The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass fitting is a robust and versatile component designed for rainwater collection and other fluid storage systems. Manufactured from high-quality, durable brass, it withstands various environmental conditions while delivering reliable long-term performance. This fitting is specifically crafted to reduce a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, offering a practical solution for connecting different pipe or fitting sizes within your water butt or container setup.

If your barrel or container is already fitted with a female thread, the 1" BSP male adapter can be screwed in directly to create a seamless, leak-proof joint. Where no thread exists, the fitting can be installed by drilling an appropriate 33mm hole and securing it with the included washers and back nut, ensuring a firm, watertight seal that maintains the integrity of your water storage.

To attach this fitting directly to a container, drill a 33mm hole to accommodate 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 to fasten securely. The washer provides additional protection to prevent leaks. This straightforward, easy-to-install fitting is essential for anyone wishing to customise or improve their water storage system with both flexibility and durability.

The In-Line Soft Touch Valve with ¾” BSP Male inlet and outlet is a durable and dependable flow control device designed for precise management of water or other fluids. Constructed from strong, long-lasting plastic, it resists wear and tear even under demanding conditions.

A key feature of this valve is its smooth on/off control mechanism with a soft-touch finish, allowing effortless operation, comfortable handling, and accurate flow regulation. Its user-friendly design makes it suitable for both domestic and commercial environments requiring frequent adjustments. The valve also minimises the risk of leaks and guarantees a secure seal when closed, preserving the efficiency of your plumbing or irrigation system.

Additionally, this valve is designed for low maintenance, thanks to its corrosion-resistant plastic build that reduces buildup and the need for frequent cleanings or replacement. It offers an excellent combination of durability, ease of use, and reliability for long-lasting fluid control.

The Female Hose Connector with a ¾” BSP Female thread features an innovative Click-Lock quick connect system, enabling fast and efficient attachment/detachment of hoses and accessories. This mechanism reduces setup and maintenance time, while providing a secure and snug fit that prevents accidental disconnections during use.

Made from sturdy, durable plastic, the connector is built to withstand regular use in various environments, ensuring long-lasting performance and resistance to wear and tear. It is a practical and reliable choice for your hose connection needs across a variety of watering and irrigation applications.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, commonly referred to as thread seal or plumber’s tape, is a highly versatile sealing material widely used in plumbing and piping for creating leak-proof seals between threaded pipe fittings. Easy to apply by hand, it moulds perfectly to pipe threads, ideal for tight or complex installations. Made from premium-grade PTFE, this tape resists heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it an indispensable tool for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals working in demanding conditions.
