Brass Rain Barrel Spigot Kit. Lead-free Compliant. 3/4 Inch Quarter Turn Ball Valve. Rain Barrel Kit For Any Including 5 55 Gallon Drum Spigot Bucket, with Bulkhead Fitting, Tape

Item came with installation instructions and were super easy. It's a bit of a challenge to get the interior piece in place, but the string and instructions made it easier. And this piece is a necessity -- it prevents leaks, and works perfectly at doing that. The spigot is high quality and the handle is a nice touch. This is replacing a rain barrel that split over the winter, so I had to DIY this, and compared to the last one, this is much better quality and gives me a lot of options for hoses and other attachments. Great value. Turn your plastic barrel into a rain barrel for just a little bit of money!

installed just as direction said and works great. Takes a little effort to get the threaded end through the barrel It has to be lined up straight but managed after several tries

High quality and worked great for our homemade rain barrel.

The media could not be loaded. I used to have a bathtub drain in our big duck pool and then the pool finally got a hole in it over the winter so I threw the whole thing away and started from scratch and was trying to decide if I really wanted to do the bathtub drain with PVC pipe. So I gave this a try. Install was very easy! When taking it apart you have to twist right to loosen it. Not sure if that is the problem some people had with not being able to get the pieces apart or not. No leaks so far. Def need to hold the spout when turning the handle to open and close since a kiddie pool is not very sturdy. But this will save my back from having to pick up one side and dump out all that water. I will update if I have any problems.

This spigot is exactly what was needed to transform 2 barrels into a rainwater collection system. Well made and seemingly durable. installation was easy, and unit works perfectly.

This fitting is made very well. The O ring is the proper size. The bulkhead that inserts from the inside of the tank is nice heavy brass. The 1/4 turn ball valve is easily turned on and off. Most important notes to add.... Drill the hole in the barrel with a hole saw. A hole saw has a center mandrel that will guide the saw thru the barrel without wobble. I also lightly sanded the newly cut hole edges, inside and out with 120grit sand paper. This removes burrs and helps promote a trouble free install. I also like this fitting because it has a 3/4" opening that quickens barrel drain time as opposed to only 1/2". I would buy this item again if I needed addional valves in the future.

Good quality metal item, good instructions included the hole size (1&1/4”) to drill in the barrel. Barrel adapter installed easily using the included string to slide the inside part down the string. The outer nut attached fine and I did not have to use a wrench on the outside nut to get it decently right. I used two smooth jaw adjustable pipe wrenches to attach the spigot to the barrel adapter so the adapter would not just spin in place in the barrel hole, and it was easy. No leaks from the barrel adapter in the barrel hole, but I do need to try again and use more white pipe tape this time to seal the spigot to the adapter as that part leaks (my fault I used too little pipe tape the first time). Highly recommended.

Worked good
