This kit includes:

• 1 × 1/2" BSP Water Butt Extension (EXTENSION12BSPM-F)
  
• 1 × Nut (BUTT12BSPM-NUT)

The water butt extension is a functional component that improves accessibility to your water supply. With a BSP male thread on one end and a BSP female thread on the other, it provides a 50mm outward extension, allowing for easier connection of watering cans or simple taps. It’s a practical addition to any rainwater harvesting system.

This connector fits 1/2" BSP threads and is compatible with 21mm holes. It can be installed directly into existing threaded outlets or added to plain barrels by drilling a new hole using the supplied hole saw. Once in place, it offers a firm, user-friendly interface for water extraction.

The included nut and washer set secures the extension in place, ensuring stability and leak protection. This combination is simple to mount and remove, making it ideal for both temporary and permanent setups. Each part is built for durability, withstanding weather and pressure.

The washers help distribute tension during installation, preventing cracks or deformation. They also help create a tight seal, reducing the chance of leaks and ensuring water flows only where intended. This sealing solution adds reliability to any outdoor water system.

The simple lever tap is a cost-effective, no-nonsense solution for managing water flow. It features a zinc-nickel plated body for durability and corrosion resistance. The lever mechanism allows for quick and easy operation, enabling precise water control for everyday garden use.

Equipped with a BSP male inlet thread, this standalone tap is designed for direct use with the included extension. It has a plain outlet with no additional threading or connectors, which means it is not compatible with hose attachments or irrigation systems. This tap is best suited for basic filling tasks or manual watering.

Thanks to its weather-resistant construction, the tap remains functional and intact even in harsh outdoor conditions. It’s a reliable option for anyone looking for a straightforward water dispensing solution that doesn’t compromise on quality.

The 21mm HSS Hole Saw Cutter provides precision cutting through plastic, wood, and light metals. Built from high-speed steel, it offers excellent heat resistance and long-term durability. Sharp teeth ensure a smooth drilling experience with minimal effort, making it suitable for both professional installers and DIY use.

This cutter is ideal for creating 1/2" BSP thread holes – essential in water container installations and plumbing projects. Its sturdy build helps reduce vibration, while the design makes it compatible with most power drills. This cutter ensures accurate, clean results every time.

Please note: PTFE Tape is not included and must be purchased separately.
