Burkle Compact Spigot – G 3/4" Cap Nut

Burkle Compact Spigot – G 3/4" Cap Nut The Burkle Compact spigot is a space-saving liquid dispensing tap designed for canisters and barrels with a G 3/4" connection. Its compact construction and short outlet make it particularly useful where installation space is limited, including refrigerators, storage racks, laboratory workspaces and other confined areas. The short discharge does not extend beyond the lower edge of the container, helping keep the overall container footprint compact. The optimised outlet produces an even liquid stream with reduced splashing, while the connecting cap nut allows the spigot to be positioned vertically and adjusted after installation. Space-saving liquid dispensing The Compact spigot is designed for applications where a conventional longer outlet would interfere with racks, shelves, refrigerators or other surrounding equipment. Its compact body keeps the discharge close to the container. Why Choose the Burkle Compact Spigot? Compact, space-saving design for installation where clearance is limited. Short discharge that does not protrude beyond the lower edge of the container. G 3/4" cap-nut connection for compatible containers. 13 mm outlet diameter for controlled liquid dispensing. Optimised outlet design for an even stream with reduced splashing and spattering. Freely positionable tap that can be adjusted to maintain the desired orientation. Plug-valve design with low flow rate. PP, PTFE and PE-LD materials selected for chemical resistance applications. Designed for Confined Spaces Conventional container taps can extend beyond the bottom edge of a canister, making storage difficult in refrigerators, racks and other restricted spaces. The Burkle Compact spigot addresses this problem with a short discharge that keeps the outlet close to the container. This makes it particularly suitable for laboratory liquid storage and dispensing systems where available space is limited. Burkle specifically identifies refrigerators and racks as applications where the compact construction is advantageous. Technical Specifications Manufacturer Burkle Product Compact spigot SKU 0530-1000 Connection type Thread Connection size G 3/4" Connection version Cap nut General material PP (polypropylene) Further materials PTFE, PE-LD (LDPE) Outlet diameter 13 mm OD Valve design Plug valve Flow rate Low flow rate Dimensions 64 L × 52 W × 69 H mm Colour Blue Packaging unit 1 piece Connection and Positioning The Compact spigot uses a G 3/4" cap-nut connection and is designed to fit containers with G 3/4" connecting threads. The connecting cap nut helps maintain a vertical valve position while also allowing the tap to be adjusted after installation. Burkle specifically identifies the Compact spigot as suitable for its compact jerrycans and other compatible containers. The manufacturer states that the spigot fits containers with G 3/4" connecting threads. Connection compatibility: Verify that your container has a compatible G 3/4" connecting thread before ordering. Chemical compatibility should also be confirmed for the specific liquid being handled. Materials and Chemical Resistance The Compact spigot is manufactured primarily from polypropylene (PP), with PTFE and low-density polyethylene (PE-LD) also specified by Burkle. The manufacturer identifies PP, PE and PTFE as materials offering strong chemical resistance to acids and alkalis. For specific chemicals, concentrations and operating conditions, consult the manufacturer's chemical-resistance information before use. Typical Applications Application Benefit Laboratory liquid storage Compact dispensing from compatible storage containers. Refrigerated storage Short outlet helps minimise interference with surrounding space. Storage racks Compact design is useful where container clearance is restricted. Liquid dispensing Optimised outlet provides an even, low-flow stream. Compact jerrycans Designed as an accessory for compatible Burkle compact jerrycans. Compact Spigot vs. Burkle StopCock The Compact spigot and Burkle StopCock products are both designed for liquid dispensing, but the Compact spigot prioritises minimal installation footprint. Its short outlet and compact body make it particularly appropriate where the container needs to remain within a tight storage space. If you need a different outlet configuration, Burkle also offers StopCock accessories such as angled outlets and hose nozzles for applications requiring more directional or remote liquid transfer. Frequently Asked Questions What thread size does the Compact spigot use? The Compact spigot uses a G 3/4" connection with a cap nut. Burkle states that it fits containers with G 3/4" connecting threads. What is the outlet diameter? The outlet has an outside diameter of 13 mm. Why is this spigot useful in refrigerators and racks? The Compact spigot has a short discharge that does not protrude beyond the lower edge of the container. This reduces the space required around the container compared with a longer dispensing outlet. Can the spigot be repositioned after installation? Yes. The connecting cap nut allows the valve to be positioned vertically and adjusted after installation. Burkle also lists the tap as freely positionable. What materials is the Compact spigot made from? The general material is PP (polypropylene), with PTFE and PE-LD also specified by the manufacturer. Is the Compact spigot suitable for acids and alkalis? Burkle identifies PP, PE and PTFE as materials with strong chemical resistance to acids and alkalis. Specific chemical compatibility should still be verified for the liquid, concentration and operating conditions. Need Help Selecting a Liquid Dispensing Tap?
