You get them in stable yards for bucket filling, normal ballcock keeps a 200 ish ltr tank filled and one of those valves at the bottom of the tank fills the bucket in seconds, kick it shut with your boot.

Molasses tap. At least that's what I know them as. Also used on drums of polyester resin and other viscous liquids.

I have a bronze one on my epoxy resin drum. Very common in the GRP business.

Looks very like that one.
