The plastic threaded piece meant to connect with the Brass Spout is garbage. I attached as directed and it leaked after first rain. So i tried sealing it which worked until I turned the water on. within 1 minute the water pressure popped out the spout and 65 gallons of water was everywhere! Seriously need to improve this, otherwise it's useless. I have other issues but this overshadows them all. Too bad because it is an attractive piece, gets 1 star for that.
