Description
A click-on connection at your water butt
A nickel-plated brass bibtap with a male quick-connect outlet, paired with a black plastic tank adapter.
Use the metal T-bar screw handle to control the supply and a compatible female hose-end connector to attach your hose.
½-inch or ¾-inch tank-side BSP. Standard or Extended reach. Hose and hose-end connector sold separately.
The hose needs its own connector
The outlet is a male garden-hose click-on nipple. A compatible female quick connector fitted to your hose end attaches to it, allowing the hose to be removed without unscrewing the tank mounting.
Choose the hose-end connector for your hose size as well as the click-on connection. A bare hose does not push directly onto this nipple: it differs from a barbed hose tail. The female connector and hose are separate; the kit supplies the tap and its male outlet fitting.
The ½-inch Standard kit is pictured here. Leave room below the outlet for the connector and hose bend, and close the tap before disconnecting the hose.
Choose by the tank-side thread
Both ½-inch BSP selections use a ½-inch male/female adapter and a tap with a ½-inch BSP male inlet. Standard and Extended change the connector’s reach.
The ¾-inch Standard kit uses a ¾-inch male to ½-inch female reducing adapter with a ½-inch tap. The ¾-inch Extended kit pictured here uses a ¾-inch male/female extension and a ¾-inch BSP male-inlet tap. The option name describes the tank-side connection.
The Extended connector measures 50mm overall with about 40mm usable projection. Those dimensions apply to the plastic connector, not the complete tap assembly. Check space for the handle, hose-end connector and hose route before choosing the reach.
Set up the mounting and hose together
Check the thread, washer seating and clearance before fitting.
Match the tank outlet
Confirm the size and gender of any existing tank thread. If making a new opening, check wall suitability, a sound surface for the washers and access to fit the back nut. Nominal BSP size is not a drill-hole diameter.
Support the connection
Allow room for the female hose-end connector and a gentle hose bend below the outlet. Support the hose so its weight or movement does not strain the plastic adapter. Leave the T-bar handle accessible above the tap.
Test with water
After fitting, test the tank seal, threaded joints and hose coupling with water. Your selected kit includes one adapter, one tap with male outlet fitting, a back nut and two washers. PTFE tape, hoses, female hose-end connectors and tools are separate.
Questions about the quick-connect kit
Does the kit include a female hose-end connector?
No. It includes the male click-on outlet fitting on the tap. Your hose needs its own compatible female garden-hose quick connector, chosen for the hose size and the click-on connection. That connector and the hose are separate. A bare hose does not attach directly to the male nipple as it would to a suitable barbed tail.
Why does the ¾-inch Standard option use a ½-inch tap?
The Standard adapter reduces from ¾-inch BSP male on the tank side to ½-inch BSP female on the tap side, accepting a ½-inch BSP male-inlet tap. The ¾-inch Extended kit instead has a ¾-inch male/female extension with a ¾-inch tap. The option describes the tank-side connection; check the full pairing rather than assuming every part has the same thread size.
How far does the Extended connector project?
The Extended connector measures 50mm overall with about 40mm usable projection. These are dimensions of the plastic connector, not the length of the complete tap and outlet. It moves the tap further from the tank wall than the Standard fitting. Leave space for the T-bar handle, hose-end connector and hose bend, with the hose supported independently.
Will the tap make water-butt flow stronger?
No. The tap controls the water supply and provides a convenient hose connection; it does not increase pressure. Flow depends on the water level, hose route and connected equipment. Check whether any sprinkler, nozzle or other watering device is suitable for your available supply rather than assuming it will work like a mains-fed garden tap.

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.
