This Cost Wise IBC Water Storage Tank Outlet Kit is designed for users with 2" S60x6 coarse threaded IBC tanks needing to connect to a 32mm MDPE water supply pipe. Its key benefit is providing a durable, leak-free connection for water storage and irrigation systems. A potential caveat is that PTFE tape may be required for optimal sealing and is sold separately. The kit simplifies the transition from a standard IBC outlet to a robust MDPE water pipe system.

S60x6 refers to a standard coarse buttress thread commonly found on IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) tanks. It specifies a 60mm internal diameter and a 6mm pitch between threads.
MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene. It is a type of plastic pipe widely used for water distribution due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
No, the kit uses simple threaded connections. You will need a wrench or pliers to tighten the compression fitting nut securely, but no specialized plumbing tools are required.
No, PTFE tape (also known as thread seal tape) is not included with the kit and must be purchased separately if needed for a watertight connection.
The MDPE PN10 fittings are designed to withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars, which is approximately 145 psi.
This kit is specifically designed for 32mm MDPE pipes. Using it with other pipe materials or sizes may not result in a secure or leak-free connection.
Ensure all threads are clean and connections are made tightly. For the BSP thread connection, applying PTFE tape is recommended. For the MDPE compression fitting, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the nut is tightened firmly but not excessively.
Ensure the S60x6 End Cap is screwed on tightly. Clean the IBC outlet threads and the cap's threads. If leakage persists, consider using PTFE tape on the S60x6 threads (though typically not required for this type of connection).
Verify the MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the compression fitting. Ensure the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. Check the MDPE pipe for any damage at the insertion point. If using older or non-standard MDPE, ensure it meets the 32mm specification.
Apply PTFE tape to the 1" BSP female thread on the end cap before screwing on the compression fitting. Ensure the compression fitting is screwed on securely.
Ensure the end of the MDPE pipe is cut cleanly and is free from burrs. Slightly moistening the pipe end can sometimes aid insertion into the compression fitting.
