“A pipe spigot, also known simply as a spigot, is a device used in plumbing and water systems to control the flow of water or other fluids from a pipe. It is a type of valve that regulates the flow by opening or closing the passage through the pipe.

The spigot is a faucet-like fixture that protrudes from the side of a pipe or a container, allowing for easy access to control the flow of fluid. It usually has a handle or knob that can be turned to open or close the valve. When the spigot is open, water or fluid can pass through the pipe, and when it is closed, the flow is stopped.

Pipe spigots are commonly used in various applications, such as outdoor water faucets, garden hose connections, water tanks, and barrels. They are often made from materials like metal or plastic, depending on the intended use and the type of fluid being controlled. Spigots are essential components in plumbing systems, providing a convenient and simple way to manage the flow of water or other liquids.”
