CPC

Drum and bottle connectors

This group covers the CPC systems for drawing liquids straight out of their container: DrumQuik PRO and PUR for drums, jerry cans and IBC totes, and BQ45GL caps for GL45 laboratory bottles. The closed design keeps fumes inside the container and prevents spills when containers are swapped. DrumQuik components are rated up to 3.1 bar and, depending on the version, from -29 to 49 °C, with bodies in polypropylene, polyethylene, HDPE or PVDF and seals in EPDM, FKM or FFKM.

How to choose Drum and bottle connectors

What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.

Selection criteria

Criterion	Available	Note
Container	Drum, jerry can, IBC, GL45 lab bottle	DrumQuik for drums and IBCs, BQ45GL for media bottles in the lab.
Body material	Polypropylene, polyethylene, HDPE, PVDF, nylon, aluminium	Go for PVDF when polypropylene is not resistant enough to the medium.
Seal	EPDM, FKM, FFKM	EPDM for aqueous media, FKM for solvents and oils, FFKM for special cases.
Temperature	-29 to 49 °C, -18 to 49 °C, 0 to 49 °C	The range depends on body and seal of the specific version.
Pressure	up to 3.1 bar	Designed for pump-driven dispensing, not for pressurised lines.
Connection	1/2 NPT, G3/4 (BSPP), 1/2" and 3/4" hose barb	Pick the thread that matches the pump or line.

Frequently asked questions

How does a closed dispensing system work?: The drum insert and dip tube stay in the container and the coupler is simply connected to it. On disconnection the valves close, so neither liquid nor vapour escapes and the contents never have to be decanted in the open.
Which containers does DrumQuik fit?: DrumQuik is intended for plastic drums, jerry cans and IBC totes. Drum inserts are available for the 2" buttress thread used on North American drums and for the 56x4 (BCS) thread of European plastic drums, among others.
What is the BQ45GL series used for?: BQ45GL replaces the lid of a GL45 laboratory bottle with a cap carrying a coupling or connection fitting. Consumable media can then be changed or refilled without opening the bottle.
Which seal suits my medium?: EPDM works for aqueous solutions, alkalis and many acids, FKM for oils and many solvents. FFKM is meant for media that attack FKM as well. If in doubt, check the chemical resistance chart for the medium.
What pressure is permitted?: DrumQuik components are rated up to 3.1 bar. They are built for dispensing with a pump, not for pressurised lines.
