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 a snap-on male fitting is a versatile and robust addition to any outdoor watering system. Crafted from zinc nickel-plated material, this tap offers exceptional strength and durability, ensuring it withstands the elements and the rigors of frequent use. The high-quality plating offers excellent resistance to corrosion, extending the tap's lifespan and maintaining its aesthetic appeal over time.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the lever mechanism allows for effortless control of water flow. The easy on/off manoeuvring capability makes it simple to regulate the water supply with just a quick turn of the lever. This intuitive design reduces strain and enhances the user experience, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial garden settings.

The snap-on male click-lock quick connect outlet is another standout feature of this garden lever tap. It facilitates a fast and secure connection to various hoses and irrigation systems, allowing for hassle-free setup and takedown. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who frequently change attachments or move hoses around the garden. The click-lock mechanism ensures a tight, leak-proof connection, optimizing water flow and efficiency while minimizing wastage. Overall, the Garden Lever Tap is a practical, reliable, and user-friendly solution for all your watering needs.
