Abstract: A kit and devices for operating a spigot of a portable liquid container with a foot pedal, including a foot control member; a spigot having a valve body, a shaft, and a button member; and a spigot control device coupled to the foot control member with a flexible cable.

Abstract: A device for remotely controlling the operation of a spigot of a portable liquid container, the spigot having a shaft member that moves linearly with respect to the spigot body, a button that when engaged compresses a spigot spring and urges the spigot shaft and spigot valve to their open positions. When the button is no longer engaged, the spigot spring decompresses and urges the shaft and spigot members to their closed position. The device includes a spigot control member with a movable actuator member that is connected to a foot control member by means of a flexible cable. When the spigot control member is attached and the foot control member is activated, the flexible cable and the actuator member move to engage the spigot button. The pressure on the spigot button urges the spigot spring, shaft and valve to their open positions. With the spigot members in their open positions, liquid is allowed to flow from the container through the spigot.
