Stainless Steel Replacement Spigot for Beverage Dispenser and Berkey Filter

This replacement spigot feels sturdy and well made. The stainless steel construction gives it a much better feel than the lightweight plastic alternatives, and the push-style design is easy to operate. Installation was straightforward, and it works well for dispensing water from a beverage container. The fit was good, and the valve opens and closes smoothly without feeling flimsy. A simple but useful replacement part that does exactly what it is supposed to do. Good quality for the price, especially if you need a replacement faucet for a water or beverage dispenser.

We ordered two spigots at the same time. One handle had to be held in place to keep flowing. The other handle could be flipped straight up, and it would flow automatically. Amazon sent a third one to determine which one was correct. We returned the one that had to be held in place. We LOVED the silicone washers that were thick and curved outward on both sides; a GREAT seal! The flow rate was noticeably less than the plastic spigots. Not impressed. They are beautiful, though.

Made of metal, good value. Tight seal. Fast flow when in use. It was easy to swap out the cheap plastic one that came with the dispenser and screw in this metal one. Almost went with a slightly cheaper version, but am glad I spent the extra $2 and ordered this one. I also like that it can't accidently be left in the open position. Releasing the lever will automatically seal the flow. Buy this one, it has no flaws. It looks nice and works great.

Easy to install on a big Berkey water filter. I think I only used the rubber washer on the inside. All water tight seals I have done work best with seal on interior only and other side to be metal on metal to have firm contact. Used to brew beer and that is always how weldless fittings sealed best. The actual housing of this spigot is stainless and would last for much longer but the interior valve mechanism is plastic and seems to have worn so that when open it is only a very slow trickle. It is not pulling/compressing enough anymore when in the fully open position and don't think it can be fixed easily so will need to buy another. Is a shame because the metal is in such good shape. Would gladly buy the guts if they sold those separately.

The old silver plastic dispenser that was attached to the beverage cooler I've had for a few years was flaking and silver paint pieces were floating in my water. I decided to replace it with this steel dispenser. When it arrived I unscrewed the handle from the spigot and found dirt and rust on the inside. It was easy to clean and I was glad that I checked this before installing it. It was easy to install. It did start leaking around the base of the spigot and the hole of the plastic container. I found that I screwed the spigot on too tight. I loosened the nut a bit and the leaking stopped. I have been using the spigot non-stop for 3 weeks and I haven't had any more issues.

Very slow Flow. I was using this a a replacement to the dripping Berkeley water filter. It fits, it works, doesn't drip. But flow was so slow. I put the dripping spout back on.

This did the trick to replace spigot that no longer worked.

Nice and sturdy metal love the weight and you can tell it's durable. Unfortunately it was too big for my picture. I still have it and plan on using it for a rain barrel. Nice piece.
