A tap for use with a container closure of the type having a pair of resilient sealing plugs. The tap includes a body which supports spaced product and gas tubes adapted to be thrust through the resilient sealing plugs of the closure. When the tap is removed from the container, the gas tube separates from the tap body and remains in the respective sealing plug so as to vent pressure in the container safely to atmosphere. Stabilizing fins extend downwardly from the tap body and engage the top of the closure to help hold the tap in a secure vertical position on the container.
