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 extension, making it easier to fill watering cans or attach a hose.

The device has a 3/4" BSP thread size which fits a 26mm 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. This extension allows for easier access to the water stored in your barrel, enhancing the overall usability of your rainwater harvesting system. Whether you are looking to improve the convenience of filling watering cans or creating a more accessible outlet for a garden hose, the water butt extension connector is an essential upgrade for any rainwater collection setup.

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 Lever Tap features a 3/4 BSPM inlet and a 3/4 barb hose outlet, providing a versatile and reliable solution for various garden watering needs. Constructed from zinc nickel-plated material, this tap offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh outdoor environments. The robust construction makes it ideal for frequent use in gardening, landscaping, and other outdoor water management applications.

Designed with a user-friendly lever mechanism, this tap allows for effortless on/off manoeuvring, making it convenient for users of all ages and strengths. The lever handle provides precise control over water flow, ensuring efficient water usage and preventing wastage. Whether you need a gentle stream for delicate plants or a strong flow for filling buckets or washing tools, the lever tap makes water flow adjustments quick and easy.

The 3/4 barb hose outlet is engineered for a secure and reliable attachment to hoses. The barbed design grips the inner walls of the hose firmly, creating a leak-proof connection that prevents any accidental disconnections or disruptions in water flow. This feature ensures that the hose stays securely attached. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a simple push of the hose onto the tap, where it locks firmly in place, providing a hassle-free and efficient setup for any garden watering system.
