This kit includes:
- 1 x Water Butt Connector ½” BSP Male–Female (BUTT12BSPM-F)
- 1 x Nickel-Plated Standard Garden Tap
- 1 x 21mm HSS Hole Saw Cutter Drill Bit
The ½” BSPM–F water butt connector is a dependable and convenient solution for connecting rainwater tanks. If your container already features a female thread, this connector can be screwed in directly, offering quick and effortless installation. It’s an ideal upgrade for existing systems, allowing a secure fit with minimal adjustments.
For containers without a pre-threaded hole, the connector can also be mounted directly to the tank wall. Simply drill a 21mm hole in your chosen spot, unscrew the back nut and remove one washer, then insert the connector through the opening. Reattach the washer and nut from inside the tank to form a tight seal with washers positioned on both sides, creating a leak-proof and stable connection.
Manufactured from tough, weather-resistant plastic, this connector is built to endure outdoor elements and prolonged exposure to water pressure. Its reliable construction and easy setup make it suitable for both DIY users and professionals looking to establish or upgrade a water collection system.
The standard garden tap included in this kit is a straightforward and functional water outlet solution. Equipped with a ½” BSP male threaded inlet, it connects securely to compatible plumbing fittings for a firm, leak-resistant setup. The smooth-turn lever handle provides intuitive on/off operation, allowing easy control over water output, whether for general outdoor use or container drainage.
This basic version features a plain spout with no external threading or hose connector, making it ideal for standalone applications where direct water access is needed without additional attachments. Crafted from zinc with a corrosion-resistant nickel-plated finish, the tap is designed for durability and long-term performance outdoors, even in challenging conditions.
Included is a 21mm HSS (High-Speed Steel) Hole Saw Cutter Drill Bit, designed to deliver precise results through a range of materials such as plastic, wood, and metal. Its sharp teeth ensure clean, effortless cuts, and the robust steel construction provides heat resistance and longevity in tough working conditions.
This drill bit is particularly suited to cutting holes for ½” BSP fittings, making it ideal for use in water butt installations or other plumbing projects. Its ergonomic design minimises vibrations and ensures a stable drilling process when used with standard power tools, making it a reliable and efficient tool for DIY or trade use.
Please note: PTFE Tape is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately.
