Product Information

Full details

This IBC Tank Outlet Kit is designed for individuals and organizations managing water storage, such as gardeners, small-scale farmers, or off-grid property owners, who need a reliable connection between their IBC tank and a 20mm MDPE water supply pipe. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-free, and durable interface, preventing contamination and ensuring efficient water transfer. A potential caveat is that PTFE tape, while recommended for optimal sealing, is sold separately. The kit includes an S60x6 End Cap with a 3/4" BSP female thread and a 20mm MDPE Straight Joiner with a 3/4" BSP male thread, offering robust construction and resistance to corrosion and pressure.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does S60x6 refer to?

S60x6 refers to the standard coarse thread size (60mm outer diameter, 6mm pitch) commonly found on IBC tank outlets.

What is MDPE pipe?

MDPE stands for Medium Density Polyethylene. It is a flexible, durable, and corrosion-resistant plastic pipe commonly used for water distribution and underground services.

Is assembly difficult?

No, the kit is designed for easy assembly. The cap screws onto the IBC, and the joiner screws into the cap. Connecting the MDPE pipe is typically a push-fit action.

Do I need any special tools?

Generally, no specialized tools are required. Hand-tightening is often sufficient for the threaded connections, and MDPE pipes usually push into the joiner.

What is the maximum water pressure this kit can handle?

The fittings are engineered to withstand a maximum operating pressure of 10 bars (PN10).

Can I use this kit with other types of pipe?

This kit is specifically designed for 20mm MDPE pipe. Compatibility with other pipe types or sizes is not guaranteed and may require additional adapters.

What is the purpose of the 3/4" BSP thread?

The 3/4" BSP thread is a standard threading used to connect the IBC cap to the MDPE straight joiner, providing a common interface between the two components.

Troubleshooting

Leaking connection at the IBC cap

Ensure the S60x6 End Cap is fully tightened onto the IBC tank. Check if the IBC tank's internal seal is damaged or if debris is present on the threads. Reapply PTFE tape to the male BSP thread of the joiner.

Leaking connection between cap and joiner

Verify that PTFE tape has been applied correctly to the male BSP threads of the joiner. Ensure the joiner is screwed in securely into the female BSP thread of the cap.

MDPE pipe not securely connecting to the joiner

Confirm you are using the correct 20mm MDPE pipe. Ensure the pipe end is clean, cut squarely, and fully inserted into the MDPE fitting until it seats properly.

Low water flow

Check for blockages within the IBC tank, the cap, the joiner, or the connected MDPE pipe. Ensure the IBC tank valve is fully open and the pipe run is not excessively long or narrow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides a secure and reliable connection for IBC tanks.
Durable construction ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion.
Rated for up to 10 bars of pressure, suitable for various water systems.
Easy to install without requiring specialized tools.
MDPE joiner offers flexibility and chemical resistance for water supply.

Cons

PTFE tape is required for a watertight seal but is sold separately.
Primarily designed for 20mm MDPE pipe, limiting compatibility with other pipe sizes.
Plastic construction may be less durable than metal fittings in extreme conditions.
The 3/4" BSP thread may require specific adapters for certain existing fittings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the IBC tank outlet is clean and free of debris.
Screw the S60x6 End Cap onto the IBC tank outlet until it is snug. Hand-tighten firmly.
Apply PTFE tape (sold separately) to the male threads of the 20mm MDPE Straight Joiner.
Screw the joiner into the 3/4" BSP female thread on the End Cap until secure.
Connect your 20mm MDPE pipe to the other end of the Straight Joiner following standard MDPE connection procedures (typically push-fit).

Compatibility:

IBC Tanks: Compatible with IBC tanks featuring an S60x6 outlet thread.
Piping: Designed for use with 20mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe.
Thread Standard: Uses 3/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread for connecting the cap and joiner.

Care:

Periodically check connections for leaks, especially after initial setup or changes in water pressure.
Clean the exterior of the fittings with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong material life.
