Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to get BFM® spigots manufactured in different thicknesses?
No - all of our spigots are manufactured with the same thickness of steel - 2mm. The 100mm BFM® spigots are sized to fit standard 'dairy' tube, which is measured externally, all other BFM® spigot diameters are measured internally to accommodate nominal bore standard tube.
