Why Buyers Love This 55 Gallon Natural Tight Head Drum

The top features molded drain vents and two plugged bungs. The 2″ NPT plug includes a 3/4″ center reducer faucet carrier, the 2″ buttress opening has its own plug, and both seal with EPDM gaskets. The drum is optimally drainable, and the original single L-ring design gives you easy material handling and a long service life. It complies with FDA regulations for food and drugs.

Where It Shines

Same dimensions as a steel drum, so it fits standard handling and conveying lines without a fuss. 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 makes it suitable for outdoor use, and you can fill it at up to 150°F.
