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 Lever Tap with 1/2 barb hose outlet is a robust and reliable solution for your watering needs. Constructed from zinc nickel-plated material, this tap boasts exceptional strength and durability, ensuring it withstands the rigors of outdoor use and exposure to the elements. The high-quality plating not only enhances its resistance to corrosion but also prolongs its lifespan, making it a dependable choice for gardeners and homeowners alike.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the lever handle offers effortless on/off manoeuvring. This intuitive design feature allows for quick and easy control of water flow, reducing the strain and hassle often associated with traditional tap mechanisms. Whether you need a gentle trickle or a full blast of water, the lever tap provides precise and efficient regulation, ensuring your gardening tasks are carried out smoothly and effectively.

The barbed hose outlet is engineered for a secure and reliable connection to the pipe. The barb grips the inner walls of the hose firmly, creating a leak-proof attachment that prevents disconnections and water flow disruptions. Installation is straightforward: simply push the pipe onto the tap, and it will lock firmly in place. This secure connection is essential for maintaining consistent water pressure and flow, making the Garden Lever Tap a practical and indispensable addition to any garden irrigation system.
