This kit includes:

• 1 x Water Butt Extension ½” BSP (EXTENSION12BSPM-F)

The water butt extension connector is a versatile accessory designed to improve the functionality of your water butt or rain barrel. It has a BSP male thread on one end and a BSP female thread on the other, providing a convenient 50mm outward extension. This makes accessing the water in your barrel easier, whether filling watering cans or attaching a hose, thereby enhancing the usability of your rainwater harvesting system.

With a ½" BSP thread size suitable for a 21mm hole, the connector can be easily screwed into existing female threads on your container, making it ideal if your water butt already has pre-installed threads. If your barrel has no pre-existing threads, the connector can still be fitted by drilling a hole in the desired position. Once installed, it extends 50mm outward, offering ample space for hose connections or filling containers.

The included back nut and washers securely fasten the water butt extension to your container. The back nut provides a firm lock to keep the fitting in place under pressure. This combination is simple to fit and remove, making it suitable for both temporary and permanent setups. These components are made to be durable and long-lasting, even in demanding outdoor environments.

The washers evenly distribute the tightening load across the surface, helping to prevent any damage or deformation during installation. They also provide an effective seal that minimises the risk of leaks, ensuring a watertight connection—an important feature in fluid applications to maintain system integrity and avoid wastage.

The Garden Lever Tap with a ½" barbed hose outlet offers a strong and dependable solution for watering needs. Made from zinc nickel-plated metal, this tap combines excellent strength and durability to withstand outdoor conditions and exposure. The high-quality plating enhances corrosion resistance and extends its lifespan, making it a reliable choice for gardeners and homeowners alike.

Designed for ease of use, the lever handle allows effortless on/off operation. This intuitive feature enables quick and simple control of water flow, reducing strain compared to traditional taps. Whether a gentle trickle or full flow is required, the lever tap provides precise and efficient regulation to smoothly and effectively handle your gardening tasks.

The barbed hose outlet is designed to ensure a secure, leak-proof connection by firmly gripping the inside of the hose. Installation is straightforward—simply push the hose onto the tap where it locks tightly in place. This secure attachment maintains consistent water pressure and prevents disconnections, making the Garden Lever Tap an essential part of any garden irrigation system.

Please note, this kit does not include PTFE tape. Tape must be purchased separately.
