Does it have a metal spigot? Plastic ones break.

It is plastic but, very high quality plastic. Yes you can brake it, but the glass would brake first.

The spigots are plastic, but work very nice. You could replace them if they ever do break, so I would not let the plastic spigot stop you from buying it. They are really gorgeous. And worth they money.

It looks to be a heavy plastic. Just used mine again, for at a party for about 50 last night and it worked perfectly. Worth the price

Yes, it does come with a spigot! However, I highly recommend purchasing the sight glass. It really does keep you on top of filling...

The ones that come with it are plastic, though I have seen that both metal and glass bottles are sold seperatly.

It's ceramic and the spigot (?) is plastic so there should be no metal in it. Also, it comes with a plastic ring on top so when Amazon says "people who buy this item also buy this" and offer you the ring, you don't need it.

Yes, this has the updated spigot. However, we found the spigot problem occurred when the rubber washer was placed on the inside of the fermenter (it should be placed on the outside) and most importantly, these customers used StarSans as the sanitizer. This is an acid based sanitizer and should never be used with our equipment.

we have been very satisfied with this faucet; it has proven to be sturdy, gets used a lot. Ours does not have plastic; not sure why this comment was made.

Hello, If I understood your question correctly you are asking about the Spigot and I believe that it is plastic. Please let us know if we can be of further help. Thanks and have a great day!

yes it can. I haven't taken the time to do so, but I plan to, since the spigot is just plastic, I would like to have something more substantial, that was the one thing I was disappointed about with this dispenser, was the spigot being plastic rather than metal.

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

Circle ware is sold in so many stores like Kohls and JCPenny, I do not think it contains lead, as far as the spigot goes it is a chrome colored plastic and not the best spigot. The glass is not very thick but I have been using mine to brew Kambucha and its fine. I dont use the lid but they are thin metal. You could probably find a replacement spigot but mine are still working .

No, it does not. Also, although they worked great at first, and they are wonderful in all the ways I reported, they have not held up well. They have broken (plastic parts) with moderate use.

Hi Rebecca Yes the spigot is plastic and so far it works great and the seal doesn't leak.

This is an all metal faucet. The spout, body, handle, waterway...every bit is metal. The pop-up drain is plastic though.

Not as far as I know. There are no metal fittings, all plastic and the hose expands when water enters and collapses when water is let out. I do not know of any lead or metal that does that.

No. The only plastic inside is the little filter in the spout, you can remove it. Even at full water limit it doesn't touch it anyway.

Yes, the unit comes with a spigot. A water level indicator is an extra which can be purchased separately. I purchased my Berkey unit in December after researching it thoroughly and am very pleased with it.

No, not that I was able to find. The only thing that really can break did break, that being the one plastic piece. We also wound up reinforcing the area where the hose meets the metal pole. That being said, we are really happy with the way this system works so we just purchased another after about 5 years of use. We certainly got our money's worth. We tried a number of other vacuums and they all failed us. Yes, you do lose some water with the Muck Vac but it really does the job!
