OVERVIEW

Reliable Chemical Dispensing with Walter Drum Spigots

The Walter Surface Technologies 53L118 Drum Spigot is an essential accessory for any industrial facility handling bulk chemicals. Designed specifically for standard 208L (55-gallon) drums, this high-quality plastic faucet transforms heavy barrels into convenient dispensing stations. Whether you are managing a fleet of maintenance fluids, refilling smaller spray bottles with cleaners, or dispensing coolants for machining operations, this spigot ensures a controlled and safe flow of liquid.

Constructed from durable polyethylene, the 53L118 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Unlike metal faucets that may corrode when exposed to certain acids, alkalis, or water-based solvents, this plastic unit remains unaffected by most standard industrial chemicals. This chemical resistance extends the lifespan of the accessory and prevents contamination of your fluids. The unit features a standard 3/4-inch NPT thread, making it universally compatible with the small bung opening found on most steel and plastic drums.

Safety and cleanliness are paramount in the workplace. Using a proper spigot eliminates the dangerous and messy practice of tipping drums to pour. The easy-to-operate lever handle provides instant on/off control, allowing users to dispense the exact amount needed without drips or spills. This not only reduces waste but also minimizes slip hazards on the shop floor. Lightweight yet robust, the Walter 53L118 is a simple, effective tool that enhances efficiency in fluid management.

FAQ

The Walter 53L118 is designed to fit standard 208L (55-gallon) drums with a 3/4" NPT threaded opening.

It is made of polyethylene, which offers excellent resistance to many acids, alkalis, and solvents. However, always check the chemical compatibility of your specific fluid with polyethylene.

The spigot features a standard 3/4 inch NPT male thread.

While it can dispense oils, the flow rate may be slower for high-viscosity fluids compared to thin liquids like water or solvents.

NPT threads are tapered and generally seal themselves, but using thread seal tape (Teflon tape) is recommended for a guaranteed leak-proof connection.

Yes, the spigot can be removed from an empty drum, cleaned, and installed on a new drum.

Simply screw the spigot into the 3/4" bung opening of the drum by hand or with a wrench until tight. Ensure the spout is facing downwards.

Technically it is a gravity-feed spigot or faucet, not a mechanical pump. It requires the drum to be tipped horizontally to dispense fluid.
