PVC Rain Barrel Spigot Kit 2 Pack 3/4" GHT Bulkhead Fitting with PVC Ball Valve Leak-Proof Tank Faucet for Rain Barrel, Water Tank & Container Drain

Very nice pair of bulkhead fittings for my needs. I found myself in a situation where I needed to direct some overflow water to a drain in my basement. The water was coming in from across the room from the drain, so I engineered a basin with one of these fittings and a garden hose. Worked perfectly. Installation was easy, I just marked the size of the bulkhead thread with a sharpie, drilled out the hole and inserted the spigot. There are a set of O-rings that seal the connection nicely. I didn't even have to go past hand tightening to get them to seal (just make sure the hole is deburred and clean before installing). Haven't had a leak after using it pretty heavily for a few days. The construction is plastic, so I'm not sure how well it would hold up in the long run. My situation is to leave it open indefinitely, and only shut it off if required. The valve seems to move quite easily from on and off, so I'm confident it would work well in either position. I did test the "off" position to check for leaks, but didn't find any, so I opened it up and it's been great so far. You can also close/open it to control flow if needed. I ran a 25' drain hose that I use to purge my hot water heater and there were no problems with the connection and no leaks. Due to the construction being entirely plastic, it's great for a short term (aka disposable) solution. I would imagine that over time, if used constantly, it wouldn't hold up as well as a metal valve, but for light duty use, it's very nice. As always, packaging was great, delivery time was short, price was good, and the value for the money is spot on.

Used this to turn a trash can (new) into a rain barrel. It doesn’t leak but the trash can needs to be pretty solid. I think this works great. Cost me 25$ to make my whole rain barrel.

Quality product.

Okay has some leakage

Instructions are good but it feels very cheaply made. Needs another lock nut on the spigot. When you screw the spigot on it loosens up the nuts that are on either side of the rain barrel wall. Very aggravating! Also,make sure to put thread tape on the entire length of the threaded piece or it will leak! Had to use Flexseal on the outside after installing because it leaked.

These work great for me. I put them on a rain barrel before a heavy rain. No leaks or other issues, and ended up with a full rain barrel. Upon opening the tap, it gave a good steady, quick flow of water as needed. No issues as others have mentioned.

good

The inner hardware spins loose when putting the outer valve on because the threads aren’t reversed. If you try to make it tighter, the gasket distorts. Leaks way to bad to use as water storage
