Batphobic Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Can I get MEPD approved (not SWAT) without the faucet cover/stinger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ok it seems that no one has been able to answer this yet so I will do so. The answer is no, as it is accepted that that part is part of most, if not all of the packs that were made. The requirement for MEPD requirement is that your pack should be reasonably accurate. Is there a specific reason why you want to know. The item does not have to made out of a faucet cover, a fridge jug does just as good a job. Hope this helps Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batphobic Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks, Nick. Just asking because yeah it seems like a hard part to source, and not all the movie packs were the same -- some were missing a part here or there. I'm seeing a lot of faucet covers on eBay but I'm also reading from a lot of folks on here getting burned buying what they think is the oval-ish shaped one and getting the cone one delivered. I'll look for a fridge jug or something like that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I used a 1.5l fridge jug like you can see here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealfresh-Fridge-Jug-1-5l-Plastic/dp/B001CN1MUG and cleaned it up. It was spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netslave Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 This one is on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Thermwell-Products-FC2-Faucet-Cover/dp/B004434KGE/ref=pd_sim_60_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=004Q04Y8FG81PBK59HMBAnd this one is usually available at Lowes:http://static.frostking.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/FC2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmann Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Don't let them fool you Brian. What you receive will not match the picture! The manufacturer changed the shape of the faucet cover so they could fit more in the case: I don't think we'll ever see the old style again. Furthermore, the backpacks were made in Elstree studios, near Hertfordshire England. It rarely gets below freezing in the winter, so I would speculate the prop builders would not have had cold weather faucet covers available. http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom%2FEngland%2FCounty_of_Hertfordshire/statistics.html Folks from England, please let me know if you have found faucet covers in your shops. I suspect the actual item on the backpack is a canteen, turned upside down, with a hose in the top. Like the ones I'm vacuum forming today (banana for scale) I'll post a for sale thread in a day or two. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netslave Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have 2 of the old style bluish Frost King, and 5 of the brown ones that I bought last year at Lowes here in Texas. They've been used on the houses I take care of. I've seen the pyramid as well. If I happen to run across some, I'll pick them up and let y'all know.

netslave Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Well, I ran to both Lowes and Home Depot and I guess they swapped them out here too. At least I have my old ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraulein Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just chiming in here - Wolfman has a faucet cover. I found it at our local tip, I gave it to him. I think he may have plans to replicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
