• 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.

The Garden Bib Tap 1/2" BSPM Inlet is an essential tool for any outdoor water management system, designed to provide reliable and efficient water flow control. Constructed from high-quality brass and nickel-plated for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, this tap is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The robust construction ensures long-lasting performance, making it an ideal choice for gardeners and homeowners looking for a dependable water tap solution.

One of the key features of this garden tap is its barbed outlet. The barbs are strategically designed to grip the inside of a hose securely, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection. This design element is particularly beneficial for maintaining a consistent water supply without the risk of the hose slipping off. Whether you are watering plants, washing vehicles, or filling pools, the secure connection provided by the barbed outlet enhances the overall efficiency and convenience of your watering tasks.

The Garden Bib Tap also features a turn-handle on/off operation, allowing for easy and precise control of water flow. Additionally, the 1/2" BSP male threaded inlet ensures compatibility with the water butt fitting, providing versatility and ease of installation. This combination of thoughtful design and practical features makes the Garden Bib Tap a valuable addition to any garden or outdoor space.
