Our pump tube length specifications are always from the lower edge of the pump foot to the centre of the pump tube outlet. In general, you can say that for a standard IBC, a pump tube with a length of 1200mm and for a 200 litre drum, a pump tube with a length of 1000mm is sufficient. For smaller containers, simply measure the height of the drum and add approx. 200mm so that the outlet has sufficient space above the container. Important to know. Longer pump tubes also fit on smaller containers, e.g. a 1200 pump tube on a 200 litre drum, but it must be noted that the stability of smaller containers must be checked, as the whole thing can quickly become top-heavy with empty drums and there is a risk of tipping over.
