How to attach a hose to a Rhino-Pak water can.

[JCruse]

Hi, I'm looking to mount a couple feet of any type hose to a 5 gallon Rhino Pak water can, preferably with an on-off valve somewhere in line. I've been looking for parts that will fit with little luck when I figured that someone here must have done this already. Right now I have the cap and valve from a Reliance "solar shower" with some bathroom shower hose on it which fits the opening threads but being cheap the valve drips water all over the back of the rig. Anyone know what will fit on the opening and work well?

Thinking out loud...looking at the spout...

I would cut a pc. of plastic the same size as the bottom of the spout, drill it for some type of fitting (maybe barbed on one end, and male pipe thread on the other) that would accommodate a diameter hose that you would want to use.

Then install your fitting through a hole drilled in the plastic cap, add some rubber washers, tighten the whole mess down, and add your hose.

Actually I don't want to use the spout, I want a cap that fits in it's place but that has an attachment for a small hose. This is the cap I have now, but the valve on that cap has no gasket so it leaks.

I'd like a cap like that with a spout to attach a hose but with no valve to leak. I'll add on a better one along the hose somewhere, or whatever somebody shows me here on the board which is why I'm asking.

This is just to have running water on tap for washing bait off my hands, flushing sand and salt water off of things, and that kind of stuff.

he means for to use the spout lockring over a new piece of plastic supplied by you, cut the same diameter as the bottom of the spout so the lockring can seal the adapter in place of the spout... drill for barbed bulkhead fitting, install barbed bulkhead fitting and use in place of spout with spout very own locking ring. I think that's what he was driving at....so, you won't need to worry about the spout. in line valves can be found at any hardware store. garden stores might have barbed both end ball valves in poly BTW...
