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 Brass Tap is a reliable and essential addition to any garden setup, designed to provide a secure and efficient water supply. Featuring a 1/2" BSPM (British Standard Pipe Male) inlet thread, this tap ensures a firm and leak-proof connection to your water source. The barbed outlet is specifically engineered to grip the inside of a hose pipe, ensuring a secure and watertight seal that prevents leaks and maintains consistent water flow.

Constructed from high-quality, durable brass material, this garden bib tap is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use and resist corrosion over time. The robust brass construction enhances the tap's longevity and ensures that the tap remains reliable and functional, even under varying weather conditions.

The turn handle on/off operation of the Garden Bib Brass Tap offers ease of use and precise control over water flow. This simple yet effective mechanism allows you to effortlessly start or stop the water supply as needed, making it ideal for a variety of gardening tasks. Whether you're watering plants, filling a watering can, or attaching a hose for more extensive irrigation, this garden tap delivers dependable performance and convenience.
