3/4” Water Butt Brass Set Including Polished Brass Tap with Quick-Connect Fitting

WB12-BRASS-KIT-016+

This kit comprises:

• 1 x Water Butt Brass Connector (WB-BR-12BSPF-34BSPM)
• 1 x Roll of PTFE Tape (PTFE)
• 1 x Polished Brass Garden Tap with 1/2" BSP Male and Snap-On Connector (GTBIB-PB-12BSPM-Q)

The Water Butt Brass Connector features a 3/4" BSP male thread reducing to a 1/2" BSP female thread, making it a sturdy and versatile fitting ideal for rainwater harvesting and various liquid storage applications. Made from premium durable brass, this connector is designed to withstand a variety of environmental conditions while providing reliable, long-lasting performance. It offers a practical solution for connecting pipes or fittings of differing sizes in your water butt or container setup.

If your barrel or container already has a female thread, the 3/4" BSP male end can be directly screwed in to establish a seamless connection. When no pre-existing thread is available, the fitting can be installed by drilling a 26mm hole and securing it using the included washers and back nut. This ensures a secure, leak-proof seal that maintains the integrity of your water storage system.

To fit the connector, remove the back nut and one washer, insert the fitting through the hole ensuring the remaining washer is positioned inside the barrel, then tighten the nut firmly. The washer adds an extra layer of leak protection. This straightforward installation makes it an essential component for anyone aiming to upgrade or customise their water storage solution with both durability and flexibility.

The polished brass garden tap with a 1/2" BSP male thread features a snap-on male quick-connect outlet, offering an excellent solution for garden watering needs. Constructed from polished brass, this tap combines durability and corrosion resistance with an attractive, high-gloss finish that enhances the aesthetic of any outdoor area.

A key feature is the click-lock quick-connect outlet, which simplifies attaching and detaching hose pipes, making hose management effortless. The secure click-lock mechanism guarantees a tight, leak-free connection, providing convenience and peace of mind for garden enthusiasts. The tap is operated by a simple turn handle for easy on/off flow control.

Included PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tape, also known as plumber’s tape or thread seal tape, is a versatile aid widely used in plumbing, piping, and sealing applications. Its main purpose is to create a reliable, leak-proof seal between threaded pipe fittings to prevent the escape of liquids or gases. It is easily applied by hand, conforms well to pipe threads — even in tight or awkward spaces — and is made from high-grade material resistant to heat, chemicals, and high pressures, making it a trusted choice among plumbers, engineers, and maintenance professionals.
