Finish Thompson M100088 Galvanized Steel Bung Adapter
Finish Thompson supplies the M100088 as the galvanized steel bung adapter for PF, BT and TM drum pumps. It threads into the drum bung and holds the pump upright and steady in the container. It is built in galvanized steel, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
Most pumps see this part replaced well before the pump itself needs attention. Adapters are replaced when the thread is damaged or the coating has been eaten away, and a loose adapter lets the pump lean and puts a side load on the tube. Confirm the material and size against your pump before ordering, as the same position is offered in several variants across this range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should anything else be replaced at the same time?
Whatever the teardown exposes. Elastomers and bushings are inexpensive and are best renewed while the pump is already apart.
Q: What causes most premature failures on this part?
Running the pump outside what it was specified for, whether that is temperature, viscosity, dry running or an incompatible chemical.
Q: Does fitting this affect the pump warranty?
Using the factory part keeps the pump to its original specification, which is what any warranty position depends on.
Q: How should the pump be flushed before service?
With a fluid known to be compatible, so the parts can be handled safely and the old chemical is not carried into the rebuild.
