Barrel Tap

A barrel tap for an outside water barrel in your garden, although it may have other uses too.

There are several parts to this and some you will need to print multiple times.

Part	#	Material	Notes
barrel_tap	x1	PETG	This is the main part of the tap that inserts into the barrel
barrel_tap_plug	x1	PETG	The movable part that screws into the tap to stop the flow of water
barrel_tap_nut	x2	PETG	These nuts screw onto the barrel_tap part inside the barrel. You may get away with just one, but I used two for extra strength.
barrel_tap_washer	x2	TPU	These washers seal the tap to the barrel. Place one inside and one outside. Print with only 1 wall layer to make them extra squishy.
barrel_tap_plug_washer	x1	TPU	This small washer goes on the end of barrel_tap_plug and seals the plug against the inside of the tap to ensure no water escapes when the tap is closed. You will need to press it firmly into the plug body. Use a vice or press hard onto a flat surface.
barrel_tap_spanner	x1	PETG or PLA	A handy spanner that's just the right size!

If your barrel is rough wood or uneven plastic you may need to use silicone sealant on the inside of the barrel. If it's smooth plastic the washers should be enough.

You'll need to drill a hole 30mm in diameter for the tap to be inserted into the barrel.
