I am making a vermicompost (composting with worms) and would like to attach a spigot to a rubbermaid bin will this work or will it leak?

Hi Lisa- I am doing the same project, and plan to use this: Italian Bottling Spigot

Lisa, this spigot screws on to the water container that it designed to fit. Without the threaded opening in the container there would be no way to attach it.

I suppose with a little effort it could be made to work but it is specifically designed as a replacement for a specific water can. You might be able to make it fit but you might contend with some leakage as well.

It will work as long as you have the same male thread for the Reliance spigot to screw onto. It can be found on the blue water containers that Reliance makes.

It does not leak out the spigot but if turned upside down then it would leak out the lid... the lid has a silicone ring inside that helps to seal it but it's not super tight and leak proof; however, as I stated, the spigot does not leak.

I've had my container almost one year.. I've had no problem of any kind with the spigot.. Be sure it's screwed in tight.. Awesome product!!

I wish you luck. The best you can do is to quickly insert the nozzle end of the solution holder. My holder tended to leak even from the top part. That's one of the reasons I rated it poorly - and be careful how you treat the swivel - they break. For $10 more, I just bought the Rubbermaid and its quite good and well-constructed, and the spray cover a larger area. Good luck.

I wouldn't expect the spigot to rust at the handle unless you have a leak (maybe slow), or water is splashing up around the unit. It does appear to have a water resistant coating, so the water would need to get inside somehow. You probably should contact the manufacturer.

The spigot threads on so I asume if you find a cap with the same thread it would work.

That is correct. That is the "juice" from the compost. It is designed to drain out when the barrel is rotated in the correct position.

It is not possible to answer the question unless you have a similar situation. Most times users attach the device directly to the spigot which is not under water. For me the device works fine. The cost is so little just buy one and find out!

I do not, this is what I needed to replace the spigot on a glass wall container. Perhaps a manufacturer has one, perhaps in metal, or.. you might use an extension nipple and coupling with the same thread.

It should if the leak is in the hose itself and not in the hose connection to the spigot.

What I would do is take the drain plug to the hardware store and ask them. I have had trouble with leakage on some of my rain barrels at the spigot sight. I will never put in another spigot again, because of the leakage. I dip into the top or use a water pump.

Yes. I drilled something like a 1" hole in the bottom of one of these (using a hole saw) and installed a bulkhead fitting so I could run PVC piping through it. Be careful drilling because the plastic can melt or splinter. I ended up getting a kind of rough edge around the hole that I had to file down before putting in the bulkhead fitting. With the bulkhead fitting it was able to hold a full tank of water without leaking. This isn't the bulkhead I used, but see: Tuff Stuff Products AD34 Drain and Plug, 3 by 4-Inch

Yes it will work with a water hose. You just can't pull too hard on the spigot because it will come out of the rubber bushing

That is what I wanted to know...... It is very helpful to know that it leaks if it is stored horizontally. Thanks.

Hi Rebecca Yes the spigot is plastic and so far it works great and the seal doesn't leak.

No. I have the blue 5 gal Coleman jug, and this is too big for it.Coleman spigot is 2 inch diameter, this one is nearly 3 inch diameter.

I'm not sure I understand your question so I will guess at what your problem is. The flow of water is gravity fed. If you have a hose screwed on to the spigot, the end of the hose must be lower that the water level.
