Buying advice

Consider the liquid type (corrosiveness, viscosity, temperature) and the drum bung size (most 55-gallon drums use 2" NPT, while pails use 3/4" or 1"). For general use, polyethylene or polypropylene is cost-effective; for harsh chemicals, choose brass or specialized plastics. Check if you need self-closing, anti-siphon, or lockable features.
