WB34-BRASS-KIT-003+

This kit includes:

• 1 x Water Butt Brass Connector 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female (WB-BR-34BSPF-1BSPM)
• 1 x Roll of PTFE Tape (PTFE)
• 1 x Lever Tap with ¾” Hose Barb (GTLEVER-ZINC34B)

The Water Butt Brass Connector features a 1" BSP male thread reducing to a 3/4" BSP female thread, offering a durable and adaptable fitting designed for rainwater harvesting and other fluid storage applications. Made from high-quality, long-lasting brass, it resists various environmental conditions and ensures reliable performance. This fitting provides a practical means of connecting pipes or fittings of different sizes within your water butt or container setup.

If your barrel or container already includes a female thread, the 1" BSP male end can be screwed directly in to form a seamless and secure connection. Where no thread exists, the connector may be fitted by drilling a suitable hole and fastening it with the supplied washers and back nut. This method guarantees a tight, leak-proof seal that preserves the integrity of your water storage system.

To install, create a 33mm hole to accommodate the 1" BSP male thread. Remove the back nut and one washer, insert the connector through the hole ensuring the remaining washer sits inside the barrel, then tighten the nut firmly. The washer adds an extra layer of protection against leaks. This simple fitting is a crucial component for anyone seeking to customise or enhance their water storage system with both flexibility and durability.

The Garden Lever Tap features a 3/4" BSP male inlet and a 3/4" barbed hose outlet, providing a versatile and dependable solution for a variety of garden watering needs. Manufactured from zinc nickel-plated material, this tap delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and robust durability, making it well-suited for frequent outdoor use in gardening, landscaping, and other water management tasks.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the lever handle allows smooth and effortless on/off operation suitable for users of all ages and strengths. It offers precise control of water flow, helping to use water efficiently and avoid wastage. Whether you require a gentle trickle for tender plants or a powerful stream for filling containers or cleaning tools, this lever tap facilitates quick and accurate flow adjustment.

The 3/4" barbed outlet is engineered for a secure connection to garden hoses. The barbed design firmly grips the inside of the hose, creating a leak-tight attachment that prevents accidental detachment or water flow interruptions. Installation is straightforward—simply push the hose onto the tap where it locks firmly, enabling a hassle-free and efficient setup for any garden irrigation system.

Included PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, also known as plumber’s or thread seal tape, is a versatile accessory widely used in plumbing and sealing applications. It creates a reliable, leak-resistant seal between threaded pipe fittings to prevent the escape of gases or liquids. Easy to apply by hand, the tape conforms snugly to pipe threads and is ideal for use in tight or intricate configurations. Made from high-quality PTFE, it is resistant to heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it a dependable choice for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals.
