The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass fitting is a durable and flexible component designed for rainwater harvesting and other liquid storage applications. Made from high-quality robust brass, it resists various weather conditions and delivers long-lasting performance. This fitting is purpose-built to step down from a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, offering a practical solution to connect different pipe or fitting sizes 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 secure and leak-proof joint. Where no thread exists, the fitting can be mounted by drilling a 33mm hole and securing it with the included washers and back nut. This installation method ensures a tight seal and preserves the integrity of your water storage system.

To fit the connector directly onto a container, drill a 33mm hole suitable for the 1" BSP male thread. After removing the back nut and one washer, insert the fitting through the hole ensuring the remaining washer rests inside the container. Tighten the nut firmly to secure the connection. The washer provides an additional safeguard against leaks. This easy-to-fit component is essential for anyone aiming to customise or enhance their water storage solutions, combining simplicity with durability.

The In-Line Soft Touch Valve ¾” BSP Male inlet and outlet is a resilient, dependable flow control device, designed for precise regulation of water or other fluids. Constructed from strong, durable plastic, it resists wear and performs reliably even in challenging environments.

A key feature of this valve is its smooth on/off control mechanism with a soft-touch finish, allowing effortless operation, a comfortable grip, and precise flow adjustment. Its user-friendly design makes it suitable for residential and commercial applications where frequent flow changes may be required. The valve’s construction minimises the risk of leaks and guarantees a secure seal when closed, maintaining your plumbing or irrigation system's integrity.

Additionally, this valve is designed for easy maintenance; its corrosion-resistant plastic construction reduces build-up and cuts down on the need for frequent cleaning or replacement. It delivers an excellent balance of durability, ease of use, and reliability for long-term fluid control.

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

Made from robust and high-grade plastic, this connector is built to withstand regular use across various conditions, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear and tear. It is a practical and trustworthy choice for a wide range of watering and irrigation tasks.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, commonly called plumber’s tape or thread seal tape, is a versatile and widely used sealing material in plumbing and piping. Its main purpose is to create a reliable, leak-proof seal between threaded pipe fittings to prevent the escape of liquids or gases. Easy to apply by hand, the tape conforms well to pipe threads, making it ideal for tight or complex assemblies. Made from premium-grade PTFE, it withstands heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it essential for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals working in demanding environments.
