Description
Fill a watering can
A plain-spout lever tap for drawing water straight from your water butt into a can or bucket.
The blue lever controls the flow; the smooth downward outlet keeps the connection simple.
½-inch BSP inlet. Standard or Extended tank adapter.
A spout, not a hose fitting
This kit is useful when you want to fill a watering can or bucket directly, with no hose attached. Set the container beneath the spout and operate the blue lever to draw water.
The outlet is plain and unthreaded. It has neither a hose barb nor a male click-on nipple, so a garden-hose quick connector does not attach to it. If your plan is to feed a hose or irrigation line, choose a tap with a suitable outlet connection instead.
The tap body is nickel-plated zinc, with a silver finish and blue lever. The black plastic adapter, back nut and two washers provide the tank-mounting parts. The Standard version is shown here.
Leave room beneath the tap
The Standard adapter is the shorter fitting. Extended moves the tap further from the tank wall, which can help where a curved wall or recessed mounting point would otherwise leave the spout awkward to reach.
The Extended connector is 50mm overall, with about 40mm usable projection. This is the plastic connector’s measurement, not the complete adapter-and-tap length.
Both versions use a ½-inch BSP male/female adapter and the same ½-inch BSP male-inlet tap. Reach changes; the inlet size and plain-spout function stay the same. Check the room for your chosen container as well as the lever movement.
Check the mounting point
Allow space for the tank fitting, lever and container.
Match the connection
Confirm the size and gender of an existing tank outlet. For a new opening, check the tank wall is suitable and the washers can seat correctly. Nominal ½-inch BSP is a thread designation, not the required drill-bit diameter.
Reach the back nut
Leave access inside the tank for the supplied back nut and washer. One kit contains one selected adapter, one tap, one nut and two washers. PTFE tape and any tools needed for your installation are separate.
Test before use
Check the mounting seal and the tap-to-adapter joint with water after fitting. Position the receiving container securely beneath the spout and attend it while filling. Flow depends on the water level and supply available in the butt.
Questions about this plain-spout tap
Can I connect a garden hose to this tap?
This tap is designed for standalone dispensing. Its smooth outlet has no external thread, hose barb or click-on nipple, so it does not provide the usual connection for a garden hose or irrigation line. Choose it for filling a can or bucket directly; choose a different outlet style if you need a hose connection.
What changes between Standard and Extended?
The tank adapter’s reach changes. Standard uses the shorter connector; Extended uses a connector measuring 50mm overall with about 40mm usable projection. Both have ½-inch BSP male/female threads and are paired with the same ½-inch BSP male-inlet, plain-spout lever tap. Check clearance for the lever and the container beneath it.
Is the tap brass or zinc?
The tap body is nickel-plated zinc, with a silver finish and a blue lever. The tank adapter is black plastic. Each kit contains one adapter in the chosen style, one tap, one back nut and two washers. The Standard and Extended options differ in connector reach, rather than in the tap body material.
Do the nut and washers come with both options?
Yes. Both Standard and Extended kits include one back nut and two washers with the selected tank connector and tap. You receive one adapter style per kit, not both. PTFE tape and installation tools are separate. Check tank-wall suitability, washer seating and access to the nut, then test the completed mounting and threaded joint with water.

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.
