WBEX12MF-KIT009

This kit contains:

• 1 x Water Butt Extension ½” BSP (EXTENSION12BSPM-F)
  
• 1 x Nut (BUTT12BSPM-NUT)

The water butt extension connector is a versatile accessory designed to enhance the functionality of your water butt or rain barrel. Featuring a BSP male thread on one end and a BSP female thread on the other, this connector provides a convenient 50mm outwards extension. This extension allows for easier access to the water stored in your barrel, making it easier to fill watering cans or attach a hose for example. This enhances the overall usability of your rainwater harvesting system. 

The device has a 1/2" BSP thread size which fits a 21mm hole. For installation, the connector can be effortlessly screwed into existing female threads on your container. This is an ideal solution if your water butt already has pre-installed threads. However, if your barrel lacks a pre-existing thread, the connector can still be installed by creating a hole in the desired location. Once installed, the connector extends outward by 50mm, providing ample space for attaching hoses or filling containers. 

The Back Nut and Washers in this kit are used to secure the water butt extension to a water butt. The back nut provides a secure lock, ensuring that the fitting remains in place even under pressure. The Back Nut and Washers combination is easy to install and remove, making it a practical choice for both temporary and permanent setups. The robust construction of these components ensures durability and longevity, even in demanding environments.

The washers in this set play a crucial role in distributing the load evenly across the surface, which helps in preventing any potential damage or deformation that might occur during the tightening process. Additionally, the washer provides an effective seal, minimizing the risk of leaks and ensuring a watertight connection. This feature is particularly important in applications involving fluids, as it helps maintain the integrity of the system and prevents wastage.

Elevate your garden’s aesthetic with the polished brass garden tap, a perfect blend of functionality and style. Crafted from high-quality polished brass, this tap offers a professional-looking finish that adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor space. The lustrous sheen not only enhances its visual appeal but also ensures durability and resistance to rust and corrosion, making it an excellent investment for long-term use.

Featuring a ½” BSP male inlet thread, this garden tap seamlessly connects to the water butt fitting providing a reliable and leak-proof fit. The 13mm hose barb outlet is designed with a barbed structure that grips firmly onto the inside of the hose, creating a secure connection that prevents leaks and accidental disconnections. This thoughtful design ensures that water flows smoothly and consistently, enhancing your watering experience and minimizing interruptions.

The garden tap is equipped with a convenient turn handle for straightforward on/off operation, allowing for precise control over water flow. Whether you’re tending to your garden or washing down outdoor equipment, the easy-to-use handle simplifies operation, making it suitable for users of all ages.
