The water butt extension connector is a flexible accessory designed to improve the functionality of your water butt or rain barrel. It features a BSP male thread on one end and a BSP female thread on the other, offering a practical 50mm outward extension. This extension makes accessing the water within your barrel easier, whether for filling watering cans or attaching hoses, enhancing the usability of your rainwater harvesting system.

The connector has a ½" BSP thread size fitting a 21mm hole. Installation is simple: it can be securely screwed into existing female threads on your container, making it ideal if your water butt already has pre-installed threads. If your barrel lacks a pre-existing thread, you can still fit the connector by drilling a hole at the desired location. Once installed, it extends outward by 50mm, providing ample space for hose attachment or filling containers.

The included back nut and washers ensure the water butt extension is firmly fixed to your container. The back nut offers a strong lock, keeping the fitting secure even under pressure. This combination is straightforward to install and remove, suitable for both temporary and permanent setups. These durable components provide long-lasting performance, even in challenging outdoor environments.

The washers play an important role in evenly distributing the tightening pressure across the surface, which helps prevent damage or deformation during installation. They also form a reliable seal that minimises leaks, ensuring a watertight connection—vital for maintaining system integrity and avoiding water wastage.

The Garden Bib Tap with a ½" BSP male inlet is an essential component for effective outdoor water management. Made from high-quality brass and finished with nickel plating, this tap offers superior durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for withstanding harsh outdoor conditions. Its robust construction guarantees long-term reliability, ideal for gardeners and homeowners seeking a dependable water tap solution.

A key feature of this garden tap is its barbed outlet, designed to grip the inside of a hose securely. The barbs ensure a tight, leak-free connection that prevents the hose from slipping off, helping maintain consistent water flow. This secure attachment is beneficial for a variety of watering tasks such as irrigating plants, washing vehicles, or filling pools, enhancing both convenience and efficiency.

The tap also features a turn-handle on/off operation, providing easy and precise control over water flow. The ½" BSP male threaded inlet ensures compatibility with the water butt fitting, delivering versatile and easy installation. This combination of thoughtful design and practical features makes the Garden Bib Tap a valuable addition to any garden or outdoor water system.
