Product Information

Full details

This Cost Wise adapter kit is for gardeners and homeowners looking to efficiently utilize collected rainwater. Its key benefit is the simple, leak-free connection between water butts, rain barrels, or storage tanks and standard garden hoses. A potential caveat is the 3/4" BSP thread size, which needs to match your existing fittings.

How do I install the adapter into my water butt?

The adapter can be installed into a 6mm hole or an existing 3/4" BSP female thread on your water butt, rain barrel, or tank.

Is this product suitable for pressurized water systems?

This adapter is designed for gravity-fed systems drawing water from storage tanks or butts, not for high-pressure mains connections.

What materials are the adapter and connector made from?

Both the adapter and the connector are made from high-quality materials, precisely molded for durability and a leak-free connection.

Will this adapter prevent leaks?

Yes, the precise manufacturing ensures an accurate fit, creating a reliable, leak-free connection.

Troubleshooting

Leak detected at the connection point.

Ensure the 3/4" BSP thread is properly seated and tightened. Check that the hose connector is securely screwed onto the adapter. Inspect both the adapter and the hose for any damage.

Water flow is significantly reduced.

Check the water butt/tank for debris that might be obstructing the inlet. Ensure the hose itself is not kinked or blocked.

Adapter does not fit the tank/butt opening.

Verify that your tank/butt has a compatible 3/4" BSP female thread or a 6mm hole. This adapter is not designed for all types of openings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, insert the threaded adapter into a 6mm hole or an existing 3/4" BSP female thread on your water butt, rain barrel, or tank. Ensure it is securely fitted.
