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