ChemWand® – FAQs

Is ChemWand® suitable for all chemicals?

No. Customers have an infinite range of possible fluids and operating conditions, some of which are incompatible with ChemWand® and all of which are beyond the control of ChemIndustrial Systems, Inc.

Unintended consequences may result from the use of this product. So it is the user’s responsibility to carefully evaluate and test ChemWand® for compatibility for use in any particular application.

The user shall assume all risks associated with use of this product.

 

Does ChemWand® allow a drum to be pressurized?

No. Standard drums are not built to withstand internal pressure or vacuum so ChemWand® has an engineered vent to keep the drum at atmospheric pressure.

 

How much vertical adjustment does ChemWand® allow?

Approximately 3″, which is enough to accommodate differences between metal and plastic drums. It’s also sufficient to deal with most remanufactured “shortie” drums.

 

Do you sell custom ChemWand® lengths?

Yes. The modular ChemWand® design allows us to offer specials quickly and at reasonable prices. Call us to discuss any custom requirements.

 

Can I order special lengths for totes, IBCs and custom portable tanks?

Yes. Just measure the distance from the top lip of the 2″ female fitting to the bottom of the vessel and plug this value (in inches) into the part number.

 

What about vessels that are smaller than a drum?

Same thing. Just measure the distance from the top lip of the 2″ female fitting to the bottom of the vessel and plug this value (in inches) into the part number.

 

Are special ChemWand® lengths priced differently from standard ones?

Yes. Please check with ChemIndustrial for pricing on custom lengths.

 

How can I use a ChemWand® on a drum’s buttress thread?

ChemIndustrial sells two adapter types for buttress drum connections:

      • 2″ FPT to 2″ USA buttress adapter
      • 2″ FPT to 50mm Euro buttress adapter

 

What about 2″ BSP thread adapters?

The standard 2″ ChemWand® fitting fits the following:

      • 2″ USA FPT drum fittings AND
      • the similar 2″BSP threaded drum connections used in
        the UK and many other countries
