Product Information

Full details

This Akor IBC Water Storage Tank Outlet Kit is designed for users with Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) who need to connect their 2" S60x6 coarse threaded outlet to a 20mm MDPE water supply pipe. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-free, and easy connection solution for water storage and irrigation systems. A minor caveat is that PTFE tape may be required for optimal sealing and is sold separately. The kit includes a cap that fits the IBC thread and a compression fitting for the MDPE pipe.

FAQs

What type of IBC thread does this kit connect to?

This kit is designed for IBC tanks with a 2" S60x6 coarse threaded outlet.

What size MDPE pipe can I connect?

The kit includes a fitting for a 20mm MDPE water supply pipe.

Does the kit include everything needed for a watertight connection?

The kit provides the primary connection components. However, PTFE tape may be required for optimal sealing on the threads and is sold separately.

What material is the cap and fitting made from?

The components are constructed from robust, durable plastic.

Can this kit be used for high-pressure water systems?

The MDPE fittings are engineered to withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi). Ensure your system pressure does not exceed this limit.

How do I clean the kit?

Clean the cap and fitting with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.

What does S60x6 mean?

S60x6 refers to the standard thread size for IBC outlets: a 60mm outer diameter and a 6mm pitch (distance between threads).

Troubleshooting

Leak at the IBC tank thread connection.

Ensure the S60x6 cap is screwed on tightly and the IBC outlet threads are clean and undamaged. If the leak persists, consider using PTFE tape on the IBC threads before attaching the cap.

Leak at the MDPE pipe connection.

Check that the MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the compression fitting and that the compression nut is tightened securely. Ensure the pipe is cut cleanly and squarely. If necessary, reapply PTFE tape to the BSPM thread connection between the cap and the joiner, and re-tighten the compression nut.

Difficulty screwing the cap onto the IBC.

Verify that your IBC has an S60x6 coarse thread. Ensure there are no obstructions or cross-threading. Gently try to reseat the cap and screw it on slowly and straight.

Water flow is lower than expected.

Check the MDPE pipe for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the IBC tank has sufficient water and that the outlet valve is fully open. Verify all connections are secure and not restricting flow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify your IBC tank's outlet thread. This kit is designed for 2" S60x6 coarse threaded outlets.
  2. Ensure the IBC tank outlet is clean and free from debris.
  3. Screw the Akor IBC S60X6 Cap firmly onto the IBC tank outlet.
  4. Apply PTFE tape (sold separately) to the threads of the MDPE Straight Joiner if a watertight seal is crucial and you anticipate any minor seepage.
  5. Insert the end of your 20mm MDPE pipe into the compression fitting of the MDPE Straight Joiner.
  6. Tighten the compression nut securely using appropriate tools (e.g., a spanner). Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • IBC Tanks: Compatible with IBCs featuring a 2" S60x6 coarse threaded outlet.
  • Pipes: Specifically designed for 20mm MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) water supply pipes.
  • Fittings: Utilizes a 3/4" BSP female thread on the cap for connecting the included BSPM joiner.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
  • Clean the cap and fitting with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store in a dry, protected area when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
