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 extension makes it easier to access the water stored in your barrel, simplifying tasks like filling watering cans or connecting hoses, thus enhancing the overall usability of your rainwater harvesting system.

The connector features a ½" BSP thread size suitable for a 21mm hole. For installation, it can be smoothly screwed into existing female threads on your container, making it ideal if your water butt already has pre-installed threads. If your barrel lacks these threads, you can still fit the extension by drilling a hole in the desired location. Once installed, the extension offers ample space for connecting hoses or filling containers.

The included back nut and washers secure the water butt extension firmly to your container. The back nut ensures a strong lock, keeping the fitting securely in place under pressure. This combination is easy to fit and remove, suitable for both temporary and permanent installations. Made from durable materials, these components provide long-lasting performance even in demanding outdoor conditions.

The washers play a vital role in distributing the tightening load evenly, preventing damage or deformation during installation. They also create an effective seal that minimises leaks, ensuring a watertight connection—important for maintaining system integrity and avoiding water wastage.

The Double Garden Tap is a sturdy and flexible addition to any outdoor watering setup. Made from high-quality metal with a nickel-plated finish, this tap offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion. Its robust construction guarantees reliable performance for your garden needs.

Equipped with a ½” BSP male threaded inlet, the tap provides a solid and dependable connection to your water source. The lever handles allow smooth and easy on/off control for regulating water flow efficiently. Furthermore, the tap includes click-lock quick connect outlets, offering secure snap-on fittings that minimise leaks and simplify the attachment and removal of hoses and connectors, ideal for frequent use.

This double tap features a second BSP threaded outlet with an independent valve control, providing enhanced flexibility and efficiency. Whether you need to water multiple garden zones or connect additional equipment, the independent valves allow precise management of each water line.
