55 Gallon Blue Tight Head Plastic Drum, UN Rated, 2″ NPT & 2″ Buttress Fittings

Why Buyers Love This Blue Tight Head Drum

Drain vents are molded into the top. The 2″ NPT plug includes a 3/4″ center reducer faucet carrier, and the 2″ buttress opening has its own plug, both sealed with EPDM gaskets. The drum is optimally drainable, and the original single L-ring design delivers easy handling and a long service life. It complies with FDA regulations for food and drugs.

Where It Shines

It shares the same dimensions as a steel drum, so it slots into standard handling and conveying lines. Lift it by the molded top ring with a parrot’s beak, side grabber, hoist, forklift or hand truck, or use the bottom handhold. Seamless closed head construction suits outdoor use, and you can fill it at up to 150°F. Rain or shine, it holds the line.
