Hi, This is the only glass water dispenser I found and I'm glad I did but the spigot is plastic. Can I replace it with this stainless steel one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I...

Yes. As long as the thread portion is the same diameter of the plastic one.

No, the spigot is plastic with a chrome coating on the outside. There is a plastic washer on the inside as well.

The spigot is made of plastic. I do like this container and the spigot works very well.

Hi .. spigot is plastic but sturdy. It can be removed to be replaced, but be careful not to chip the glass of the actual dispenser. When replacing and reattaching, do not over tighten. Hope this helps.

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.

I think it's glass. I was worried about the plastic (metal-looking) spigot, since some people had complained of leakage, but that's NOT a problem. You reach in and unscrew and remove the spigot entirely and you can wash the glass part in the dishwasher, gently wash the spigot by hand and reinstall. The inside nut governs tightness---and leaks.

I got the Stainless Works Stainless Steel Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot(Polished Finish) and it fits great. It's more durable and pulp, etc doesn't clog it like the plastic ones. It costs more, but worth it.

The entire lid IS stainless.. Not plastic. Silicone & mesh plunger very sturdy AND you can replace it as needed, if the silicone wears down. There is plastic on the rim of the mesh that covers the pour spout but again seems pretty sturdy.

The black piece on the left near the end of the hose in the photo is rubber like. You insert it into the gutter, it is funnel shaped and will catch most of the water...the extra flows off it and down the spout. When the barrel is full you don't have to do anything...the water just can't go in the barrel anymore. I highly recommend getting a better spigot. .it comes with plastic. I do however think this is an excellent system. Very easy to install and works great.

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 spigots are plastic, but work very nice. You could replace them if they ever do break, so I would not let the plastic spigot stop you from buying it. They are really gorgeous. And worth they money.

What number stainless steel is this spigot? For example; #304, which is 18/8. Thanks :-)

The whole distiller itself including the coil is stainless steel with the exception of a plastic spigot that's supposed to hold some charcoal. The water that touches is is lukewarm, so it won't react with plastic as it leaves. If you are allergic to plastic, just run the distilled water through a Brita water filter which has charcoal... but then the Brita water filter is made of an inert plastic.

It depends on the size of the hole in the water cooler. I had a glass water cooler and the hole was too small so I bought a specific bit at Home Depot and enlarged the hole so the spigot would fit. Didn't take long. Works great.
