This Cost Wise IBC S60X6 Cap with 20mm MDPE Tee is designed for users with IBC portable water storage tanks who need to connect to a 20mm MDPE water pipe. Its key benefit is providing a durable, leak-free connection for water supply or irrigation systems. A potential caveat is that PTFE tape may be required for optimal sealing and is sold separately. This kit features an S60x6 coarse threaded outlet cap with a built-in 3/4" BSP female thread, allowing for direct attachment of a 20mm MDPE tee compression fitting, enabling a branching connection for your water system.

S60x6 refers to a specific thread standard for IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) outlets. It has an outer diameter of 60mm and a pitch of 6mm, which is a common size for these tanks.
MDPE stands for Medium Density Polyethylene. It is a type of plastic commonly used for water pipes due to its flexibility, durability, and resistance to chemicals.
No, the compression fittings are designed for tool-less installation. You will need to tighten them by hand to create a secure seal. A spanner might be helpful for the BSP thread if needed.
While MDPE is often used for water supply, ensure that all components, including your IBC tank and any other connected plumbing, are certified for potable water use if this is your intended application.
The MDPE fittings in this kit are rated for a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).
No, PTFE tape is not included in the kit. It is recommended to use PTFE tape on the BSP thread for optimal sealing and to prevent leaks, and it should be purchased separately.
The tee fitting has two outlets at a 90-degree angle from the inlet. Connect your main water pipe to one outlet, and attach another pipe to the second outlet to create your branch.
Apply PTFE tape to the 3/4" BSP female thread on the End Cap before screwing on the MDPE Tee fitting. Ensure the Tee is tightened adequately.
Ensure the 20mm MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the compression fitting. Tighten the compression nut further. Check the pipe for any damage at the end.
Verify that your IBC tank outlet is an S60x6 coarse thread. This fitting is not compatible with other thread types (e.g., fine threads or different diameters).
Check for blockages within the pipe or the IBC tank. Ensure all connections are fully open and that the system pressure is adequate for the desired flow rate.
