This specific model features a 1” BSP male thread.
What materials is the plug made from?
The plug is made from high-quality, weather-resistant plastic.
Does it come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, the complete kit includes 1x bulkhead plug, 1x locking nut, and 2x nylon washers.

What is BSP threading?
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It is a standardized system for threading pipes and fittings to ensure compatibility. This plug uses a 1” BSP male thread.
Troubleshooting
The plug is leaking.
Ensure both nylon washers are present and correctly positioned (one on each side of the tank wall). Tighten the locking nut firmly. Check that the tank wall surface is smooth where the washer seals.
Difficulty attaching a tap or valve.
Verify that the tap or valve has a compatible 1” BSP female thread. Ensure the bulkhead plug's external thread is clean and free from obstructions.
Plug feels loose after installation.
Tighten the locking nut further. If the tank wall is thin, consider adding a reinforcing plate or using a sealant designed for plastic and water contact, though this is not typically required with proper tightening.

Drill a hole in your water butt or tank wall appropriate for the 1” BSP thread.
Insert the bulkhead plug through the hole from the inside of the container.

Screw the locking nut onto the thread until snug, ensuring a firm grip against the tank wall.
Place the second nylon washer on the inside thread.

Compatibility:
This plug features a 1” BSP male thread. Ensure your existing or intended fittings (taps, valves, hose connectors) also use compatible BSP threading. It is designed for use with water butts, tanks, and similar containers.

Clean the plug and its associated fittings periodically with a damp cloth to remove any debris.
