What is the exact material(s) that compose the spigot?

it is plastic and the flow was very slow, so I dip from the top (I make kombucha in it). The glass bit is thick and sturdy....the spigot is not terrific.

The spigot has some alloy material on it. If you can age alcohol and its fine I see no reason vinegar would be a problem.

The body of the spout is metal, whereas the fittings/adaptors are plastic. Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, the threaded part is metal, but the rest of the inside of the spout is all plastic.

Plastic. Seems to be very well constructed of a heavy, sturdy plastic. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Does an amazing job. Cleans by holding under faucet for 15 seconds.

Both the lid and the jar are glass. The spigot is metal and feels well made. Saw no leaks when we used it!

I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.

The spigot is plastic. I do worry about that but it works well and doesn't leak. It is the only negative about this beautiful beverage jar dispenser. The stand and lid are chromed metal.

The spout is plastic, however, it is a very strong plastic and seems to be very sturdy.

Mine came with a plastic spigot, but I bought it several months ago. It might have changed by now. Nothing wrong with the plastic spigot, and if you want to change it it is easy. Remember to use Teflon tape on the threads. Out here in California, we need rain to put in the barrel.

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.

It appears to be all brass. If there is any lead hidden in the product, it's not going to hurt the plants or the grass and I don't intend to drink from the hose nozzle. I'm happy with the product. I also have no idea how one would determine if there was anything but brass without having it melted down.

When I purchased this product it came with the base and spigot. I do not know why it is not listed in the description.

I have had trouble with the spigot. You have to open the top so that the spigot will work but it seems to jam up. I have pipe filtered it but it doesn't work like I would want it to, it should be metal. With that said the rest of it is great I just use the spout instead. It is really great for aging it really smoothed out the high and low spots
