Description
A simple water-drawing point
A plain-spout garden tap with a blue lever, supplied with a brass tank adapter and PTFE tape.
Position a watering can or container beneath the outlet to draw water from a suitable water butt.
One kit size. No hose connector on the spout.
One size, with matching threads
Kit WB12-BRASS-KIT-006+ pairs a brass adapter with a ¾-inch BSP male external thread and ½-inch BSP female internal thread with a tap that has a ½-inch BSP male inlet.
The adapter comes with a back nut and two washers. The blue-lever tap is nickel-plated zinc, with a plain downward-facing outlet. One PTFE tape roll is included.
This is a single-size kit. Check the tank’s actual thread or mounting area before ordering: the adapter’s external thread and the tap’s inlet are different sizes.
If you want to connect a hose directly, choose a tap with the appropriate hose outlet. This spout is not supplied with a quick-connect nipple, hose barb or external hose thread.
Plan a practical position for the tap
Check the mounting surface and the space beneath the spout before fitting.
At the tank
Check thread size and gender for an existing outlet. For a new opening, check the actual adapter, tank wall thickness, washer seating and nut access first. Do not choose a drill size from the nominal BSP name alone.
Under the spout
Leave enough room to place and remove the container you plan to fill. Check that the lever can move freely and the outlet directs water into the container without the tank or stand getting in the way.
After assembly
Check the tank-wall seal and threaded connection with water before use. Inspect them again when the tank is filled. No kit pressure rating or drinking-water approval is specified; those applications need components with confirmed suitability.
Questions about this plain-spout kit
Can I click a hose connector onto this tap?
No. This is the plain-spout version: there is no quick-connect nipple, hose barb or external hose-connection thread on its outlet. It is intended as a simple water-drawing point over a suitable container. If you need a hose connection, choose a tap with an outlet designed for that connection.
Is the kit ¾ inch or ½ inch?
Both sizes occur at different interfaces. The brass adapter has a ¾-inch BSP male tank-side thread and ½-inch BSP female internal thread. The tap has a matching ½-inch BSP male inlet. These are nominal thread sizes, so check the actual tank connection rather than treating either as a drilling measurement.
What comes with the kit?
You receive one brass tank adapter with a retaining back nut and two washers, one blue-lever nickel-plated zinc tap with a plain spout, and one PTFE tape roll. This listing supplies one kit size. A tank, drilling tools, containers and any additional fittings are not included.
Will it fit any water butt?
Check the tank’s actual connection before ordering. An existing threaded outlet must suit the adapter’s ¾-inch BSP male thread; a new mounting position needs suitable wall thickness, washer seating and nut access. Also leave room to operate the lever and position a container beneath the spout.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
