The Water Butt Extension Kit 3/4" BSP with In-Line Valve + 20mm MDPE and Drill Bit is a practical upgrade for rainwater barrels, designed for tradespeople and serious gardeners who want easier access to stored water. It adds a 50mm extension to the outlet, simplifying hose connections and filling watering cans without bending. The kit includes robust components for a secure, watertight setup. A 3/4" BSP water butt extension connects to existing female threads (or can be fitted by drilling a new hole if no threads exist). The back nut and washers lock the fitting in place and distribute load to prevent damage, while the in-line valve provides controlled flow for precise watering. The MDPE straight fitting (20mm to 3/4" BSP) supports clean, reliable connections to standard garden hose or irrigation lines. A 27mm HSS drill bit hole saw cutter is supplied to facilitate hole creation where needed. Key benefits:
- 50mm extension to improve reach and accessibility from the ground, making it easier to fill cans or attach a hose.
- 3/4" BSP fittings with a secure back nut and washers for a reliable, watertight seal.
- In-line valve offers controllable flow, aiding conservation and reducing spillages.
- MDPE fitting supports robust, corrosion-resistant connections to 20mm irrigation pipe.
- Drill bit included to enable installation even on barrels without pre-existing threads. Who this is for: home gardeners upgrading rainwater systems, tradespeople fitting or expanding garden irrigation, and DIY enthusiasts seeking a straightforward, durable outlet upgrade for water butts. In the box you’ll find everything you need for a straightforward install: extension, nut, washers, in-line valve, MDPE fitting and a 27mm hole saw. With its durable plastics and simple installation, this kit helps you make the most of your rainwater harvesting setup, offering practical, measurable improvements in daily garden watering tasks.
