Plastic Water Tank Spigot – 15mm Outlet, 24mm Thread

This plastic water tank spigot with a 15mm outlet is a practical solution for any onboard freshwater system or camping setup. The spigot threads into your tank or jerry can via its built-in 24 mm threaded connector (a common standard on plastic water containers). Once installed, it provides a convenient faucet for dispensing water, much like a small tap, eliminating the need to lift or tilt heavy containers.

Key Features: The plastic material of the spigot is food-grade and UV-resistant, making it suitable for drinking water and prolonged sun exposure (on deck or at a campsite). There are no rust-prone parts, so your water remains clean and free of metallic taste. The spout diameter (15 mm) provides sufficient flow for quickly filling a cup or washing items, yet it is easily controlled by turning the handle.

Installation & Compatibility: The threading (approximately Ø24 mm outer diameter) matches the opening of many standard water tanks, cans, and jugs (for example, common 10L or 20L plastic water jerry cans, RV freshwater tanks, portable boat water tanks). Installation is done manually – simply screw the spigot into the threaded opening, using a gasket if one is provided. Tighten firmly by hand (avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage). If your tank’s outlet is unthreaded, you may install the spigot using an appropriate adapter or bulkhead fitting.

Usage & Advantages: Once installed, the spigot allows quick and controlled water dispensing. This is ideal for:

• Boats and Yachts: fitting on a built-in freshwater tank – passengers can easily fill cups or wash hands without needing a separate pump.
• Caravans and RVs: easy access to water from the camper’s onboard tank via an external tap when parked at a campsite.
• Camping and Off-Road: attaching to portable water jugs (e.g., 20 L jerry cans) – instead of lifting and pouring a heavy container, simply turn the tap to get water.
• Garden and Home: also useful on static rainwater barrels or large water containers – for filling watering cans and buckets neatly and with control.

Recommendations: This spigot is designed for cold or lukewarm water (up to about 60°C / 140°F). It’s not recommended for hot water or steam, as the plastic could deform. Likewise, it’s not intended for gasoline or aggressive chemicals. If using with a drinking water tank, ensure that the tank and spigot materials are BPA-free and food-safe (the plastic used here meets those requirements). Always rinse the new spigot before first use to remove any manufacturing residue.

Maintenance: The spigot requires minimal upkeep – periodically check the seal/gasket for any drips. If needed, you can replace the O-ring or tighten the spigot slightly. In winter, if leaving the tank outside, it’s wise to drain the water and leave the tap half-open to avoid trapping water that could freeze and crack the spigot.
