WB34-BRASS-KIT-011+

This kit includes:

• 1 x Brass Water Butt Adapter: 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female (WB-BR-34BSPF-1BSPM)
• 1 x PTFE Tape Roll (PTFE)
• 1 x 3/4" BSP In-Line Valve (HCV34BSPM001BLACK)

The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass outlet is a sturdy, adaptable connector ideal for rainwater collection and various fluid storage solutions. Precision-engineered from premium brass, it is designed to last and perform dependably under diverse conditions. This fitting enables a reduction from a 1" BSP male to a 3/4" BSP female thread, making it convenient for joining different sizes of pipes or fittings within your water butt system.

Should your barrel or tank be pre-fitted with a female thread, the 1" BSP male connector can be directly screwed in for a secure fit. Where a thread is absent, the fitting may be installed by creating an appropriate opening and securing it with the supplied washers and back nut, guaranteeing a watertight seal and safeguarding the integrity of your water storage.

To fit the connector, drill a 33mm hole to accommodate the 1" BSP male thread. Remove the back nut and one washer, insert the fitting through the hole ensuring the remaining washer sits inside the barrel, then tighten the nut to complete a leak-proof installation. The washer adds extra security against leakage. This easy-to-mount connector is essential for those upgrading or customising their water storage setups, offering durability and versatility.

The In-Line Soft Touch 3/4" BSP Valve is a robust flow control component, ideal for accurate management of water or other fluids. Featuring 3/4" BSP male threads on both ends, it effortlessly integrates into a range of plumbing arrangements. Manufactured from resilient plastic, it ensures lasting use and resistance to wear, even in challenging conditions.

A key benefit is its smoothly operated on/off function, with a soft-touch control for comfortable, precise adjustment. This ergonomic design makes the valve practical for both home and commercial use, especially where regular regulation is needed. Its construction reduces leak risk and provides reliable sealing, maintaining your system’s performance.

Maintenance is straightforward, with the durable plastic resisting corrosion and build-up, minimising the need for frequent cleaning or replacement. Balancing strength, ease of operation, and reliability, this valve is a valuable addition for efficient long-term fluid control.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, also called thread seal or plumber’s tape, is a widely used item in plumbing for sealing threaded joints. Its main purpose is to ensure a tight, leak-proof connection for pipes, preventing leakage of liquids or gases. Easy to apply, it moulds seamlessly to pipe threads, making it suitable for confined or complicated installations. Crafted from high-quality PTFE, the tape stands up to high temperatures, chemicals, and pressure, making it indispensable for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance personnel.
