Worked well in my 10 gram round igloo cooler

I installed this product in a 10 gallon igloo cooler with the standard pouring hole. https://www.amazon. com/Igloo-Gallon-Beverage-dispenser-Dispenser/dp/B000F6SHTK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493860503&sr=8-1&keywords=10+gallon+igloo+cooler one is on the right side of the picture next to the big nut too see) had to grind the inside a bit to fit the shoulder of the NPT nipple and not the final thread, but that's not a problem. It was really necessary to get the last 1/16 inch of depth required to…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons

MASH DO NO GO! in ball valves

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT TO USE IT ON THE MACHINE! As mentioned in other reviews, the nipple that comes with this product is too short and needs to be replaced (which such SS stuff is hard to find at any hardware store). I'm sure this product works great on a teapot. (Update, this ball valve works great on a kettle.) I originally gave this product 3 stars because I got an amazing ball valve with all the right accessories (other than the nipple) for a great price ($22). I wouldn't pay

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Without automatic
