Taps & Dispensing Valves

Product code F21-AT

Taps and breather valves. A can with a tap stops being something you lift and becomes something you draw from, which is a different job entirely.

Before you order: Tap material must be compatible with the contents. Brass is unsuitable for diesel exhaust fluid, which corrodes copper alloys. Confirm the application.

Taps & Dispensing Valves
Why It Is Built This Way

What makes this product different

01

Material follows the contents

Brass is fine for oil and water and wrong for DEF, which attacks copper alloys. Stainless or polymer where the contents demand it.

02

A breather makes a tap work

Draw liquid from a sealed can and it glugs, then stops. A breather valve lets air in so the flow stays even.

03

Bench and tailgate

The tap turns a portable can into a static dispensing point at a workshop bench, a pump or the back of a truck.

04

Retrofit or factory-fitted

Supplied loose for retrofit, or fitted to the tapped can lines at the factory.
