<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have any tricks for seating spigots on Nalgene carboys (15L)? I have a brand new carboy and three brand new spigots, and every single one leaks at the base of the spigot. I’ve followed the instructions, and tried screwing the
lock nut down at varying degrees of tightness. I’ve had several other people try to seat the spigot. At this point I’m wondering if the carboy boss is misshapen. However, when relaying my tales of woe to colleagues, I’ve been told that folks routinely have
issues with leaky spigots on Nalgene carboys. Is this a common problem with Nalgene brand carboys? Has anyone used spigots from different manufacturers? Plumbers tape or additional o-rings to stop leaks?<o:p></o:p></p>
