How to Install a Bottom Screw in a Tap

Author: Eliza Douglas   Date Posted: 13 July 2021

Here are some helpful tips and tricks on how to install a bottom screw tap!

If you're having trouble following the steps below, don't worry — we've got you covered.

Tools you'll need:

  1. Drum Spanner
  2. Knife
  3. Flathead Screwdriver
  4. Bottom Screw-in Tap

Before starting, make sure the drum is placed on a stable surface. Turn the drum so that the bottom bung is facing upward. This is crucial to prevent any liquid from spilling during the process. Once the bung is up, use the end of the drum spanner to carefully twist it open. You'll notice there's a piece of plastic behind it, which is designed to prevent leaks during transportation. (refer to pic 1)

Once the bottom bung has been removed, take your knife and start cutting a square shape in the center of the drum. The middle is the hardest part to cut, so we recommend making a square to make the job easier. (refer to pic 2)

After cutting through most of the way, use the flathead screwdriver to push the cut section inward once three sides are open. If one side is only partially cut, gently push it towards the inside of the drum. (refer to pic 3)

Once you have a clean hole in the drum, you can now install the bottom screw-in tap. Make sure it’s securely fastened and aligned properly. (refer to pic 4)

98%Tert-Butyl Peroxy Benzoate


Tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) a chemical compound from the group of peresters. It is often used as a radical initiator in polymerization reactions, such as the production of LDPE from ethylene, and for crosslinking, such as for unsaturated polyester resins.

TBPB is a low volatility ,high purity,liquid, aromatic peroxuester.it is effective as medium of a broad spectrum of monomers e.g .styrene.ethylenn,acrylics.it is also used to cure (copolymerzation) unsaturated resins .

TBPB is a clear light yellow liquid, which is little soluble in water but well in many organic solvents such as ethanol or phthalate.

As peroxo compound, TBPB contains about 8.16 wt% of active oxygen and has a self accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) of about 60 °C. The SADT is the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition in the transport packaging can occur within a week, and which should not be exceeded while storage or transportation.[2] TBPB should therefore be stored between minimum 10 °C (below solidification) and maximum 50 °C. Dilution with a high-boiling solvent increases the SADT. The half-life of TBPB, in which 50% of the peroxy ester is decomposed, is 10 hours at 104 °C, one hour at 124 °C and one minute at 165 °C. Amines, metal ions, strong acids and bases, as well as strong reducing and oxidizing agents accelerate the decomposition of TBPB even in low concentrations.[ However, TBPB is one of the safest peresters or organic peroxides in handling. The main decomposition products of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate are carbon dioxide, acetone, methane, tert-butanol, benzoic acid and benzene.
