Plastic Water Butt Tap
The Plain PP Tap for Butts Drums and Pails
What This Product Is
A manual polypropylene tap in 3/4 inch with an NBR seal, for water butts, drums, containers and pails that have a 3/4 inch BSP thread hole. This is the plain outlet version, without a hose connector, for drawing into a watering can or bucket.
Key Benefits
- A plain outlet suits filling watering cans and buckets directly
- Polypropylene will not corrode where the tap sits exposed to weather
- The NBR seal holds the outlet dry between draws
- The 3/4 inch BSP thread is the size already used on butts, drums and pails
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Water stored in a butt or drum is difficult to get at without a fitted tap
- Metal taps corrode where they sit exposed on outdoor containers
- Cheap taps weep continuously and drain a butt between uses
Application Scenarios
- Water butt and rainwater tank manufacturers fitting taps at assembly
- Garden retailers supplying replacement taps for existing butts
- Yards and workshops drawing washdown water from drums and pails

Comparison With Other Products
This is the plain version of the water butt tap. The hose connector version in the same 3/4 inch PP body adds a threaded hose take-off, which is what you want if the water is being run through a hose instead of caught in a can.
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.
