Went to HF after work today and picked up the taps. They were on sale so that's a bonus
They are actually very sharp and look very nice. I'm not sure how hard they are but I'm sure I'll have them around awhile. I already have a couple of the 2 smaller sizes in high quality but nonetheless.
$11.99

Now I can leave the jug on a table or even the roof and still get water. With a more common thread I can get a shower nozzle, etc for my needs.
