Take control of your rainwater with the Water Butt Brass Kit 1" BSP, a robust adaptor and flow-control package for garden water butts and other storage containers. Built for durability and straightforward fitting, it lets you adapt from 1" BSP male to 3/4" BSP female, then regulate flow with a soft-touch inline valve. What’s in the kit
- Water Butt Brass 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female outlet
- PTFE tape roll
- MDPE Straight Joiner 20mm to 3/4" BSP
- In-Line Valve 3/4" BSPM (soft-touch)
- 34mm HSS Drill Bit Hole Saw Cutter Key features and how it helps you
- Brass 1" BSP Male to 3/4" BSP Female: a sturdy connector designed for rainwater harvesting setups, offering a reliable transition between pipe sizes in your water storage system.
- In-line Soft Touch Valve: a 3/4" BSPM valve with a smooth turn-on/turn-off action, making precise flow control easier during refills, transfers, or irrigation tasks.
- MDPE 20mm to 3/4" BSP Joiner: enables simple integration of 20mm MDPE piping with the 3/4" BSP outlet, reducing the need for multiple adapters.
- Drill Bit Hole Saw Cutter: included to assist hole creation in containers; 33–34mm guidance is recommended to accommodate the 1" BSP male thread, with washers and a back nut providing a seal when mounted.
- Sealing and installation: PTFE tape is supplied to help seal threaded connections; the kit’s design supports both threaded and direct-fit installations, using the washers and back nut to secure the brass adaptor against leaks. How to install (quick reference)
- For threaded containers: screw the 1" BSP male into the existing female thread and tighten with the back nut, using PTFE tape on threads.
- For non-threaded containers: drill a suitable hole (use the included drill bit), insert the 1" BSP male through the hole, place the remaining washer inside, then tighten the nut to seal.
- Connect MDPE pipe with the 20mm joiner, then route water through the inline valve for controlled output. Designed for DIYers and tradespeople alike, this kit provides a durable, adaptable solution for upgrading rainwater harvesting setups, improving reliability and control without specialised tools beyond the included drill bit.
