Our hose bib/spigot. Rain barrels come with a regular brass hose bib which is threaded to allow hose attachment. Tip: Utilize soaker hoses, open hose bib slightly to allow watering while away from home, drip irrigation. In-line pumps can be attached externally to your hose bib and hose to achieve more pressure if desired, these can be found at local hardware stores or online.  2050k v. 4 Oct 25, 2009 6:38 PM Holly Andreotta
