FAQs

What is the thread size of the drain plug?

The drain plug features a ¾” BSP Male thread, which is approximately 26.44mm in diameter.

What types of containers can this kit be used with?

This kit is ideal for water butts, rain barrels, tanks, and other water storage containers that can accommodate a ¾” BSP threaded fitting.

Is the hose connection universal?

The outlet features a Click-Lock quick connect system, designed for quick and secure connection with compatible garden hoses.

Does the kit include a hose?

No, the kit includes the drain plug, nut, washer, and valve. A separate hose is required.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

A watertight seal is achieved by using the provided sealing washer and tightening the securing nut firmly onto the BSP thread. Ensure the container surface where the plug is installed is clean and flat.

Can this be used for anything other than water?

This product is designed specifically for water management. It is not recommended for use with chemicals, oils, or other non-water liquids.

Troubleshooting

The drain plug is leaking.

Ensure the nut is tightened securely. Check that the washer is correctly positioned and not damaged. Inspect the container opening for any imperfections.

The hose does not connect to the quick connect outlet.

Verify that the hose connector is a compatible Click-Lock type. Ensure the connector is clean and free of debris. Push the hose connector firmly until it audibly clicks.

Water flow is restricted or not opening.

Check that the integrated valve is fully open. Ensure there are no blockages within the valve or the connected hose.
