Where does the seal go in an Italian bucket spigot?

[slayer021175666]

I haven't used these - white plastic spigot with the red handle and spout piece - for years since, I started kegging. Lately, I have began fermenting in buckets so, I looked up a youtube video where the guy shows how to pop the spigot apart for cleaning. It looked simple enough but, when I popped mine apart, I found a little O-ring seal inside that he does not show in the video. It was just loose in there so I am not positive where it actually goes.
Thanks guys.

Do you mean a spigot like this? If so, there should be two washers: one goes on the inside of the bucket, against the bucket wall, and the other goes outside the bucket, also against the bucket wall.

So it should be:
spigot : o-ring : bucket : o-ring : plastic nut

Thanks cactus,
Those ARE the spigots I'm talking about but, I didn't mean the seals that attach It to the bucket. I'm talking about a 3rd seal that is inside the spigot when you disassemble it.

Probably to the surface if you have sardines.

That 3rd seal got in there by accident. It doesn't belong there.

None of my spigots like this have a 3rd seal. When i disassemble the spigot, the only parts (aside from the o-rings and nut) are the white plastic housing, and the red nozzle. Nothing else goes inside either of those pieces.

Ya. I don't remember this 3rd seal being there in any of the ones I used years ago but, I popped open the new ones I have and they all contain a translucent o-ring seal on the inside. I'm running a leak test on one right now to see if it will leak without the o-ring in it. It seems to be holding fine without it. IDK. Maybe the new ones have it just to be precautionary? Weird!

Mines doesn't even have a second o-ring hahahaha never had a leak though
