HarcostarLong Linking Kit For Water Butts

I ordered this item because the locking nuts are clearly shown to be on the outside of the water butt when it is fitted, but was sent one that has nuts that must be fitted internally on the water butt which is very difficult to get the correct tightness.

A good fit. Does the job. 👍

Did it’s job easily.

Exactly what it says on the tin and does ejob it is sold for, quality fine, I would recommend it.

Brilliant! Very easy to fit and does the job.

Did everything I needed it to. Prompt despatch, too.

If you want to connect two or more water butts don't use this or you will loose your water. The fittings for the butts are OK but the connection pipe is spiral wound and no matter what clips you put on ( and none are supplied ) it will leak round the spirals. No idea why this pipe is so popular as there are many cheaper smooth 25mm bore internal bore pipes available and good stainless clips to hold it in place, leakproof. Harcostar - get your act together.

An optional extra that enables two water butts to be joined together and gather rain water from one down pipe. I bought this to link two space sava water butts together.It is very easy to fit (both types of water butt that I own have got two holes at the top, which are designed to allow one side to be fitted to the down pipe and the other to link to a second water butt). In my case, I just had to push out a rubber bung and then screw one of the angled pipes to each water butt, pushing the tube onto both brackets to link the system together.Both water butts need to be on the same level for this to work and, if they are, as soon as the first water butt reaches capacity, the excess water will start to trickle through the linking pipe to fill the second (and so on). Once all water butts are full, any further rain water is diverted back down the down pipe.
