Spigot problem anyone? It does not screw in at all.

I've had no problems...wish I had mounted them higher so I could get a better flow of water through the the hoses though.

It is a very tight fitting pipe thread. They must be able to align the spigot thread properly with the threaded fitting. The threads of the spigot must be 90* perpendicular to the threaded fitting. Please make sure the spigot is held tightly to the threads as they turn it in.

I bought two of these barrels. Love the barrel, hate the spigot. One barrel came without the spigot which was a blessing. The one that had a spigot was the slowest spigot I had ever seen. Replaced with two from a hardware store. They are a little difficult to get started. I used metal spigots which seemed to cut their own threads when installing. Had to go slow to ensure spigot was even with barrel when finished. Several other reviewers mentioned slow running spigots and replaced them. As mentioned I love the barrel but would really recommend getting a different spigot.

It screwed on fine for me. My problem was NO WATER PRESSURE! I think it needs to be elevated a couple feet to use properly. Lost my patience with it so I gave it to my neighbor. I told him my issues and said "good luck to you. If you can't get it functional then toss it or pass it on. I Don't recommend at all.

The spigot is not prone to clogging, there is no filter (buy that seperate)

I believe that is the same as I had, also. I checked everywhere for the valve and no one had it. I found out it is no longer made. They worked beautifully! You just would have to take the chance that yours will too! I found they super easy to replace! My old valve were so bad that I couldn't even use the spigot! Good luck!

Brass spigot, impossible to thread into the plastic barrel threads. 2 of 3 leaked badly and were returned. very hard to tell if you are correctly threading in the spigot. 4/2015

Before you try to replace it, you may have the same problem I had. Mine was leaking excessively, but upon reading the included care instructions, I discovered that you can remedy the leakage by reaching one hand inside the container and one outside. Grab the spigot and twist to tighten. It will need to the tightened each time you use it, but if you give a good turn, it will last a while. Hope this helps!

I have a spigot on the outside wall and I just turn it to adjust the stream to low... mine works great after I finally got the dogs to figure it out. sounds like yours might need to be returned for another one

Mine just slid right in. sounds like your bracket is slightly bent or something.

I'm having the same issue. Other than that it's a great faucet.if I get this figured out I will post it. Good luck.

I was having the same exact problem and i couldnt figure it out. My assistant played with it and I think she put the gasket at the bottom or something and now it works. Unfortunately i didnt fix it, she did i dont know how to help you. I would suggest that you change the order in which the parts are inside the handle and see if you can get it to work.

Sry about that. Are you twisting it into place? If that's not working I'd contact britta for a new top portion of the bottle.

Mine did the same thing. I just pushed them back in and that worked. It was rather difficult to do, but they went in. Just make sure to push at the base of the yellow spigot. If you try to press ON the yellow spigot or the metal piece that sticks out you may damage it and it could start leaking. I hope that works for you!!

I have the same problem. I have the American Standard Dual Flush (two buttons on top to prevent overuse of water for liquid waste).There HAS to be a way to install this thing. I've Googled it repeatedly and haven't found any solutions.

the tap is threaded on the outside, inside the bore of the spigot is smooth. of course as a unit it is threaded and has a gasket and a nut to hold it in place. but no, there is no threads on the inside bore of the spigot

Assuming that the rubber plug inside the spigot isn't old, hard, and dirty(when the lever is flipped up, the plug opens and shuts off the flow), that may be the best you'll get. My personal experience with mine is fantastic like everyone else who's responded.

Is this a new barrel? Sounds like a defective spigot. If it has been in use, I would suspect a clog..perhaps bacteria/crud film or a stray leaf. Maybe try a thin wire up the opened spigot, or a strong stream of water.

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

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.
