This kit includes:

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

The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass fitting is a tough and adaptable component designed for rainwater collection and various fluid storage systems. Manufactured from high-quality, durable brass, this connector withstands diverse environmental conditions and ensures long-lasting reliability. It is specially engineered to step down from a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, making it ideal for connecting pipes or fittings of differing sizes within your water butt or container setup.

If your barrel or container already has a female thread, the 1" BSP male adaptor can be screwed in directly to create a secure, leak-free joint. Where no thread exists, the fitting may be installed by drilling a suitable hole and fastening it using the included washers and back nut. This installation method guarantees a tight seal, preventing leaks and protecting your water storage system’s integrity.

To fit the adaptor straight onto your container, drill a 33mm hole designed for the 1" BSP male thread. After removing 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 firmly to secure the assembly. The washer provides an extra barrier against leaks. This simple-to-install fitting is essential for anyone looking to modify or upgrade their water storage solutions, combining ease of use with durability.

The In-Line Soft Touch Valve (¾” BSP Male inlet and outlet) provides reliable and precise control of water or other fluid flow. Made from tough, long-lasting plastic, it is built to resist wear and perform consistently even in demanding environments.

A key feature of this valve is its smooth turn on/off mechanism, featuring a soft-touch design for comfortable handling and accurate flow adjustment. This user-friendly valve is well-suited for both domestic and commercial use, especially where frequent flow regulation is needed. Its construction minimises the chance of leaks and ensures a tight seal when closed, preserving the efficiency and reliability of your plumbing or irrigation system.

Designed for easy maintenance, the valve’s durable plastic resists corrosion and build-up, reducing the need for frequent cleaning or replacement. It offers an excellent balance of durability, user comfort, and dependability for long-term, effective fluid management.

The Tap Connector ¾” BSP Female to 4mm Micro Barb is a versatile adaptor that links your water butt valve kit to micro irrigation tubing. Crafted for strength and durability to withstand outdoor conditions, it provides a secure and leak-proof connection between the 3/4" BSP valve thread and 4mm micro tubing.

Easy to install without specialised tools, this adaptor enables efficient water distribution to your garden, flowerbeds, or vegetable patches, making it suitable for gardeners of all experience levels.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, commonly called plumber’s tape or thread seal tape, is an essential sealing material used to create a reliable, leak-resistant connection between threaded pipe fittings. It is simple to apply by hand and moulds easily to threads, making it ideal for tight or complex assemblies. Made from premium-grade PTFE, the tape is resistant to heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it the preferred choice for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance technicians working in demanding conditions.
