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.

The Garden Tap Polished Brass 1/2" BSPM with a snap-on male connector is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable solution for their garden watering needs. Constructed from polished brass, this tap not only ensures durability and resistance to corrosion but also adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor space. The polished finish provides a sleek, shiny appearance that complements various garden styles and enhances the overall look of your outdoor area.

One of the standout features of this garden tap is its click-lock quick-connect outlet. This innovative design allows for easy attachment and detachment of hose pipes, making the process of connecting and disconnecting your garden hose a breeze. The secure click-lock mechanism ensures a tight and leak-free connection, providing peace of mind and convenience for garden enthusiasts. Whether you need to water plants, fill a watering can, or wash down garden furniture, this quick-connect feature simplifies your gardening tasks. The tap operates with a simple turn handle, allowing for straightforward on/off control.
