Product Information

Full details

This Cost Wise IBC Outlet Kit is for users with IBC portable water storage tanks featuring a 2" S60x6 coarse threaded outlet who need to connect to a 32mm MDPE water pipe. The key benefit is a secure, leak-free connection with a 90-degree elbow for directional flexibility, simplifying plumbing setups. A minor caveat is that PTFE tape may be required for a watertight seal and is sold separately. The kit includes an S60x6 end cap with a 1” BSP female thread and a 1” BSP to 32mm MDPE 90-degree elbow compression fitting, offering durability and resistance to corrosion and pressure.

FAQs

What size is the S60x6 thread?

The S60x6 thread refers to a 60mm outer diameter with a 6mm pitch, common on many IBC tanks.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

No, the MDPE compression fitting is designed for tool-free installation. You will need a way to tighten the end cap onto the IBC, usually by hand.

Can I use this kit with any type of plastic pipe?

This kit is specifically designed for 32mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipes. It may not create a secure seal with other types of plastic piping.

What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?

The MDPE fittings are engineered to withstand up to 10 bars (approximately 145 psi) of pressure.

Is PTFE tape included with the kit?

No, PTFE tape is sold separately and may be required for certain connections to ensure a watertight seal.

Can I connect a straight adapter instead of the elbow?

This kit includes a 90-degree elbow fitting. If a straight connection is needed, a separate adapter would be required, ensuring it matches the 1” BSP male thread of the end cap and the desired pipe size.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the S60x6 tank connection

Ensure the end cap is screwed on tightly to the IBC tank outlet. Check for debris on the threads of both the tank and the cap.

Leak at the 1” BSP connection

Apply PTFE tape to the male BSP threads before connecting the elbow fitting. Ensure the fitting is tightened appropriately.

Leak at the MDPE pipe compression fitting

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Tighten the compression nut further. Check that the pipe is clean and free from damage.

Fitting does not screw onto the IBC outlet properly

Verify that your IBC tank outlet is indeed an S60x6 coarse thread. This kit is not compatible with fine threads or other thread types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for IBC portable water storage tanks that have a 2" S60x6 coarse threaded outlet. It connects to 32mm MDPE water pipes.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the S60x6 outlet on your IBC tank is clean.
  2. Screw the Cost Wise IBC S60x6 End Cap onto the tank outlet. Hand-tighten securely.
  3. *Optional*: For a more watertight seal, apply PTFE tape (sold separately) to the 1” BSP female thread on the end cap.
  4. Attach the 1” BSP to 32mm MDPE 90-degree elbow compression fitting to the end cap's BSP thread.
  5. Insert the 32mm MDPE pipe into the compression end of the elbow fitting.
  6. Tighten the compression nut on the elbow fitting securely to create a leak-free seal.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
  • Clean the exterior of the fittings with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the tank and connected piping are protected from extreme temperatures if water is stored.
