can the spigot opening be replaced with a standard bottle cap? I need to use this for a project.

The spigot threads on so I asume if you find a cap with the same thread it would work.

This unit is a top loader. Unfortunately, it does not have a spigot up top, you have to aim the bottle into the opening. I found this unit totally unacceptable. Buy at your own risk.

In Dallas with the this years ice storm (2015), this barrel froze and the spigot at the bottom ruptured and broke off. I don't think there's a way to replace it so this is probably a total loss.

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.

Yes, the spigot is plastic. Also, if the berkey has only 2 filters, the holes are sealed with plastic plugs. I do not see the use of plastic as a problem.

No, you can't use just any spigot. I switched out the plastic spigot it came with and replaced it with Stainless Works™ Stainless Steel Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot(Polished Finish), from Amazon, which was the only spigot I could find that was stainless steel and correctly sized.

There are end caps on the spout openings. You could torque them a little tighter.

HelloAll of my light stands are garden variety with standard size spigots on top of them. The small 1/4-20 threaded portion that protrudes above the top edge of the spigot is generally useless for my purposes. I just unscrew the wing nut on the beauty dish far enough to allow the beauty dish mount to slide down securely over the base of the spigot and then I tighten the wing nut. I would send you a photo of what I just described but don't see an option to add an attachment here.

I doubt it. We bought it for our outside spigot, but it doesn't work for our spigot. It has to be a specific design of spigot for it to fit and ours is not the right design.

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!

That is an overflow outlet. There is no threading but you could hypotheticaly insert a male/male connection for the overflow to hook up a hose if you wanted. You can hook up a standard hose to the spigot that comes with it also if that was what you were asking.

I honestly never used Dr brown so I can't answer you correctly. But the inner straw can be cut to size if it's too long. But I'm pretty sure the top lid is the typical bottle size (not the big mouthed bottles) and will fit standard bottles.

Stainless Works SSS012 Stainless Steel Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot(Polished Finish) fits 12mm openingI think this is the one you need. Not 100% certain, but it fits a similar one gallon jug I bought.

I have not seen one, but a pressure cap might work if the size is close enough. You could also add an O ring of the right thickness. Additionally, the spigot port itself may be an IPT size, or close enough to use a test plug. -all at a good hardware store in the plumbing section. You could also cut some sheet rubber and a disk of plastic from a coffee can lid and put them into the cap (rubber to the water jug side and plastic to reinforce it) and cinch that down hand tight. --should do it. But O rings work well, and are a matter of a correct thickness (it is easy to pick one too fat) -and put that on the jug thread side.

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.

Yes, the spigot is replaceable. You will need to remove the plastic spigot before you fill the dispenser with water. I would take the original spigot to wherever you are going to look for a metal spigot. Probably 'True Value' or 'Ace Hareware'.

I elevated mine. Is it necessary? Prob not. I put an extra spigot below the original one because the original one is quite hi. It leaves a lot of unused water in barrel.
