Product Information

Full details

This IBC tank riser kit is designed for gardeners, allotment holders, and site users who need a simpler, cleaner way to fill watering cans, buckets, and jerry cans from their IBC tanks. Its key benefit is raising the tap by approximately 30cm, creating crucial space under the outlet for containers, even on level ground. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with IBC tanks featuring a 2" S60 x 6 coarse thread outlet.

What is the purpose of the swan neck design?

Troubleshooting

Riser leaks at the IBC connection.

Ensure the S60x6 thread is clean and undamaged. Reapply PTFE thread seal tape to the IBC outlet threads and tighten the adaptor firmly by hand.

Tap is dripping or won't close fully.

Check if debris is caught in the tap mechanism. If the tap is old or damaged, consider replacing it.

Difficult to screw the adaptor onto the IBC outlet.

Verify you have an S60x6 coarse thread. Ensure threads are clean and aligned correctly. Do not force the connection.
