WB34-BRASS-KIT-019+

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)
• 1 x Brass Geka Type Claw Connector - 3/4" BSP Female (GK34BSPF)

The 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female brass outlet is a sturdy and versatile fitting designed for rainwater harvesting and other liquid storage applications. Manufactured from premium, durable brass, it is built to resist various environmental factors and provide reliable, long-term performance. This fitting allows the reduction from a 1” BSP male thread to a 3/4” BSP female thread, making it a practical choice for adapting different pipe or fitting sizes in your water butt or container system.

If your barrel or tank already has a female thread, the 1" BSP male fitting can be screwed in directly to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. If no thread is present, the fitting can be installed by drilling a 33mm hole and securing it with the supplied washers and back nut to create a tight, dependable seal that maintains the integrity of your water storage.

To fit the device directly onto a container, drill a 33mm hole for the 1" BSP male thread. After removing the back nut and one washer, insert the fitting through the hole so the remaining washer is positioned inside the container. Tighten the nut to secure the assembly. The washer provides an additional barrier against leaks. This easy-to-install fitting is a vital component for anyone wishing to customise or upgrade their water storage solutions, offering both strength and flexibility.

The In-Line Soft Touch Valve with ¾” BSP male threads on inlet and outlet is a durable, reliable flow control device designed for precise management of water or other fluids. Made from tough, long-lasting plastic, it performs well even under demanding conditions.

This valve features a smooth on/off operation with a soft-touch design, providing comfortable handling and accurate flow regulation. Its user-friendly characteristics make it suitable for residential and commercial applications where frequent adjustment is required. The construction reduces the risk of leaks and ensures a secure seal when closed, maintaining the efficiency and reliability of your plumbing or irrigation system.

Additionally, the valve is designed for low-maintenance use, with corrosion-resistant plastic that minimises build-up and the need for cleaning or replacement. It offers an excellent balance of durability, ease of use, and dependability for long-lasting fluid control.

Geka type connectors, also known as claw couplings, are robust brass hose fittings commonly used in industrial, agricultural, and construction applications for connecting hoses and pipes. Their universal design features symmetrical claws that engage quickly and securely, allowing for fast tool-free assembly and disassembly. This universal compatibility ensures they work with hoses and pipes from different manufacturers.

Made from high-quality brass, these connectors offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. Equipped with premium rubber seals, Geka connectors provide a watertight and airtight seal, preventing leaks and ensuring efficient fluid transfer with minimal downtime.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, commonly called thread seal or plumber’s tape, is a versatile sealing aid widely used in plumbing and piping applications. Its main purpose is to create a reliable, leak-proof seal between threaded pipe fittings, preventing gases or liquids from escaping. Easy to apply by hand, the tape conforms tightly to threads, making it ideal for tight or complex spaces. Manufactured from high-grade PTFE, it is resistant to heat, chemicals, and high pressure, making it the preferred choice for plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals in challenging environments.
