1" Brass Water Butt Set Including Inline Valve & 13mm Barb Irrigation Connector

WB34-BRASS-KIT-020+

This kit contains:

• 1 x Brass Water Butt Connector: 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female (WB-BR-34BSPF-1BSPM)
• 1 x Roll of PTFE Tape (PTFE)
• 1 x Threaded Purple Back Valve ¾” BSP Male – 13mm Barb Irrigation Fitting (A46705-VALVE13-34BSPM)

The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass outlet is a durable and adaptable fitting designed for rainwater harvesting and fluid storage applications. Made from high-quality, robust brass, it is engineered to withstand a variety of environmental conditions and deliver long-lasting performance. This fitting reduces a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, providing a practical solution for connecting pipes or fittings of different sizes within your water butt or container system.

If your barrel or container features a female thread, the 1" BSP male adaptor can be screwed in directly to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. Where no thread exists, the fitting can be installed by drilling a hole and securing it with the included washers and back nut. This guarantees a tight, reliable seal, preserving the integrity of your water storage.

To fix the fitting directly to your container, simply drill a 33mm hole to accommodate the 1" BSP male thread. Remove the back nut and one washer, insert the fitting through the hole so that the remaining washer sits inside the barrel, then tighten the nut to secure the assembly. The washer adds an extra layer of protection against leaks. This straightforward fitting is essential for anyone looking to customise or enhance their water storage solutions, offering both flexibility and durability.

The Threaded Purple Back Valve with ¾” BSP Male thread and 13mm barb is designed for efficient, reliable control in low-pressure irrigation systems. Its simple on/off operation with straight-through flow allows easy water flow management in various irrigation setups.

Built to withstand pressures up to 300 kPa, this valve suits low-pressure irrigation applications such as those supplied by rainwater tanks or other non-pressurised sources. The distinctive purple back identifies it for recycled water use, helping to prevent cross-contamination and ensuring safe water conservation practices.

Durability is a key benefit of this valve, made from UV-stabilised materials that protect it from sun damage over time. This UV resistance extends the valve's lifespan, making it a cost-effective option for long-term outdoor irrigation projects. The robust construction ensures reliable performance under demanding environmental conditions.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, also known as thread seal or plumber’s tape, is a versatile accessory extensively used in plumbing and sealing tasks. Its main purpose is to ensure a leak-proof connection between threaded pipe fittings, preventing the escape of liquids or gases. Easy to apply by hand, PTFE tape conforms closely to pipe threads, ideal for tight or complex fittings. Made from premium-quality PTFE, the tape resists heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it a trusted solution for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals working in challenging conditions.
