Gamby Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I am using a food grade Brute trash can to collect and hold my RO water. I am looking for a spigot or valve that i can install in the Brute trash can to dispense water. Does anyone have a suggestion on a valve/spigot or a source? Thanks. Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I used a 1" bulkhead and a pvc ball valve. Ha sent let me down yet. The brute side is flexible enough to let the bulkhead seal Link to comment
AZDesertRat Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I used a homemade bulkhead and a 3/4" ball valve on my 23 gallon Rubbermaid ATO storage container. You could also use one of the plastic hose bibs like installed on the bottom drain of hot water heaters since they contain no metal parts. Link to comment
iadubber Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I have always used uniseals and pvc pipe/valves. Like this setup I had once https://flic.kr/p/bfByQX'>https://flic.kr/p/bfByQX'>Untitled by https://www.flickr.com/people/38568314@N04/'>iadubber, on Flickr Link to comment
GHill762 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 ^I'm just about to do that, I was going to build a stand but a little end table like that makes a lot of sense, I'll have to keep an eye out for something similar.. Link to comment
AZDesertRat Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Raising the cans is a great idea. I built a stand out of plywood tall enough to get buckets and 5G bottled water type jugs under the stand to fill and for storage. I put a barbed nipple and short piece or 3/4" vinyl tubing on the ball valve to fill with. Link to comment

Yeah it worked good for me. These tables are solid wood and never failed me even sitting with full containers. Link to comment
