Discussion

Jack den Haan Apr 12, 2013:
@Scott & Michael I think you're both pretty close, but that there is not necessarily a tap or faucet involved. To my mind, 'bondelaansluiting' in this case is a connection or coupling serving to attach the suction line or tube to the reservoir.
Michael Beijer Apr 12, 2013:
drum tap could it be called a 'drum tap (connection)' perhaps?

F Scott Ophof (X) Apr 11, 2013:
Some kind of plug or stopper Like what one rams into a beer barrel, the kind of thing that contains a tap or faucet.
See http://www.encyclo.nl/begrip/Bondel
Also see the first image for 'bondelaansluiting' on Google Images.
Not having any experience with the rituals of beer drinking, I have no idea what it might be called in English...

bung connection or adapter

Not absolutely sure, but I think they mean something like the parts shown in the references below for connecting the pump to the reservoir/container/drum etc.

Further ref. information from the dicos:

Grote Van Dale:

Oxford Dictionary:
bung = a stopper for closing a hole in a container (from Middle Dutch 'bonghe' (noun);

Another term would be a tube-to-bung coupling, or simply a bung coupling or coupler. There are numerous ref's on the Internet for this, for example:
http://www.google.com/patents/US6497260
In a preferred embodiment, a quick connect adaptor has a first coupling that attaches to the bung of a plastic blow molded drum by way of pivotal retainer members and a second coupling that connects to a conventional dispense head. The bung has internal or external threads and may have a radially extending circumferential lip or other retainer member engagement structure. The first coupling provides a secure attachment that is quickly accomplished by manual operation. In a preferred embodiment, the pivotal retaining members pivot into and out of a retention position with the radially and circumferential extending lip. The retaining members are mechanically linked with a circular manual handle member to operate the pivoting of said plurality of retaining members. The pivotal members are preferably biased toward the retention position. These couplings will generally utilize O-rings for sealing.

@Asker: Graag gedaan Geale. Alternatieve routes willen inderdaad wel eens werken ;-)
