I have a website with a guide on the different types of Igloo cooler parts available. I think it would match well with your page here for a link exchange.

In a link exchange, each party simply puts a link to each other’s page on their website. This can increase trust with the search engines, increasing rankings for both parties. If you’re interested, send me an email at:

My Gott cooler is not very old. it is an Igloo brand and it’s spigot is actually simpler than the design you show for removing (it has a rubber gasket that pops off). Also, if you are skilled with a propane torch, you can heat up the 3/8″ copper (count to five) and jam it thru the spigot housing and avoid using a drill press. This is what I managed to do, but be warned, it only takes a few seconds to get the copper hot enough to melt the soft plastic, so have a bucket of cold water handy if you choose to torch it.(you may want to practice on something of a similar plastic first. and the plumbers goop will make sure it seals.

One comment I wanted to make, though, was on the type of sealant that you used. You said you may have used “Plumber’s Goop” as your bulk-head sealant, though I happened to be shopping for food grade/ high temp resistant sealants and Plumber’s Goop actually stated “not for use at temps over 140 degF.” It also stated that it should not come into contact with food, water, or animals. If you ever wanted to switch to a safer sealant, I’d suggest using a different sealant – Permatex “66B (Clear RTV Silicone Sealant). It has the NSF 51 seal of approval for use with foods and beverages at high temps, and it’s waterproof/flexible. You can pick it up a 3oz tube of it at most auto shops and K-Marts at about 4 bucks a pop.

Thanks again!
