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.

The brass adaptor fitting features a hose barb on one end and a BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread on the other, making it versatile and suitable for various applications. The hose barb end is engineered to provide a tight grip on the hose, preventing slippage and ensuring a reliable seal. The BSP thread allows for a standardized connection to pipes and fittings, facilitating easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of plumbing systems.

Crafted from strong and durable brass, this adaptor fitting offers numerous benefits. Brass is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, which is crucial in various challenging environments. This resistance to rust and degradation ensures the longevity of the fitting, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.

Additionally, brass provides a good balance of strength and malleability, allowing the fitting to withstand high pressure and stress without cracking or breaking. Moreover, brass fittings are known for their excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to high temperatures, making them suitable for a wide range of temperatures in various 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.
