The MYPURECORE Water Butt Brass Kit is designed for gardeners and homeowners looking to upgrade plastic spigots to a more robust, long-lasting solution for rainwater harvesting systems. It provides a durable, leak-free connection for rain barrels, tanks, and IBC containers, ensuring reliable water flow for irrigation and manual watering. While it offers superior build quality compared to standard plastic alternatives, users should ensure their existing container wall is sturdy enough to support the weight of a solid brass fitting.

It is designed for standard 1-inch to 3/4-inch BSP connections, which covers the vast majority of water butts and IBC containers.
Yes, it can be installed in plastic containers by drilling a 33mm hole and using the provided hardware to secure it.
Brass is significantly more resistant to UV rays, frost, and physical impact, leading to a much longer service life.
You will need a drill with a 33mm hole saw if your barrel does not already have an appropriate hole, plus a wrench for final tightening.
While brass is durable, it is recommended to keep the tap open during freezing temperatures to prevent internal pressure buildup from ice.
Ensure the washer is seated correctly between the tank and the tap body and that the back nut is tightened securely.
Clean the threads of any grit or debris and verify the sizing is matching the BSP standard; re-apply PTFE tape if necessary.
To install, ensure your tank wall is clean and clear of debris. If installing into a new hole, use a 33mm hole saw and ensure the nut is tightened securely against the washer to create a pressure-tight seal. Always apply the included PTFE tape clockwise around the threads to improve the seal. For care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth periodically to remove mineral deposits or algae buildup. During winter months, it is recommended to leave the tap in the open position to prevent water freezing inside the valve, which could potentially cause damage.
