The spigot on Reliance water jugs are notorious for not sealing well, and/or cracking due to over-tightening due to poor alignment of the spigot. This gasket serves as both a seal, and wiggle room for rotating the spigot another 180 degrees once it has sealed, preventing stress fractures. Must be printed with TPU flexible filament to allow for proper compressibility and give.
