It really depends on what you want to do coming from the brute. I plumbed mine through the bottom, used a uniseal, slid pvc throught it, then added a "t" so that I could feed a bucket below it, as well as attach a hose for filling my smaller buckets. If you are just wanting a tap coming out of the brute, you could use a street 90, and then a valve to attach to the other end of the 90.

Here are a couple pics of my set up

The street 90 isn't needed, but can be used. If you got say 3/4" Uniseals, then you can run 3/4" PVC through it and then add a 90 or valve or whatever configuration needed to get the water from the Brute to where you need it. Make sure you use the proper size hole saw to drill. I believe the 3/4" Uniseal requires a 1 1/4" hole saw.
