Rotopax DIY Water Spigot

2 years ago

I was asked a while ago from subscriber about the spout I have on the Rotopax Water Container. Now that the Jeep is up and running again I have begun working on some of gear that's going in and onto the Jeep and I thought I would touch on the spouts while I'm replacing them.
The spouts I use are just generic water container spouts from the local fuel station and they can be found almost all over Europe in the same style but with a different cap. All you need to do is boil some water and heat them up, pull them apart and pop the tap inside the original Rotopax Lid.
Then add an O-ring and that's basically it. They are really cheap, readily available (for me) and you can carry a couple spare just in case they brake one day on a trip and you need to replace them.
I have provided some links below to sites that sell them but bear in mind that you find these general taps for much cheaper on eBay and in general stores. I couldnt find any in the USA that looked like the ones that I use but the official Rotopax Spigot isnt that expensive, its just a big longer.
Thanks for watching.
