Why Buyers Love This 55 Gallon Black Tight Head Drum

Look up top and you will find drain vents molded right in, plus two 2″ openings. The NPS bung comes with a plug and a 3/4″ center reducer faucet carrier, and the buttress bung has its own plug, both sealed with EPDM gaskets. The drum is optimally drainable, so less product is left behind. The original single L-ring design means easy handling and a long service life.

Where It Shines

It has the same dimensions as a steel drum, so it drops straight into standard handling and conveying setups. Lift it by the molded top ring with a parrot’s beak, side grabber, hoist, forklift or hand truck, or grab the bottom handhold. Seamless closed head construction suits outdoor use from 140°F down to -40°F. Rain, sun or loading dock, it keeps calm and carries on.
