Tapping fitting for a transport and storage container for liquids and transport and storage container with such tapping fitting

摘要

A tapping fitting, particularly a flap or ball cock, with a fitting housing made from plastic for connection to a drain spigot of a plastic container for liquids, particularly an interior container of a transport and storage container. The fitting housing is provided with a conductive device at least part of which is made from electrically conductive plastic for dissipating an electrostatic charge. The conductive device is the conductive device has an integrally conformed earthing conductor for the electrically conductive connection of the conductive device to a ground potential and is also connected integrally with the fitting housing.

1. A tapping fitting, comprising:
a fitting housing comprising plastic for connection to a drain spigot of a plastic container for liquids, wherein the fitting housing is provided with a conductive device at least part of which is made from electrically conductive plastic for dissipating an electrostatic charge, wherein the conductive device has an integrally conformed earthing conductor for an electrically conductive connection of the conductive device to a ground potential, said conductive device being integrally connected with the fitting housing, wherein the conductive device has a flow deflection body configured as an axial extension of the earthing conductor, said fitting housing comprising a channel wall and a flow channel, the flow deflection body being disposed within and perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the flow channel so that the deflection body is fully exposed in a free flow cross-section of the flow channel formed by the channel wall, said deflection body being integrally connected to said earthing conductor, wherein said deflection body and said earthing conductor define a single, unitary one-piece conductive structure, wherein the flow deflection body has a flow profile.
