OVERVIEW

Efficient Fluid Handling for Welding & Fabrication Shops

Keep your shop clean and your chemicals accessible with the Walter 53L118 Plastic Drum Spigot. In welding and fabrication environments, bulk chemicals like anti-spatter fluids, degreasers, and surface cleaners are often purchased in 55-gallon (208L) drums to save costs. However, accessing these fluids can be a challenge without the right equipment. The Walter 53L118 is the perfect solution, converting your storage drums into easy-to-use gravity-feed dispensers.

This spigot is engineered from high-density polyethylene, a material chosen for its excellent resistance to a broad spectrum of industrial chemicals. It is particularly well-suited for use with Walter's line of Bio-Circle cleaners and lubricants, ensuring that the dispensing equipment does not degrade over time. The 3/4-inch NPT male thread ensures a secure, leak-free connection to the drum's bung, while the ergonomic handle makes operation simple even when wearing work gloves.

Installing the 53L118 is quick and requires no special tools—simply screw it into the drum's designated port. Once installed, the drum can be placed horizontally on a cradle or rack, allowing gravity to do the work. This setup is ideal for filling sprayers, buckets, or smaller containers efficiently. By providing a steady, controllable stream, this spigot helps maintain a safer workspace by preventing splashes and reducing the physical strain associated with handling heavy liquid containers.

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.
