ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for tapping a container including an open-ended shell with an interiorly-disposed absorbent pad, both having a radial aperture. A sleeve, in registration with the aperture, slidingly and sealingly receives a tap assembly. The tap assembly includes a tubular tap with a radially extending pin and a split collar having a slot for receiving the pin. The shell closely receives a container, then the user urges the tap through the sleeve toward the container and pierces the container. Flowable material in the container flows out of the tap. A method of use is also provided.
