Product Information

Full details

This IBC Outlet Kit is designed for users of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) with S60x6 outlets who need to connect to a 32mm MDPE pipe for water supply or irrigation. The key benefit is a secure, leak-free connection to your water system. A potential caveat is that PTFE tape may be required for a watertight seal on the thread. The kit includes a durable S60x6 end cap with a built-in 1" BSP female thread and a 32mm MDPE Tee compression fitting, facilitating easy integration into existing piping.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the thread size of the cap that screws onto the IBC?

The cap has an S60x6 thread, which is a standard 2-inch coarse thread commonly found on IBC outlets.

What size pipe does the MDPE tee connect to?

The MDPE tee fitting is designed for 32mm MDPE pipes.

Does the kit include PTFE tape?

No, PTFE tape is not included in the kit and may be required to ensure a watertight seal on the 1" BSP thread. It is sold separately.

What is the pressure rating of the MDPE fitting?

The MDPE fittings in this kit are rated for PN10, which corresponds to a maximum working pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Can this kit be used for chemicals?

While MDPE fittings offer some chemical resistance, this kit is primarily intended for water or compatible fluid transfer. Check the chemical compatibility of all components before use with substances other than water.

What if my IBC outlet is not S60x6?

This kit specifically requires an S60x6 outlet. If your IBC has a different thread size, you will need an adapter or a different outlet kit.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the IBC outlet thread

Ensure the S60x6 cap is screwed on tightly. Check the IBC outlet for damage. Consider using a rubber gasket if one was not pre-installed.

Leak at the 1" BSP thread connection

Apply PTFE tape to the male BSP thread before screwing the MDPE tee into the cap. Ensure the tee is tightened sufficiently.

Leak at the MDPE pipe compression fitting

Ensure the 32mm MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Tighten the compression nut firmly but do not overtighten, as this can damage the pipe or fitting.

Low water flow

Check for blockages in the IBC, the cap, the tee, or the connected pipe. Ensure the IBC valve (if present) is fully open.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is designed for Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) featuring an S60x6 coarse thread outlet (standard 2-inch thread). It is compatible with 32mm MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes. Ensure your IBC outlet is clean before attaching the cap.

Setup:

  1. Clean the S60x6 thread on your IBC tank outlet.
  2. Screw the IBC S60x6 Cap (IBCS60X6CAP1BSPF) securely onto the IBC outlet.
  3. If a watertight seal is critical and not achieved by the cap's thread alone, apply PTFE tape (sold separately) to the 1" BSP Male thread of the MDPE Tee (MDPETEE32-1BSPM).
  4. Screw the MDPE Tee fitting into the 1" BSP Female thread on the IBC cap.
  5. Insert the 32mm MDPE pipe into the compression fitting on the MDPE Tee and tighten the compression nut securely.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the exterior of the cap and fitting with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
