repositioning the container.
