Burkle Spigot "Air" Self-Venting – G 3/4"

Burkle Spigot "Air" Self-Venting Liquid Dispensing Tap The Burkle Spigot "Air" is a self-venting liquid dispensing tap designed for canisters, barrels and other compatible containers with a G 3/4" external-thread connection. Its integrated self-venting design eliminates the need for an additional ventilation opening in the container. Made from polyethylene (PE) with a silicone seal, the Spigot "Air" provides controlled, low-flow liquid dispensing through a cylindrical plug valve. The transparent, colourless construction allows the valve to remain visually unobtrusive on the container. Key advantage: integrated self-venting The Spigot "Air" is designed so that no additional ventilation opening is required. This makes it a convenient option when adding a dispensing tap to compatible liquid-storage containers. Key Features Self-venting design eliminates the need for an additional ventilation opening. G 3/4" external thread for connection to compatible containers. PE (polyethylene) construction with silicone sealing material. 13 mm nominal diameter for liquid flow. 22 mm outlet outside diameter. Cylindrical plug valve for opening and closing liquid flow. Low flow rate for controlled dispensing. Transparent/colourless construction. Self-Venting Design for Easier Liquid Dispensing When liquid is dispensed from a closed container, air needs to enter the container to replace the volume of liquid being removed. The Burkle Spigot "Air" incorporates a self-venting function, so the container does not require a separate ventilation opening for the intended dispensing setup. This can simplify container preparation and reduce the number of separate fittings required when adding a dispensing valve to compatible canisters or barrels.

Burkle identifies G 3/4" as the connection thread for this spigot and lists it as an external-thread version. Always verify the thread type and connection dimensions of the container before ordering. Thread adapters may be required for containers with different connection configurations. Compatibility note: The G 3/4" thread specification refers to the connection size and configuration. Confirm that your container has a compatible G 3/4" internal connection before installation. PE Construction and Chemical Compatibility The main body is manufactured from polyethylene (PE), with silicone specified as the further material. PE is commonly used for liquid-handling components because of its broad chemical resistance. However, chemical resistance depends on the specific liquid, concentration, temperature and exposure conditions. Consult Burkle's chemical-resistance information before using the spigot with aggressive or chemically incompatible media. Typical Applications Application Benefit Canister dispensing Adds controlled liquid dispensing to compatible containers. Barrel dispensing Provides a G 3/4" threaded dispensing connection. Laboratory liquid handling Provides controlled, low-flow dispensing from storage containers. Liquid storage systems Integrated self-venting reduces the need for a separate ventilation opening. Spigot "Air" vs. Standard Spigots The primary advantage of the Spigot "Air" is its self-venting function. Unlike a conventional dispensing tap that may require a separate ventilation arrangement for a closed container, this model is designed with integrated venting. This makes it particularly useful when the goal is to add a straightforward dispensing point to a compatible container without installing a separate ventilation opening. Frequently Asked Questions What makes the Burkle Spigot "Air" different? The key feature is its self-venting design. Burkle states that no additional ventilation opening is required. What thread size does the Spigot "Air" use? It uses a G 3/4" external thread. What is the nominal diameter? The manufacturer specifies a 13 mm nominal diameter. The outlet outside diameter is 22 mm. What material is the spigot made from? The general material is PE (polyethylene), with silicone specified as a further material for the sealing components. What type of valve does it use? The Spigot "Air" uses a cylindrical plug valve and is specified by Burkle as a low-flow-rate spigot. Does it require a separate ventilation opening? No. The manufacturer specifically states that no additional ventilation opening is required for the self-venting Spigot "Air". Need Help Selecting a Container Spigot?
