WB34-BRASS-KIT-026+

This kit includes:

• 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 Brass In-Line Valve ¾” BSP Female to Male (BR-TC-V-34BSPF-M)
• 1 x Brass Adaptor: ¾” BSP Female to 13mm Hose Barb (BR-TC13B-34BSPM)

The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass fitting is a sturdy and versatile component designed for rainwater harvesting and other fluid storage systems. Made from high-quality, durable brass, it is built to withstand various environmental challenges while providing reliable, long-lasting service. This fitting is specifically designed to reduce from a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, offering a practical solution to connect different sized pipes or fittings within your water butt or container setup.

If your barrel or container already has a female thread, the 1" BSP male connector can be screwed directly in to create a seamless, leak-free joint. If no thread is present, the fitting can be installed by drilling a hole and securing it with the included washers and back nut, ensuring a tight and dependable seal that maintains the integrity of your water storage system.

To install the fitting directly on a container, drill a 33mm hole to suit the 1" BSP male thread. After removing the back nut and one washer, insert the connector through the hole so that the remaining washer sits inside the container. Secure the fitting by tightening the nut firmly. The washer provides an additional seal against leaks. This simple-to-fit component is essential for anyone looking to customise or upgrade their water storage arrangement, combining ease of installation with durability.

The brass in-line valve features ¾” BSP male and female threaded ends and is expertly designed for precise control of water flow in a variety of plumbing and industrial applications. The threaded design facilitates easy installation and removal while providing a secure, leak-resistant connection.

Constructed from premium, corrosion-resistant brass, this valve is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Renowned for its strength and longevity, brass ensures the valve withstands frequent operation and constant exposure to water or other fluids whilst maintaining a tight seal and consistent performance throughout varied conditions.

This valve is fundamental for regulating water flow, allowing users to fully open, partially restrict, or completely shut off the flow as needed. Whether in residential plumbing, irrigation, or industrial setups, its durable design minimises maintenance requirements and provides dependable service, making it a valuable addition to any water control system.

The brass adaptor fitting included features a hose barb on one end and a ¾” BSP female thread on the other, designed to establish a secure and leak-proof connection between hose and pipework. The barb is crafted to grip tightly inside the hose, preventing slippage and ensuring a reliable seal.

Made from strong, corrosion-resistant brass, this adaptor offers excellent durability, making it ideal for use in demanding environments. The material’s combination of strength and malleability enables it to withstand high pressure and stress without cracking, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Brass fittings also provide superb thermal conductivity and tolerance to high temperatures, broadening their usability across various settings. They are easy to install and tighten, ensuring a secure and accurate fit with minimal effort. These qualities make brass adaptors a dependable and practical choice for connecting hoses to pipelines, affording strength, flexibility, and longevity.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, commonly referred to as thread seal or plumber’s tape, is a versatile sealing material frequently used in plumbing and piping. Its principal role is to create a reliable, leak-tight seal between threaded pipe fittings, preventing the escape of gases or liquids. Easy to apply manually, the tape moulds neatly to pipe threads, making it suitable for tight or complex assemblies. Manufactured from high-quality PTFE, the tape resists heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it an essential choice for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals operating in challenging environments.
