Is the threaded ring separate from the actual spout?

Urgh, mine's like that and it never seems to seal properly.

I used to have a 5-gallon can which came with both a spout (threaded
portion was part of the spout and not a separate ring) and a cap.

I've not seen one like that for a long time; maybe they stopped making
them because too many people lost the spout while the cap was on (or vice
versa).

Maybe I need to find another can like it and get creative with some gas-
resistant glue, making myself a single-piece spout and a single-piece cap.

cheers
