I live in a dry cabin in Fairbanks, Alaska. 10 years ago, I created a gravity-fed sink that worked great. I cut a hole in a 10-gallon Rubbermaid container, inserted a spigot, and used a garden hose to attach the spigot to the faucet of a utility sink.
The spigot on the water container didn't leak. I think it had a threaded stem and I put two nuts on the stem: one on either side of the Rubbermaid's wall. The spigot was lightweight nylon, I think.
I moved away and moved back, and the hardware store that had those spigots is closed. I have tried multiple other options, but all of the spigots leak where they pass through the side of the thin plastic tub.
Does anyone have an option for a spigot that would work? A photo or a name of a part would be helpful. The plumbing supply stores in town all look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for suggestions.
