Plastic Rain Barrel Valve Spigot, High Flow Valve Core, 3/4 NPS Inlet x 3/4 GHT Outlet Bulkhead Valve for Outdoor Plastic Bucket Rain water Drum Container Down Spout Collector in

These are cheap plastic faucets that I would never ever use for permanent installations. So why the 5 star rating? Because they are perfect for what I need them for. I have them mounted near the bottom of several rain barrels, where they do a great job of controlling the flow of water when I water our garden. In this application if they leak or fail (which they haven’t) it would be no big deal, as the water would simply flow into the gutter. So they’re perfect for me and my application. And if you are planning on using them for a similar application, they’d probably be perfect for you, as well.But these are cheap plastic faucets and mounting them in a house where failures could lead to catastrophic flooding, or outside where failure could result in a catastrophic water bill, than not so much.

Are you serve rainwater barrel to collect rainwater for my garden because I think it’s healthier for my plants this was perfect right in the opening. I had on the bar and hold the water and just turn it on it so no more leaks thank you.

Every home should have a rain collection system.Why you ask? Well, building a rain catching system is easier than people think.In fact, you can build a one-barrel system in a couple hours for about a hundred USD or less.I recommend you look around online and locally for red barrels with black caps, olives are shipped around the world in these containers, and they make perfect rain collection vessels. I picked up two for $50. Beyond that you only need a couple more widgets and an hour or two of work and you will end up with a system that collects pure rainwater.Plants really respond to rainwater over city water.Maybe one day this abundance of water will come in handy in ways that you cannot imagine.This specific spigot is really well made. The ON/OFF action is very smooth and easy to handle. It's the perfect size for installing on a barrel as well.

At first glance, it seemed pretty quality. But after installing it at the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and then losing the entire 5 gallon bucket of water onto the floor within three hours from continuous drripping, I decided that it’s garbage. ReturnedUpdat, reluctantly ordered another one and it’s also ia dripper. Not quite as bad, but it does in fact drip also.

Screwed into rain barrel good with added teflon and gasket. Not able to put nut on inside easily but seems like a good seal.

Always nice when things work out as expected. No issues.

Plus: perfect replacement fit for a rain barrel; easy installationSmall minus: no open/close indicator

Well built valve, strong, no leaks, works well
