I received the barrel, two holes drilled in the bottom, but no "brass spigot". Now what?!?!?

If it isn't inside the barrel...remove white cap...add one from hardware store. I think mine was inside the barrel.

This is what I would do. Go to the hardware store, get a brass spigot a couple of plastic or rubber gaskets (washers) and a nut that fits the back of the spigot and install it on the barrel. I hope you received the plug that goes into the extra hole. good luck

Hi Kathy. There are small markings on the top of the barrel. That's it for the barrel I received.

I ended up standing my barrel on its base so the dispensing valve was on top rather than laying on its side. This will put the filling bung on the side, so stand it and lean it back just a bit on an angle on the stand so no whiskey is at the dispensing valve or the filling bung. I hope that makes sense, you do have to have it only about 3/4 full for that to work but I did it like that and kept mine barreled for 4 months. Started with Oyo white whiskey, finished with a great barrel aged product. Hang in there, its worth it.....a pain in the ass, yes, worth it, yes. Theres no getting around those parts leaking I dont think, just get creative how you stand it.

Good quality Brass, but the brass spigot screws into the plastic barrel,just don't over-tight the spigot and you'll be fine..also thread sealer will keep it from leaking forever...

When I purchased this product it came with the base and spigot. I do not know why it is not listed in the description.

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!

The hole is there. Just tap the spigot in with a rubber mallet and you are good to go.

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.

As others have noted, it may well be that there are parts missing. iSi seems to be very hap hazard about this. The cylindrical tube goes in first, then the thing that looks like a soda straw with the flat top goes in on top of that. Then screw on the hard plastic head with the trigger on it, screw it on very tightly and you're done. You should also have a t-shaped device for pulling the cylincrical tube out for cleaning. If you are missing any of these parts, complain to the vendor.

I'm not sure I understand your question so I will guess at what your problem is. The flow of water is gravity fed. If you have a hose screwed on to the spigot, the end of the hose must be lower that the water level.

I do not, this is what I needed to replace the spigot on a glass wall container. Perhaps a manufacturer has one, perhaps in metal, or.. you might use an extension nipple and coupling with the same thread.

There is a small nut from the new device that is suppose to fit into position once you have removed the on-off handle from your existing spigot/faucet. Thats gotten fit or your hosed (pun intended). The best thing to do is check the manufacturere's website as they have a very helpful video that will detail the installation. Good luck.

Mine came with a plastic spigot, but I bought it several months ago. It might have changed by now. Nothing wrong with the plastic spigot, and if you want to change it it is easy. Remember to use Teflon tape on the threads. Out here in California, we need rain to put in the barrel.

There is a spigot about 3/4 the way down the barrel and the hose you see in the picture comes from the under side with a cutoff switch on the end of the hose so the barrel can empty out. It is quite handy.

I am not real sure but it looks like the very end screws out maybe, bringing the barrel out with it maybe, or will loosen up and come apart. it seems like only way unless it all pressed together. take a piece of leather and pliers an gently try to unscrew the end???? search ebay for my herb's paranoia pin

There is a threaded hole near the bottom of the barrel; you need to buy a sillcock at any hardware store and screw it into the hole.

spigot may be defective. I had to order a new one after 1st year. If you look at other reviews you will see that other people had trouble with the spigot also. I took the little handle off and turned the little knob with a pliers...a pain but it opens the valve. You should also check to make sure there is no debris clogging up the opening and that there is enough water to cover the opening of the spigot. Hope all this helps!
