For those of you interested in our spigot barrel, here it is.
What you’ll need:
1 barrel (or trash can) and drill & drill bit to make a hole in the side of your barrel/can
1 1/2 inch brass or plastic hose bib
(optional 3/4″ steel washer, depends on how rigid your barrel is)
brass connector with 1/2″ threads on the inside
2 rubber o-rings
plumbers teflon tape
This barrel does not have a washer on the outside, these barrels are very rigid but if you are using a less rigid barrel I would suggest a washer. First apply teflon tape to the hose bib’s threads. Next, put the waster on, then the o-ring. Next you’ll insert the hose’s bib threads through the hole in the barrel you’ve made, place another o-ring onto the hose bib from the inside of the barrel, then the connector. Tighten it all up with a wrench and you’re done!
