I have 2 205L plastic barrels, I was wondering if there was a way to put a bulkhead valve in with out having to cut extra holes in the barrel. I only want to drill a hole for the valve.

Rob Bob's Aquaponics channel has a lot of DIY stuff, and I'm certain I've seen him add spigots at some point or other. Here's a link that I think has him doing something like what you're looking for. If it doesn't, some searching through his decade of videos will get you results.
So, the first thing that video does is cut the top off the barrel. Which is exactly what I don't want to do.
I'll check out more of his videos later to see if he shows a technique I'm looking for, but the one in that video is opposite of my desired design.
That search was 2 minutes of my time combined with previous knowledge. The information you need is there. If you don't want to put in the effort to find it, why should I?
I found a bulkhead fitting that would fit through the barrel bung on mine. There is a string trick to thread it into place; but I just kinda shook the barrel a bit and it fell into place.
Do you have anymore info, like brand, make, or design? Sounds like this could be what I am looking for.
Unfortunately the only place I was able to find them was Amazon.
