Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The product shipped is not the Scepter #05459 Stop Flow Spout.
It is some other Scepter spout.
I purposefully ordered the #05459 Stop Flow Spout because of the
appearance of its short stubby straight spout as pictured in the
illustration. What I was shipped was a longer, crooked spout with
a very flimsy lip catch to open the valve in the spout.
The pictured spout appeared to have a broad flat lip completely
circling the spout, which would make it very easy to catch on the
lip of the gas tank to open the valve, no matter the orientation
of the spout or gas can, and very easy to keep on the lip of the
gas tank, unlike the flimsy lip catch on the shipped model. Plus,
a spout with a sharp angle crook is much more likely to break
under the weight of a 5 gallons of gas.
Finally, the new spout has some kind of a locking ring on it
that must be twisted until it clicks to allow the valve to
open under the weight of the can--just another thing to break.
Then the locking ring snaps back to allow the valve to close
when the weight is released. But what if you want to lift up
the spout and check the filling level. You need to flip over
the can and twist the locking ring again to start the flow again.
Older Scepter spouts never had this locking ring. It is totally
unnecessary.
I'll be trying to eliminate the function of this locking ring.
I bought 4, so I'll keep them, hoping I can modify the to work
correctly and hope they don't break. But they are crap.
