  • Two hose outlets from one tap: the separate two-way splitter has two male quick-connect nipples, each with its own valve. Connect hoses fitted with matching female quick connectors and select either branch or both. The main bib tap controls the supply to the splitter; hoses and their connectors are separate.
  • Choose the tank-side adapter size: the ¾-inch BSP option includes a ¾-inch male / ½-inch female brass adapter with a ½-inch male-inlet tap. The 1-inch BSP option includes a 1-inch male / ¾-inch female adapter with a ¾-inch male-inlet tap. These are tank and tap thread sizes, not hose diameters.
  • Black & Orange or Grey & White: choose the colour and adapter size above. Each combination supplies one plastic bib tap with a matching-colour two-way splitter and a brass tank adapter. The splitter is a separate fitting attached beneath the tap, rather than an integral part of its body.
  • One selected kit with PTFE tape: includes one brass adapter with a retaining back nut and two washers, one plastic tap, one two-way valved splitter and one PTFE tape roll. You receive the selected colour and size combination, not all four kits. Tank, hoses and drilling tools are not included.
  • Leave room for both hose connections: check the tank thread or mounting area, nut access and washer seating before fitting. Allow clearance for the main tap control, both branch valves and connector releases. Support the hoses and test the completed assembly with water before use.

The ¾-inch adapter option

The brass adapter has a ¾-inch BSP male external thread and ½-inch BSP female internal thread. It is paired with a tap that has a ½-inch BSP male inlet.

Shown here is the Black & Orange kit, SKU WB12-BRASS-KIT-009+. The same adapter-size option is also available in Grey & White, SKU WB12-BRASS-KIT-010+.

Both include the adapter with its nut and two washers, the plastic bib tap, a separate two-way valved splitter and one PTFE roll. The adapter size refers to the tank-side thread.

The 1-inch adapter option

This brass adapter has a 1-inch BSP male external thread and ¾-inch BSP female internal thread. The supplied tap has a matching ¾-inch BSP male inlet.

The Grey & White version shown is SKU WB34-BRASS-KIT-010+. Select Black & Orange for SKU WB34-BRASS-KIT-009+.

Each kit supplies one two-way splitter with independently valved male quick-connect outlets. Both hose branches share the water available from the same tank; the splitter does not increase the supply pressure.

Check the mounting point and both branches

Make room for the controls, connector releases and the weight of the hoses.

Match the tank thread

Check the actual thread and gender of an existing outlet. For a new opening, check the adapter, wall thickness, washer seating and nut access first. BSP thread names are not drilling diameters.

Connect the hoses

Each male outlet nipple needs a matching female quick connector on the hose. Leave room to release both connectors and turn the branch valves. Support the hoses so they do not pull on the splitter.

Test the controls

The main tap must be open to supply the splitter. Check each branch valve, mounting seal and threaded connection with water after fitting. No pressure rating is specified for the complete assembled kit.

Questions about the tap and splitter kits

Can I turn each hose on and off separately?

Yes. The splitter has an individual valve for each of its two outlets. The bib tap provides a separate main control upstream, so it must be open for either branch to receive water. Both branches share the supply available from the same tank; the splitter does not create additional water pressure.

Which adapter size do I need?

Match the adapter’s external male thread to the tank connection. The ¾-inch BSP option uses a ¾-inch male / ½-inch female adapter and ½-inch male-inlet tap. The 1-inch BSP option uses a 1-inch male / ¾-inch female adapter and ¾-inch male-inlet tap. Both sizes are available in either colour.

Do bare hoses push straight onto the splitter?

No. The splitter outlets are male quick-connect nipples, rather than hose barbs. Each hose needs a matching female receiving connector. Check the connector system on your hoses before ordering; hoses and their receiving connectors are not supplied in these kits.

Is the splitter built into the tap?

No. The kit includes a plastic bib tap and a separate two-way splitter fitted beneath the spout. You also receive the brass tank adapter with its nut and two washers, plus one PTFE roll. Choose one colour and adapter size above; a tank, hoses, matching hose connectors and drilling tools are separate.

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.
