• 1 x Nut (BUTT12BSPM-NUT)

The water butt extension connector is a versatile accessory designed to enhance the functionality of your water butt or rain barrel. Featuring a BSP male thread on one end and a BSP female thread on the other, this connector provides a convenient 50mm outwards extension. This extension allows for easier access to the water stored in your barrel, making it easier to fill watering cans or attach a hose for example. This enhances the overall usability of your rainwater harvesting system. 

The device has a 1/2" BSP thread size which fits a 21mm hole. For installation, the connector can be effortlessly screwed into existing female threads on your container. This is an ideal solution if your water butt already has pre-installed threads. However, if your barrel lacks a pre-existing thread, the connector can still be installed by creating a hole in the desired location. Once installed, the connector extends outward by 50mm, providing ample space for attaching hoses or filling containers. 

The Back Nut and Washers in this kit are used to secure the water butt extension to a water butt. The back nut provides a secure lock, ensuring that the fitting remains in place even under pressure. The Back Nut and Washers combination is easy to install and remove, making it a practical choice for both temporary and permanent setups. The robust construction of these components ensures durability and longevity, even in demanding environments.

The washers in this set play a crucial role in distributing the load evenly across the surface, which helps in preventing any potential damage or deformation that might occur during the tightening process. Additionally, the washer provides an effective seal, minimizing the risk of leaks and ensuring a watertight connection. This feature is particularly important in applications involving fluids, as it helps maintain the integrity of the system and prevents wastage.

The garden lever tap is a robust and reliable tool designed to facilitate efficient water management in your garden. Constructed from high-quality nickel-plated brass, this tap combines exceptional strength and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance in various outdoor conditions. The nickel plating adds a layer of protection against corrosion.
Featuring a ½” BSP male inlet thread, this garden lever tap is easy to install into an existing set up with matching thread size. The ½” hose barb outlet is specifically designed to secure the hose firmly, thanks to its precision-engineered barbs. These barbs grip the inside of the hose tightly, creating a secure connection that effectively prevents leaks and accidental disconnections. This ensures a consistent water flow, allowing for smooth and uninterrupted garden watering tasks.

The lever on/off control offers simple and convenient operation, enabling you to easily regulate water flow with a single movement. This user-friendly design enhances the tap's practicality, making it an essential tool for gardeners seeking reliability and ease of use. Whether you are watering plants, filling up a watering can, or cleaning outdoor spaces, the garden lever tap provides a dependable solution for all your garden watering needs.
The inclusion of a lock feature enables you to block the tap against third party interference by attaching a padlock. This provides you with peace of mind and added security giving you full control over tap usage.
