Description
A direct connection for your hose
A nickel-plated brass bibtap with a ribbed hose tail, paired with a black plastic tank adapter.
Turn the metal T-bar handle to control the water, with a compatible flexible hose fitted directly over the tail.
Choose ½-inch or ¾-inch BSP, with Standard or Extended reach. One selected kit supplied.
Choose the hose by its inside diameter
The ½-inch kit has a nominal ½-inch / 13mm hose tail. The ¾-inch kit has a nominal ¾-inch / 19mm hose tail. These hose sizes describe the internal diameter of the compatible hose, not its outside diameter.
A suitable flexible hose pushes over the ribbed tail. This is a barbed connection rather than a male click-on nipple, so a female quick connector does not snap directly onto the tail. Check the hose’s fit and secure it as required for the hose and application.
The ½-inch Standard kit is shown here. Hose and hose clips are separate. Give the hose a gentle bend and support it so its weight or movement does not pull on the tap.
Match the tank. Leave room for the hose.
Both ½-inch BSP selections use a ½-inch male/female tank adapter and a ½-inch BSP male-inlet tap. Both ¾-inch BSP selections use a ¾-inch male/female tank adapter and a ¾-inch BSP male-inlet tap. Standard and Extended change the adapter’s reach, not these pairings.
The Extended connector measures 50mm overall, with about 40mm usable projection. The ¾-inch Extended kit is pictured here. These measurements apply to the connector, not the length of the whole tap assembly.
Choose the reach that clears your tank’s shape. Leave space to turn the T-bar handle and route the hose below the tail without a tight bend. BSP is a nominal thread size, so do not use it as a drill-hole measurement.
Before you fit the kit
Check the mounting surface and make each connection accessible.
Check the tank outlet
Match an existing thread by size and gender. For a new opening, confirm the wall is suitable, the washers can seat properly and the back nut can be reached inside the tank. Avoid putting strain on the plastic adapter while fitting the metal tap.
Check the contents
Your selected kit includes one tank adapter, one nickel-plated brass tap with barbed hose-tail fitting, one back nut and two washers. The adapter is either Standard or Extended, as selected. PTFE tape, hose, hose clips and installation tools are separate.
Test with water
After fitting, test the mounting seal, threaded joints and hose connection with water, then check the handle operation. Water-butt flow depends on the water level and connected hose. The tap controls that supply; it does not add pressure.
Questions about the barbed tap kit
Which hose size fits each option?
The ½-inch kit has a nominal ½-inch / 13mm hose tail; the ¾-inch kit has a nominal ¾-inch / 19mm hose tail. These dimensions refer to hose internal diameter. Choose compatible flexible hose and check its actual fit over the tail. Hose, clips and tools are separate; support the hose so it does not pull on the tap or tank mounting.
Can I click a garden-hose connector straight onto this tap?
No. The supplied outlet is a ribbed hose tail for a direct push-on connection with suitable flexible hose. It is not a male click-on garden-hose nipple. A female quick connector will not snap directly onto the barbs. If you need a click-on setup, choose the appropriate tap or a separately verified compatible conversion rather than assuming the two outlet types are interchangeable.
What does the Extended option change?
It changes the reach of the plastic tank adapter. The Extended connector is 50mm overall with about 40mm usable projection, bringing the tap further from the wall than the Standard connector. It retains the BSP pairing and nominal hose-tail size for your selected ½-inch or ¾-inch kit. Check handle clearance and the hose bend when deciding which reach to use.
Is the whole kit made from brass?
No. The tap body and barbed hose-tail fitting are nickel-plated brass, giving them a silver finish. The tank adapter is black plastic and comes with a back nut and two washers. The metal T-bar handle operates the tap. Install the assembly with care so tightening or the weight of a connected hose does not put unnecessary strain on the plastic mounting.

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.
