Description
Two watering connections
A black plastic bibtap and two-way splitter for a water butt, with orange dials to control the supply and each hose outlet.
Keep two compatible hose connections ready, then use either branch as needed.
Choose the tank-side BSP size and Standard or Extended adapter.
One supply, two branches
The large orange dial on the tap controls the supply from the tank. Below it, the attached splitter has two independently controlled outlets, each with its own smaller orange dial.
Fit a compatible female garden-hose quick connector to either male click-on outlet. Those hose-end connectors are separate from this kit: the splitter does not accept a bare hose pushed directly over the nipple.
The ½-inch Standard version is shown here. The splitter is a separate component fitted to the tap outlet, so the kit provides a tap and splitter rather than an integrated double-outlet tap body.
Choose the tank connection
For ½-inch BSP, both Standard and Extended pair a ½-inch male/female tank connector with a ½-inch BSP male-inlet tap.
The ¾-inch Standard kit uses a ¾-inch male to ½-inch female reducing adapter and a ½-inch tap. The ¾-inch Extended kit pictured here instead has a ¾-inch male/female extension and a ¾-inch tap inlet. The option name describes the tank-side thread.
Extended connectors are 50mm overall, with about 40mm usable projection. Choose the reach that clears your tank wall and leaves space for the splitter below. These dimensions describe the connector, not the complete tap assembly.
Plan the connection
Check the tank, hose ends and available flow before fitting.
Match the mounting point
Check the size and gender of any existing tank thread. For a new opening, confirm wall suitability, washer seating and access for the back nut. Nominal BSP size is not the drill diameter. Each selected kit includes one nut and two washers.
Leave room below
The splitter and hose connectors hang below the tap. Allow room for both dials to turn and for hoses to curve without kinking. Support the lines so their weight does not pull against the tank fitting, then check the mounting seal and joints with water.
Use the available supply
Opening two outlets shares the water available from the butt. A splitter adds connections, not pressure; flow depends on the water level and connected equipment. Check what your chosen watering accessories need, especially if they normally use a mains tap.
Questions about this tap and splitter kit
Can I turn each hose outlet off separately?
Yes. Each splitter branch has its own orange control dial, so you can close one outlet while using the other. The larger dial on top of the bibtap controls the supply to the whole splitter. Both outlets draw from the same water butt, so using them together shares the available flow rather than increasing pressure.
What does the ¾-inch BSP option refer to?
It refers to the tank-side male thread on the adapter. In the Standard kit, the adapter reduces from ¾-inch BSP male to ½-inch BSP female and accepts a ½-inch tap. In the Extended kit, the connector is ¾-inch BSP male/female and accepts a ¾-inch tap. Both kits include the two-way click-on splitter.
Do I need connectors on the hose ends?
Yes, each splitter outlet is a male click-on nipple for a compatible female garden-hose quick connector. The kit includes the splitter, but not hoses or their hose-end connectors. A bare hose does not attach directly as it would to a ribbed hosetail. Choose hose-end connectors that suit both your hose and the click-on outlets.
What is included, and how long is the Extended adapter?
You receive one selected tank adapter, one black/orange screw-dial tap, one two-way splitter, one back nut and two washers. PTFE tape, hoses and hose-end connectors are separate. The Extended connector measures 50mm overall with about 40mm usable projection; this is the connector measurement, not the length of the complete tap and splitter.

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.
