Never fight with your spout again

Risk Racing assures you will “never fight with your spout again”, with their Premium Utility Jug Spout, Hose Bender Black Edition.

Traditionally spouts have been produced with plastic or PVC counterparts that normally tend to harden over time. Where recently the utility jug market has introduced a new material, HDPE rubber, as it’s been tested to maintain its softness and malleability.

Spout features:

Consistent Bend:

- Enter and exit your equipment with the same bend in the spout resulting in no spillage

Stability Hook:

- Black hose bender keeps the bend stabilized by a hook at the end, maintaining it’s same position

Aluminum Cap:

- A CNC aluminum cap traps a nitrile rubber o-ring ensuring no leakage during transport

Hose Clamps:

- The black hose bender includes two custom molded hose clamps for an upgrade over the original ugly metal hose clamps

Universal Compression Fitting:

- The ¾” threaded hosed adapter offers a flange that traps the nitrile o-ring, which once again prevents leaks and spillage

So, if you’re tired of fighting the spout on your current jerry can and have had enough, Risk Racing’s spout will ensure you a fight-free day on the farm.

Video: Heat Stress in Pigs: What to Prepare for Before Next Summer - Dr. Joshua Selsby

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Joshua Selsby from Iowa State University explains how heat stress affects swine biology and why now is the ideal time to prepare for next summer’s challenges. He breaks down its effects on muscle function, immune responses, and long-term metabolic outcomes. Learn how early planning can protect herd performance when temperatures rise again. Listen now on all major platforms! "Heat stress leads to a cascade of biological damage, beginning with metabolic disruption and expanding across multiple organ systems." Meet the guest: Dr. Joshua Selsby is a Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. With over 15 years of research on skeletal muscle physiology and heat stress, he focuses on understanding how thermal stress disrupts swine metabolism, immune function, and muscle integrity.
