FAQs

What type of IBC tank outlet is required for this tap?

This tap is designed specifically for IBC tanks with an S60x6 (60mm coarse thread) outlet. It will not fit other thread types.

Do I need to buy any additional parts to install this?

The kit includes PTFE tape for sealing. You will need to ensure you have this tape. A standard garden hose and the IBC tank itself are, of course, required for use.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Apply a small amount of PTFE tape around the threads of the lever valve before screwing it onto the cap. Ensure the connection is snug. The kit provides the tape for this purpose.

Can I use this tap for chemicals?

The tap is constructed from nickel-plated brass and metal. While suitable for many liquids, check the compatibility of these materials with specific chemicals before use, especially for industrial applications.

How do I position the lever tap?

After screwing the lever valve onto the cap, you can adjust its position. The PTFE tape helps to maintain its position, allowing you to set it upright for ease of access.

What is the benefit of a 'full flow' lever valve?

A full flow valve allows for maximum water transfer when fully open, which is useful for quickly filling containers or for applications where high flow rates are desired.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the thread connection.

Ensure sufficient PTFE tape has been applied to the threads of the lever valve or cap. Reapply tape and tighten the connection firmly but without overtightening.

Water flow is restricted or weak.

Check if the lever valve is fully open. Inspect the valve and hose fitting for any blockages or debris. Ensure the hose itself is not kinked.

The tap doesn't fit the IBC tank outlet.

Verify that your IBC tank has an S60x6 (2" coarse thread) outlet. This kit is not compatible with fine threads or other thread sizes.

Lever valve is difficult to operate.

Ensure the valve is not overtightened onto the cap. Check for any debris obstructing the valve mechanism. Sometimes, repeated use can loosen it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This tap kit is specifically designed for IBC tanks that have a 2" coarse threaded outlet, identified as S60x6. Ensure your IBC tank outlet matches this specification before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the IBC tank is empty and stable.
  2. Screw the provided cap onto the S60x6 threaded outlet of the IBC tank.
  3. Apply a small amount of PTFE tape to the threads of the lever valve where it will connect to the cap.
  4. Screw the nickel-plated brass full flow lever valve onto the cap. Position the lever tap in an upright position and tighten.
  5. Screw the metal universal garden hose fitting onto the outlet of the lever valve.
  6. Connect your garden hose to the universal fitting.

Care:

  • Periodically check all connections for leaks, especially after initial setup or prolonged periods of non-use.
  • Clean the exterior of the tap and fittings with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • For long-term storage, especially during winter, drain the tap and hose completely to prevent frost damage.
