Bakery87 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hey everyone, I'm looking for a good source to purchase barrel tools. I'll need them for filling and removing bungs/sampling. I've looked at Union Jack and GW Kent but haven't found anything great from them. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Haas Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 1. Auto body slide hammer kit for around $20 on ebay.https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=3+lb+auto+slide+hammer+kit&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=15&_odkw=auto+slide+hammer 2. Special tool by Storz, $280.https://www.stortz.com/product/bung-puller/ Option 1 has worked well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakery87 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Thanks for the reply Jedd. I'm still looking for a good barrel filler. Our local fire department is requiring us to have a "dead man's valve" for filling. I think GW Kent may have something that fits that bill, or I'll need to order a spring loaded valve to do the job. I've found a few bulldogs out there, or gas station style handles. I'm surprised I cannot find anything more than a couple of small online stores that carry such items.

Jedd Haas Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 There are several previous threads that discuss "gas pump" style filling valves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakery87 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have seen those, and am not interested in a gas pump style. I think that's where I'm having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 If they want a dead man valve, just add one? Use something like this and just add threaded to triclamp adapters. Or thread some stainless pipe in as a nozzle, and use the triclamp on the other. Easy-peasy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224008286563?hash=item3427ef3163:g:W34AAOSwETxec5Yj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
