The water butt extension connector is a versatile accessory designed to improve your water butt or rain barrel's usability. It features a BSP male thread on one side and a BSP female thread on the other, offering a practical 50mm extension that makes filling watering cans or attaching hoses much easier.

With a ¾" BSP thread suitable for a 26mm hole, this connector can be quickly screwed into pre-existing female threads on your container. If your barrel lacks factory-fitted threads, you can install it by drilling a hole at the desired position.

Once fitted, the extension projects 50mm outward, providing ample room for hose attachments or container filling. This extension makes accessing the water stored in your barrel more convenient, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your rainwater harvesting system.

The kit includes a back nut and washers that secure the extension firmly to your water butt. The back nut ensures a strong lock, keeping the fitting securely in place even under pressure. Both components are straightforward to install and remove, suitable for temporary or permanent setups. Their durable construction guarantees long-lasting performance, even in demanding environments.

The washers play a vital role by distributing the tightening load evenly across the surface, helping to prevent damage or distortion during installation. They also create an effective seal that minimises leaks, ensuring a watertight connection — essential for fluid systems to maintain integrity and avoid wastage.

The included In-Line Soft Touch Valve ¾" BSPM is a robust and reliable flow control device, designed for precise and easy management of water or other fluids. It features ¾” BSP male threaded inlet and outlet connections, making it compatible with many plumbing setups. Crafted from strong, wear-resistant plastic, this valve is lightweight — offering easier installation and handling compared to metal alternatives.

A standout feature of this valve is its smooth, soft-touch on/off mechanism, which allows effortless operation with a comfortable grip and accurate flow control. This user-friendly design suits both residential and commercial applications, especially those requiring frequent flow adjustments. The valve design ensures a secure seal when closed, minimising leaks and maintaining your system's integrity.

Additionally, the valve is built for easy maintenance, with durable plastic construction that resists corrosion and build-up, reducing the need for frequent cleaning or replacement. Altogether, it offers an excellent balance of durability, convenience, and reliability.

The brass adaptor fitting is an essential part for connecting a hose to a pipeline. One end features a hose barb, designed for 13mm hoses, while the other has a ¾” BSP thread, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, from domestic garden hoses to industrial fluid transfer. The hose barb ensures a tight grip that prevents slippage and guarantees a secure seal.

Made from robust brass, this adaptor benefits from excellent corrosion resistance, vital for long-term durability in challenging environments. Brass combines strength with malleability, allowing the fitting to withstand high pressure and stress without cracking or damage, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

Additionally, brass fittings offer superior thermal conductivity and tolerate a wide range of temperatures, enhancing their versatility. They are also straightforward to fit and tighten, ensuring a secure and precise connection with minimal effort. These qualities make the brass adaptor a practical, strong, and reliable choice for connecting hoses to pipelines across many applications.
