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)

The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass fitting is a strong and adaptable component designed for rainwater harvesting and fluid storage systems. Made from premium durable brass, it withstands a variety of environmental factors while ensuring long-term reliability. This fitting is purposefully designed to reduce from a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, offering a practical solution for connecting different pipe or fitting sizes in your water butt or container setup.

If your barrel or container already has a female thread, the 1" BSP male fitting can be simply screwed in, providing a secure, leak-free connection. When no thread pre-exists, the fitting can be installed by drilling a suitable hole and securing it with the included washers and back nut. This ensures a tight, dependable seal that protects your water storage system’s integrity.

To fit the connector directly to a container, drill a 33mm hole matching the 1" BSP male thread. Remove the back nut and one washer, then insert the fitting through the hole so the remaining washer sits inside the barrel. Secure the fitting by tightening the nut firmly, with the washer adding an extra barrier against leaks. This straightforward fitting is essential for anyone wishing to customise or enhance their water storage solutions, combining ease of installation with durable performance.

The ¾” BSP In-Line Soft Touch Valve is a robust and reliable flow control device designed for precise regulation of water or other fluids. Featuring ¾” BSP male threads on both inlet and outlet, it is easy to integrate into a wide range of plumbing systems. Constructed from strong, long-lasting plastic, it is built to resist wear and endure challenging conditions.

A key feature is its smooth on/off operation with a soft-touch finish, which allows comfortable handling and accurate flow adjustment. This user-friendly design suits both residential and commercial applications where frequent flow changes may be necessary. The valve’s design minimises risks of leaks and guarantees a secure seal when closed, maintaining system efficiency.

Additionally, the valve requires minimal maintenance thanks to its corrosion-resistant plastic body, which resists buildup and reduces cleaning or replacement needs. It offers a balanced combination of durability, ease of use, and reliability for long-lasting fluid control.

The Female Hose Connector with ¾” BSP Female thread incorporates a convenient Click-Lock quick connect system. This feature enables swift and efficient attachment or removal of hoses and accessories, cutting down setup and maintenance time. The Click-Lock mechanism ensures a tight, secure fit to prevent accidental disconnections during use.

Built from robust and high-quality plastic, this connector withstands regular use across various environments, delivering dependable longevity and resistance to wear and tear. It is an excellent choice for diverse watering and irrigation needs.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, often called plumber’s tape or thread seal tape, is a versatile and essential sealing material used widely in plumbing and piping applications. It provides a reliable, leak-proof seal between threaded pipe fittings, preventing the escape of liquids or gases. Easy to apply by hand, the tape moulds snugly to pipe threads, making it ideal for complicated or tight spaces. Made from premium PTFE, it resists heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it a trusted choice for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals working in demanding conditions.
