The Water Butt 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female outlet is a versatile and robust fitting designed for rainwater harvesting and other fluid storage systems. Made from high-quality durable brass, this connector is built to withstand various environmental conditions and provide long-lasting performance. The device is specifically engineered to reduce from a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, making it a practical solution for adapting different sizes of pipes or fittings in your water butt or container setup. 

If your barrel or container already features a female thread, the 1" BSP male connector can be directly screwed into place, providing a seamless connection. If there is no pre-existing thread, the device can be attached by creating a hole and securing it with the included washers and back nut. This method ensures a tight and reliable seal, preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of your water storage system.

To attach the device directly to a container, simply create a 33mm hole to accommodate the 1" BSP male thread. After removing the back nut and one washer, insert the connector through the hole, ensuring the remaining washer is on the inside of the barrel. Secure the device by tightening the nut. The washer provides an additional layer of protection against leaks. This easy-to-install fitting is an essential component for anyone looking to customize or upgrade their water storage solutions, offering both flexibility and durability.

The In Line Soft Touch Valve 3/4" BSPM is a robust and reliable flow control device designed to manage water or other fluid systems with precision and ease. This valve features a ¾” BSP Male inlet and outlet, making it versatile and easy to integrate into various plumbing setups. Crafted from strong, durable plastic, it ensures longevity and resistance to wear and tear, even in demanding environments. 

One of the standout features of this valve is its smooth turn on/off control mechanism. The soft-touch design allows for effortless operation, providing a comfortable grip and precise flow regulation. This user-friendly aspect makes it ideal for both residential and commercial applications, where frequent adjustments might be necessary. The valve’s design minimizes the risk of leaks and ensures a secure seal when closed, maintaining the integrity of your plumbing/irrigation system.

In addition to its functional attributes, the In Line Soft Touch Valve 3/4" BSPM is also built with ease of maintenance in mind. Its durable plastic construction is resistant to corrosion and build-up, reducing the need for frequent cleaning or replacements. This valve represents an excellent balance of durability, ease of use, and reliability, making it a valuable component for anyone looking to maintain efficient and long-lasting fluid control in their systems.

MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) fittings are essential components in piping systems, specifically designed for connecting MDPE pipes. Known for their durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance, MDPE fittings are widely used in applications such as water supply, irrigation, and industrial processes. These fittings, feature threaded compression connections that ensure a tight, leak-free seal without the need for specialized equipment, making them both cost-effective and easy to install. 

An MDPE straight connector is a type of pipe fitting used to join two pieces of piping or tubing in a straight line, without any angle or deviation. MDPE PN10 pipe fittings are engineered to withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi), ensuring the integrity of the piping system under various conditions. These fittings are not only durable, capable of withstanding harsh weather and mechanical stress, but also resistant to corrosion from chemicals and acids, which contributes to their longevity and reduces maintenance needs. Overall, MDPE fittings provide a reliable, versatile, and efficient solution for a wide range of piping applications.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, also known as thread seal or plumber's tape, is a highly versatile tool widely used in plumbing, piping, and sealing applications. Its primary function is to provide a reliable, leak-proof seal between threaded pipe fittings, preventing the escape of gases or liquids. Simple to apply by hand, PTFE tape conforms easily to pipe threads, making it ideal for tight spaces and complex configurations. Made from high-quality Polytetrafluoroethylene, the tape is resistant to heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it suitable for demanding environments and a go-to solution for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals.
