I am trying to convert the push button spigot on the 5 gallon rubbermaid cooler by inserting this device into the spigot opening to make it hands free. Will it work?

This is the one I purchased for converting my 10 gallon cooler to a mash tun for brewing. easy to install & it doesn't leak.

I think the only thing I would be concerned about is whether there is enough length on the threaded part to make it through the cooler wall. I purchased this to go through the side of my brew kettle.

There is enough length. You only use one of the nuts. The the nut between the valve and the outside of the cooler is the one you don't use. The nut and washer on the inside creates the seal. I believe this was mentioned by someone in the comments. When i first got this. I thought it wasn't going to work, but it does, just need to eliminate that extra part and you'll have enough room.

No. I have the blue 5 gal Coleman jug, and this is too big for it. Coleman spigot is 2 inch diameter, this one is nearly 3 inch diameter.

I don't think so. It screws into the cooler and if it is not screwed in tight enough it will leak. The only way I could to make this work is if you had a hole in the coop wire/wall that was big enough for the brite tap waterer to fit through.

Yes. The spigot rotates separately from the threading, so it can be rotated without loosening or leakage.

Good thing that you are questioning this! The different Rubbermaid systems do not necessarily work together! Sorry I don't know if it works with the systems you are questioning, but I would talk to a customer service rep before buying.

I can't answer that it will fit. We measured the spigot on our crock and ordered it by the measurements. Our crock is a 4 gallon. Hope this helps. Martha in Tennessee

I'm don't think that the spigot will lock in the open position. I only dispensed one drink at a time, but I would think there could be a leaking problem if left open for many reasons not related to the workmanship of the product, i.e. a child bumping it, etc.

I have one of these stainless pots. The spigot has a 1/2" diameter pipe thread fitting on the end so that you can add additional piping to the unit. The spigot has a ball valve and the inside dimension of the opening in this ball valve is slightly less than 1/2". This is the smallest opening inside this spigot. If your curd will pass thru this opening without trouble you should be fine. One other thing you may need to know. The spigot is about 1.5" off the bottom of the pot so a lot of material will lay in the bottom of this pot unless you tip it at an angle to drain it. The pot is made of very thin stainless steel, but the bottom is thicker material. I had to order a new top when mine arrived because it wouldn't fit properly. This pot is made in China. That's all the info. I have for you. Good luck.

we mounted the handheld to the side threads, just like mounting the handheld to the normal spigot. bad part is, it took some extra tightening of this adapter to keep it from rotating down, due to the handheld weight off to the side.

It should, it just replaces the water Jug - it even has an adapter thingy you can put in the base of your water cooler to help stablize it. (i think i had to pull the "collar?" out of the bottom of my water cooler - the one i bought is a regalta) Good luck!

no, I just put on floor while spinning and then put on small table with 5 ga. bucket and filter below, then open the spigot. Works fine.

Yes the handle just turns. Picture shows it in odd position. Turn either left or right to open. Usually installed so tip of spigot is below bucket to fully drain. You place on table with spigot hanging over edge of table as with Ital spigot. You can also turn valve 90 degrees when installing, if you do not want spigot tip lower than bottom of bucket. I like mine so far.

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.

IMO, the device allows water to drain out of any spigot and attached hose. This prevents freezing and any siphoning of water into a well. I don't see how it could do either of these functions if it were underwater. But I am not an expert.

I replaced my swamp cooler on/off switch that was on the wall in my home with this. It works great. I do not know if you could even use this switch with a plug-in type portable swamp cooler (I guess that is what you are talking about)

The connection only comes setup for a Sanke connection. However, your beer shop will have the know how to inexpensively convert the connects to fit your system. I use 2 5 gallon ball lock corny kegs and the system works great.
