AOOWU 5083071 Water Butt Connector Kit, 50cm Flexible Hose, 25mm

A 50cm flexible, corrugated hose gives you a practical way to link water butts or tanks and guide rainwater between them. Its bendable design helps the connection follow the space available, while the supplied fittings, seals and clamps provide the parts needed to secure the hose at both ends.

Choose this kit when you want to connect water storage containers or direct water towards a tank, for a simple, fixed connection with no need to route a hose, a rigid link may suit the layout better. The AOOWU kit is designed for rainwater collection and garden watering, with an included hole cutter for preparing the connection points.

Practical tips

Plan the position of each container before making the openings, so the hose can run between them without being stretched. The supplied cutter is 32mm and is intended for walls up to 15mm thick. After drilling, fit the threaded connectors with the sealing washers and lock nuts, then attach the hose and tighten the clamps. This gives you a clear, step-by-step installation using the components in the kit.

The corrugated hose can bend to suit different layouts around a garden or vegetable plot. Use it to link two rainwater containers, or to create a route between a container and another part of a rainwater setup. Where the purpose is to manage excess water, the connection can help direct it from one container towards another rather than allowing the collection arrangement to stop at a single butt.

What you’ll notice day to day

Once connected, the flexible pipe makes it easier to position containers without needing them to sit directly against one another. That can be useful where space around a shed, patio or garden bed dictates the layout. The kit’s threaded fittings and clamping points are intended to hold the hose in place, while the sealing washers help form a close-fitting connection at the openings.

For garden use, linking storage containers can make collected rainwater available across a larger setup. It is a straightforward option for people who want to reuse rainwater for outdoor watering and prefer a flexible hose connection to a fixed arrangement. The included hole cutter also means the kit is supplied with a tool for making the specified openings, rather than requiring a separate cutter for that step.
