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 basic garden tap is a practical and reliable solution for your watering needs, featuring a smooth lever control that ensures effortless operation. The lever allows you to easily adjust and control the water flow, making it convenient to switch between a gentle light stream for delicate plants and a powerful stream for more substantial watering tasks. With its user-friendly design, this tap simplifies garden maintenance, providing precise control over water distribution.

Constructed with a ½” BSP male threaded inlet, the garden tap offers a secure connection to the water butt extension fitting. This is a basic tap without any thread or connectors on the outlet so cannot be attached to a garden hose or irrigation system, this tap is designed to be used standalone.

Durability is a key feature of this garden tap, as it is made from zinc nickel-plated material. This plating provides a strong and long-lasting finish that resists corrosion and wear, ensuring that the tap remains functional and aesthetically pleasing over time. The robust construction stands up to the rigors of outdoor use, making this tap a dependable choice for any garden. Its combination of strength, ease of use, and weather resistance makes it an essential tool for maintaining a thriving garden.

Please note, this kit is not sold with PTFE Tape. Tape will need to be purchased separately.
