  • Lever tap with a male quick-connect outlet: attach a hose fitted with a matching female quick connector, then use the red lever to control the water. The projecting nipple is a click-in connection, not a hose barb; the hose and its receiving connector are separate.
  • Choose by the adapter’s tank-side thread: the ¾-inch BSP option pairs a ¾-inch male / ½-inch female brass adapter with a ½-inch male-inlet tap. The 1-inch BSP option pairs a 1-inch male / ¾-inch female adapter with a ¾-inch male-inlet tap. Both sizes are shown in the description below.
  • Brass adapter, nickel-plated zinc tap: the mounting adapter has a brass retaining back nut and two washers; the silver-finish tap has a red lever and downward-facing quick-connect outlet. These are different materials, rather than an all-brass tap assembly.
  • One selected kit with PTFE tape: each size includes one brass tank adapter, one matching lever tap with its male quick-connect outlet and one PTFE tape roll. You receive the kit size selected above; a water butt, hose, mating connector and drilling tools are not included.
  • Check the mounting position and hose clearance: match an existing outlet’s actual BSP thread or check wall thickness, washer seating and nut access for a new opening. Leave space to move the lever and release the hose connector. Support the hose and test the completed joints with water.

¾-inch tank thread, ½-inch tap inlet

Choose ¾-inch BSP for a brass adapter with a ¾-inch BSP male external thread and ½-inch BSP female internal thread. The supplied tap has a matching ½-inch BSP male inlet.

Kit WB12-BRASS-KIT-004+ includes the adapter with its back nut and two washers, one nickel-plated zinc lever tap with a male quick-connect outlet, and one PTFE tape roll.

The option name describes the adapter’s external tank-side thread. It does not describe the hose bore or mean that the tap inlet is also ¾ inch.

1-inch tank thread, ¾-inch tap inlet

Choose 1-inch BSP for a brass adapter with a 1-inch BSP male external thread and ¾-inch BSP female internal thread. Its tap has a matching ¾-inch BSP male inlet.

Kit WB34-BRASS-KIT-004+ includes the larger adapter with its back nut and two washers, one nickel-plated zinc lever tap with a male quick-connect outlet, and one PTFE tape roll.

Check the size and gender of an existing tank outlet before ordering. For a new opening, check the actual adapter and mounting area before choosing a drilling size: BSP names are nominal thread designations.

Plan the tank connection and hose connection

Each end of the kit needs a different compatibility check.

At the tank

Check the thread or mounting area, wall thickness, washer seating and access to the back nut. The adapter must suit the tank; do not select it by the hose size.

At the hose

The tap’s projecting male nipple needs a matching female quick connector on the hose. Leave room to attach and release it, and support the hose so it does not pull on the fitting.

Before use

Check the tank-wall seal and threaded joint with water after assembly and again when the tank is filled. No pressure rating or drinking-water approval is specified for this complete kit.

Questions about the quick-connect tap kits

Which adapter size should I order?

Match the adapter’s external thread to the tank connection. The ¾-inch BSP option has a ¾-inch male / ½-inch female adapter and a ½-inch male-inlet tap. The 1-inch BSP option has a 1-inch male / ¾-inch female adapter and a ¾-inch male-inlet tap. For a new mounting point, check the actual fitting and tank wall before drilling.

Can I push a bare hose straight onto the outlet?

No. This tap ends in a male quick-connect nipple, rather than a hose barb. The hose needs a matching female quick connector that clicks onto that nipple. Check the connector you already have or arrange a suitable matching one separately; neither a hose nor its receiving connector is supplied with the kit.

Is the whole kit made from brass?

No. The tank adapter and its retaining nut are brass. The silver-finish lever tap is nickel-plated zinc, with a red lever and male quick-connect outlet. Both kit sizes include two mounting washers and one PTFE tape roll. Choose between the sizes by the tank-side adapter thread, not by the finish.

Do both sizes come in one order?

You receive one kit in the size selected above, not both sizes. Each contains one brass adapter with back nut and two washers, one matching lever tap with its male quick-connect outlet, and one PTFE tape roll. A tank, hose, mating female connector, drilling tools and any extra fittings 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.
