Plastic Water Butt Tap with Hose Connector
A Weatherproof Tap That Takes a Hose Straight Off the Butt
What This Product Is
A manual PP tap in 3/4 inch BSP with an NBR seal, intended for water butts, drums, containers and pails that have a 3/4 inch threaded hole. The hose connector lets the outlet feed a hose directly, so water can be run where it is needed instead of carried in a can.
Key Benefits
- The hose connector turns a static store into a feed point for a hose run
- Polypropylene resists weathering and corrosion, so the tap survives outdoor mounting
- The NBR seal keeps the joint dry between uses rather than dripping
- A 3/4 inch BSP thread fits the hole size already used on most butts and drums
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Water butts without a tap have to be dipped or siphoned, which is slow and messy
- Plastic taps left outdoors go brittle and start weeping at the seal
- A plain spout outlet cannot be connected to a hose, so every draw-off needs a container
Application Scenarios
- Garden and rainwater harvesting brands supplying water butts to retail
- Growers and nurseries feeding irrigation lines from stored water
- Site and workshop users drawing washdown water from drums and pails

Comparison With Other Products
This tap is aimed at outdoor water storage and adds a hose connector, while the 3/4 inch drum faucet in PE is aimed at dispensing into containers from drums and barrels on a filling floor. Both use the same 3/4 inch BSP thread, so a container can take either.
Customisation
Sizes, colours and materials can be adapted where the product allows it, and branding can be applied to closures and cap seals. Confirm the change you need when you send the enquiry.
