I have never seen a brass spigot that wasn't threaded on the supply side. And as for the chemicals, as there are no less than twenty other comments talking about it, allow me to repeat this. We didn't drink out of hot hoses! I'm going to say this is one of very few statistical absolutes that you will ever witness in the wild, cause there is literally 0 kids who drank the water immediately after it started running. Once the house is flushed with cool water, the phthalate level drops asymptotically. Does it reach 0? Absolutely not. Is it equivalent to water from any soft plastic container like a camel back? Might be less because, again, the water is running!
