How do I install a spigot on these.

I searched Google and found instructions that include cutting a large hole
in the top and then securing the spigot on the inside with some type lock
nut.

Would it work to cut a hole a little smaller that the threaded end of the
faucet and using some type epoxy?

Will the pressure blow it out?

thanks

Something like this:

You need the threaded & gasket parts to hold pressure -
Home Depot & Lowe's probably have it - if not, go to a plumbing
supply ...

This is easy. We did this, but instead of plumbers putty we used JBWeld.
The bracket in the back keeps it from coming out, the JBWeld keeps any water
from leaking.
Had it for 10 years so far.
