FAQs

What type of IBC outlet thread does this tap fit?

This tap is designed specifically for IBC tanks with a 2" coarse threaded outlet, identified as S60x6.

What are the materials of the valve and outlet?

The full flow lever valve is made of nickel-plated brass, and the outlet barb is made of brass.

Is installation difficult?

No, installation is straightforward and does not require any specialized tools. Hand-tightening is usually sufficient.

What is the purpose of the PTFE tape included?

The PTFE tape is used to create a secure, leak-proof seal between the tap and the IBC outlet, and it also helps to correctly position the lever tap.

Can I use this tap with any liquid?

This tap is generally suitable for water and many common liquids. However, always ensure compatibility with the specific liquid you intend to dispense, especially for corrosive or aggressive chemicals. The brass components are suitable for most common applications.

What is the size of the barb outlet?

The barb outlet included in the kit is 19mm (approximately 3/4 inch).

Troubleshooting

Tap leaks at the connection to the IBC.

Ensure PTFE tape is applied correctly to the IBC outlet threads and that the cap is screwed on tightly. Reapply PTFE tape if necessary.

Low or no water flow.

Verify that the lever valve is fully open. Check for any blockages in the IBC outlet, the tap mechanism, or the connected hose/tubing.

Difficulty screwing the tap onto the IBC.

Confirm that your IBC has an S60x6 coarse thread. Ensure the threads on both the IBC outlet and the tap cap are clean and free from debris.
