1” Brass Water Butt Set Including Brass Valve with 19mm Barb Connector

WB34-BRASS-KIT-027+

This kit comprises:

• 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 Male to 19mm Hose Barb (BR-TC19B-34BSPM)

The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass fitting is a sturdy and adaptable component intended for rainwater harvesting and other fluid storage solutions. Manufactured from premium durable brass, it withstands varied environmental conditions and ensures dependable, long-lasting performance. This fitting facilitates reducing a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, making it an ideal option for connecting pipes or fittings of differing sizes within your water butt or container system.

If your barrel or container comes pre-threaded with a female thread, the 1" BSP male connector can be screwed in directly to form a secure and tight assembly. In cases where there is no existing thread, the fitting can be installed by creating an aperture and fastening it using the provided washers and back nut. This guarantees a leak-proof and dependable seal, protecting the integrity of your water storage.

To fit the device onto a container, drill a 33mm hole designed to suit the 1" BSP male thread. Remove the back nut and one washer, insert the fitting through the hole with the remaining washer positioned inside the container, then tighten the nut firmly. The washer adds an extra safeguard against leaks. This easy-to-install fitting is essential for those looking to personalise or enhance their water storage solutions, offering both flexibility and durability.

The brass in-line valve, equipped with ¾” BSP male and female threaded ends, is carefully engineered to regulate water flow in a variety of plumbing and industrial applications. The threaded design allows for straightforward installation and removal, providing a secure connection that reduces leak risk.

Made from high-quality brass, this valve delivers excellent corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Renowned for its strength and longevity, brass ensures the valve withstands frequent operation and continual exposure to water and other fluids. Its robust construction guarantees the valve maintains a tight seal over time, offering consistent performance across diverse conditions.

This valve is critical for controlling water flow, enabling precise adjustments from fully open to partially restricted or completely shut off. Whether applied in residential plumbing, irrigation, or industrial setups, its design and materials promote reliable operation and reduce maintenance demands. Its versatility and durability make it a vital asset for any water control system, delivering confidence and lasting functionality.

The included brass adaptor fitting is essential for linking a hose to a pipeline, engineered to secure a stable and leak-free joint. This fitting features a hose barb on one end and a BSP thread on the other. The barb is designed to grip the hose firmly, preventing slippage and ensuring a reliable seal, while the BSP thread offers a standardised connection compatible with many plumbing systems.

Constructed from sturdy brass, the adaptor benefits from excellent corrosion resistance—key for longevity in demanding environments. Its strong yet malleable nature allows the fitting to tolerate high pressure and mechanical stress without cracking, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Additionally, brass fittings are celebrated for their superior thermal conductivity and resistance to elevated temperatures, fitting a broad range of uses. They are straightforward to install and tighten, ensuring a secure and precise fit with minimal effort. These qualities make brass adaptors a practical and reliable choice for connecting hoses to pipelines, combining durability, strength, and flexibility.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, also termed thread seal or plumber’s tape, is a versatile and widely used sealing solution in plumbing and piping work. Its primary role is to provide a reliable, leak-proof seal between threaded pipe fittings, preventing the escape of liquids or gases. Easy to apply by hand, PTFE tape perfectly conforms to pipe threads, making it ideal for tight spaces and complex fittings. Manufactured from premium-grade PTFE, the tape resists heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it the preferred tool for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals working in demanding conditions.
