Description
Link your water butts with 50mm hose
Bring two suitable water butts together with 50mm corrugated PVC hose and a straight fitting for each tank. This kit uses male 2-inch BSP tank threads, with barbed ends for the supplied hose.
Choose the hose length for your layout: 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m or 5m. Every option includes the same two fittings, two retaining nuts and two sealing washers.
One kit supplied. Water butts, hose clips and drilling tools are not included.
Choose the route before the length
Allow the hose to follow a relaxed path between the mounting points.
Check both tank walls
Look for suitable mounting surfaces and enough access inside each tank to fit the retaining nut. Check wall thickness and the required opening against the actual connector before cutting; 2-inch BSP does not specify the drilling diameter.
Measure around bends
Follow the route the hose will take, allowing for bends, its connection to each hosetail and slack. Select one of the five offered lengths without relying only on the straight-line distance between the tanks.
Keep weight off the fittings
Support the hose along its route and avoid a sharp bend beside either connector. Check the hose fit and choose any clips for the actual assembly, then test the tank seals and hose joints with water.
Know the parts you are connecting
At the tank: each straight fitting has a male 2-inch BSP thread, a retaining nut and one sealing washer. Plan the mounting position with the actual fitting in hand, including access for the nut.
At the hose: the other end is a barbed hosetail for the kit's nominal 50mm hose. The hose is flexible PVC with a ribbed outer wall. Its smooth-bore description refers to smoothed internal ridges, rather than a completely flat inside surface.
The photo shows the kit parts separately. You receive one hose length according to your selection and two fittings. Clips and tools are separate; check the fit and test the completed link before leaving it in service.
Before you order
Is this supplied with 50mm or 50.8mm hose?
The hose component is nominal 50mm, commonly described as 2-inch. The fittings use a separate 2-inch BSP thread designation. Use the actual fitting and hose dimensions for installation checks rather than treating an inch conversion as a measured diameter.
Do longer options come with different fittings?
No. All five lengths use two straight 2-inch BSP tank fittings with barbed hose ends, two nuts and two washers. The selected option changes the hose length: 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m or 5m.
Are clips and tank-drilling tools included?
No. The supplied parts are the hose, two fittings, two nuts and two washers. Check any securing hardware against your actual hose and fittings, and measure the connector before choosing a drilling tool.
Can I choose this by tank capacity alone?
No. Capacity alone does not establish whether the tank wall, opening and access suit these fittings. Check the mounting points, connection size and hose route for your particular tanks before choosing the kit.

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.
