# It is acceptable to wash from a canteen with a spigot that when opened water flows out of the hole and when closed can hold a reviyit of water.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:5 and Rama write that the canteen is fit for netilat yadayim even though it doesn't hold a reviyit of water without the spigot holding in the water since it is made specifically in this way to hold water with the spigot in place. Mishna Brurah 159:27 points out that if the spigot doesn't close completely and the canteen leaks it is unfit for netilat yadayim. Halacha Brurah 159:24 agrees.</ref> However, for each of the three times each hand is washed the spigot should be opened and closed.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:9, Halacha Brurah 159:24</ref> Only the initial spurt of water from opening the spigot is considered as though it comes from the force of a person and so it can be necessary to open and close the spigot several times to cover one's whole hand.<ref>Mishna Brurah 159:64, Halacha Brurah 159:24. See the Pitchei Teshuvot 159:16 quoting the Shulchan Hatahor 159:12 who argues that we shouldn't practically wash from a canteen with a spigot. See there for his reasons.</ref> | # It is acceptable to wash from a canteen with a spigot that when opened water flows out of the hole and when closed can hold a reviyit of water.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:5 and Rama write that the canteen is fit for netilat yadayim even though it doesn't hold a reviyit of water without the spigot holding in the water since it is made specifically in this way to hold water with the spigot in place.

All the more so is the case with pipes drawing water from outside.</ref> Others allow it if the water comes from a container of water on the roof (water heater) through pipes. Even they only allow it if there's no cup available.<ref>Tzitz Eliezer 8:7 writes that it is considered like water coming out of a vessel since the water is being pushed from the vessel to the faucet it is like it is being poured straight out of the vessel. Cheshev Haefod 159 seems to agree. Yaskil Avdi 5:26 writes that the faucet holding the water in the pipes and the pipes are not considered a vessel so one can't do netilat yadyaim with water from the faucet. However, he defends the minhag of those who do so by saying that since the water comes from a water heater on top of the roof which is a vessel it is considered as though it comes from a vessel. Halacha Brurah 159:24 writes that in extenuating circumstances one can rely on this opinion.</ref> Water from a reservoir is not fit for netilat yadayim.<ref>Minchat Yitzchak 4:21 writes that one may not do netilat yadayim from tap water since there is no vessel. In extenuating circumstances he allows doing netilat yadayim from the sink and then afterwards doing tevilat yadayim in the water in the sink.</ref> | ||
