RAINPAL RBS005 Spigot

I got these for a rain barrel project and they have worked very well. I have experienced no leaking, and initial installation was pretty easy after I cut the tops off my rain barrels. The materials feel very high quality - there is no play, just a solid on/off function that has worked perfectly.

This is an excellent product. Very well made of durable materials and a breeze to install in the rainbarrel we have (removable top). This makes ir a lot easier to fill watering cans or rinse off shoes or your feet.

This is a genuinely good product. It arrived with all the parts. Installation was simple. It doesn't leak. Top knob is a bit stiff, but not impossible. Background - 8 years I got a rain barrel kit that included a tap. Because of life, it took me this long to actually use it. Tap was useless - leaked everywhere. The reviewed product was the replacement. Reviewed product is awesome. Works perfectly.

Used for rain barrel, works GREAT. I was able to install into plastic barrel that has the two bung holes in the top WITHOUT cutting the top. (1) Make hole for this brass valve just above bottom where barrel side curves under, in line with bunghole in top. Make hole just barely large enough for brass male threads to start when applying pressure. I used a spade bit to make the hole. (2) Find an open-end wrench (or adjustable wrench) that will fit the nut for the inside-the-barrel threads AND that will fit through the bunghole above the valve - you will need it later. (3) With barrel upright, use string and small weight (a washer or nut), lower via the bunghole, pull string out thru the new drilled valve hole; a magnet will help. After string thru hole, remove weight and open brass valve and thread string through it in the direction of flow. Tie something on both ends of string to prevent pullout. Now, force-thread brass valve + outside gasket/washer into barrel and let it cut the threads in the plastic. Make it just barely hand tight. (4) Lay barrel on its side between sawhorses with string bunghole on top, brass valve on bottom. Slide the inside gasket/washer + nut down string to valve threads inside. Use a stick through the bottom bung to flip the washer and nut onto valve threads; then use stick to thread the nut onto the valve. An assistant with flashlight helps here. (5) Tape that open-end wrench that fits the inside nut securely to broomstick, slide it into bunghole and engage the nut. With separate wrench, tighten valve from outside until firm, gasket is seated and valve is in a straight down position.

Easy to install couldn’t find instructions at first looked like the inside bottom of box suggest they fold it so print shows. Will revise after my first rain but really seems very well made sturdy etc

Nice quality spigot and reasonably priced. Very easy to install. Would buy another if needed. I used the Rain Pal for a 5 gallon bucket that I modified for use with mineral free water that i use for detailing.

Good quality

This worked great for our rainbarrel that we made

Well made. Installed easily with one wrench. No leakage whatsoever. Even when the 45 gallon drum is full to the top

Me gustó que es pequeño y tiene un buen flujo ademas es estetico

Good solid product

muy util para mi y muy resistente al ser de metal.

Solid engineering and easy to install, this will last well beyond the life of my rain barrel, worth the price
