Water Tank/Butt and IBC Connector - Pipe Link Linking Fitting Kit
Use this set to link water butts together so they fill either sequentially or in parallel, allowing you to add capacity to your system.
Linking water butts at the top means water will overflow from the 'source water butt' into the receiving water butt. The first water butt will fill then the 2nd, then the 3rd and so on. In this set up each water butt requires its own tap since each vessel is essentially separate from the adjacent water butt -each water butt will have its own top water level.
An alternative way to extend capacity is to link the water butts at the base. This is usually only possible if the water butt has a bottom threaded connection. In this scenario the water butts become a single tank, rising and falling together -all tanks maintain the same top water level.
This linking set should not be mistaken for cheaper quality linking kits widely available which use spiral black hose.
The standard linking kit includes:
- 2 No. Tank connectors with hose tail
- 2 No. back nut
- 2 No. high grade washers for inside the tank
- ~30 cm of hose/pipe
The Prestige linking kit includes:
- 2 No. 3/4" x 19mm Tank Connectors with hose tail
- 2 No. O-Rings
- ~30cm clear 3/4" hose
The Back to Back linking kit includes:
This is to suit adjacent identical water butts with the sump outlet at the rear base. For example, the Manhattan Range water butts.
- 2 No. 3/4" x 19mm overflow elbows
- 2 No. O-Rings
- 1m clear 3/4" Hose
The Side to Side linking kit includes:
This is to suit adjacent identical water butts with the sump outlet on one single face only. For example, the 300 Litre Slimline water butt.
- 2 No. 3/4" x 19mm overflow elbows
- 2 No. 90 degree 19mm elbows
- 2 No. O-Rings
- 1.5m clear 3/4" hose
If this being ordered with the Prestige Water butt or Manhattan Water Butt one hosetail/overflow will be supplied loose to allow connection to the water butt first as both hosetails/overflows cannot be fitted concurrently as one will run counter-clockwise.
Picture is indicative, washers, hose, hosetails, overflows, backnuts and colour may vary from images shown.
Dimensions refers to hose diameter.
