Oak Leaf Replacement Spigot for Beverage Dispenser

This is the third spigot I've bought. They last approx 2 years of daily use. I think they are good but over never used any other brand. I use it on my homemade Berkey water filtration system. I like the smooth operation and looks. I know it's a lot better than those cheap plastic spigots and the price is right.

I am thoroughly satisfied with this stainless steel beverage spigot from Oak Leaf. It is a high-quality product offered at a very good price... the best I could find at the time of this review. Oak Leaf responded promptly to my question. The spigot arrived quickly and I was immediately impressed with its quality. For some re-ason water currently tastes too bland to me so I haven't been drinking as much as I should. I decided to get a beverage dispenser to have infused water that I enjoy drinking more readily available. After purchasing a beverage dispenser locally for way too much $$$, I was very disappointed with the cheap, plastic, painted spigot that came with it. It looked ugly (really cheap), dispensed water very slowly, and I'm certain it would fail in short time. Plus, I'm not keen on using plastic for food & beverage storage. I returned it immediately and looked on Amazon for a better model. It seems cheap spigots are the defacto offerings - yuk. While searching, I saw listings for stainless steel spigots & that gave me the idea to make a DIY infused water dispenser. After researching SS spigots, this one offered by Oak Leaf is the best option. I already had a glass gallon jar so I ordered the drill bit needed for $8 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B300J8O/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and this awesome spigot. Everything arrived within two days and I had my infused water dispenser up and running in under 20 minutes including the time for drilling the hole in the jar and assembling the spigot... and slicing up fruits for the infusion. I'm no DIY expert, it was just that easy. The installation itself is a piece of cake. Instructions are not included but none are needed as it is so intuitive. Logically, it only fits one way: - Slide one stainless steel washer onto the spigot screw (convex facing out; towards the spigot head) followed by one silicone spacer. - Place the screw thru the hole in the jar. - From inside the jar, slide the 2nd silicone spacer onto the screw followed by the 2nd SS washer (convex facing in; away from the spigot head). - Thread the nut onto the screw and finger tighten. TIP: I found it easier to hold the nut stationary from inside the jar and turn the spigot clockwise from outside the jar to tighten. Take care to not overtighten - just enough so the spigot head doesn't wobble or jiggle. This spigot is well designed & shouldn't leak even if it's on loose enough to wobble. I do not have strong hands and did not find it necessary to use a wrench. This spigot is nicely machined and polished, has a good solid heft, dispenses like a dream & turns off securely - no drips. [TIP: If your spigot slows down, loosen the jar lid a tad to release the vacuum. I loosen mine after placing it on the stand and leave it that way.] The silicone spacers are dense but pliable enough to offer a secure seal. The nut threads smoothly on the screw. The screw is long enough to accommodate thicker walled containers. All included components show no seam lines and are of high quality. I'm so pleased with my DIY dispenser and LOVE how this spigot makes it look. The polished hardware gives it the appearance of high-end models, 😉. And I am drinking more water again, so, it's working well for me. This unit is lead free and also safe to use with acidic beverages like teas, kombucha, sangria, etc. I am confident that this product will last for many, many years and will live to see multiple applications. I happily recommend this spigot and feel good about doing so. Seriously, you really can't beat this price! I am thinking of a couple more DIY dispensing project ideas & will surely order from Oak Leaf again when needed. Best of luck in whatever your spigot usage needs are.

Works great, easy install, and a better choice than the plastic replacements. I highly recommend.

Spouts are very sturdy. Poured steadily. Easy to assemble. Silver finish

Terrific. Good quality, was exact replacement for my Berkey. After my SS Berkey valve was loose/leaking I was hesitant about this product, but upon receiving I was impressed with its quality and it functions excellent. For the price I would highly recommend.

Pretty good quality and it fits well.

Works great. No leaks

Almost purchased a whole new jar until I came across this little gem. Stainless steel construction, lose the plastic spout you’re currently using and stop cleaning up juice that has spilled in your refrigerator.

Great quality and work extremely well.
