IBC Adapter S60x6 with Female Thread
Fit a Garden Connector or Tap to an IBC Valve

What This Product Is
An IBC adapter moulded in PE or PP with an S60x6 inlet and a 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch or 1 inch BSP female thread outlet, sealed with a PE gasket. The smaller outlet sizes are made for garden connectors, tubes and taps rather than plant pipework.
Key Benefits
- 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch outlets match standard garden and tap threads
- PE or PP construction keeps the part light and corrosion free outdoors
- The PE gasket seals the valve face without tape or compound
- Fitted by hand, so an IBC can be converted without a plumber
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Garden hose connectors and small taps have no way to attach to an IBC valve
- Improvised connections on a rainwater IBC drip constantly and waste stored water
- Rigid adapters that are too large restrict where a small tap can be fitted
Application Scenarios
- Rainwater harvesting installers converting IBCs into garden water stores
- Nurseries and allotments feeding drip lines and watering points
- Small workshops that want a tap on a bulk container

Comparison With Other Products
This adapter covers the small sizes from 1/2 inch to 1 inch for taps and garden connectors. Where the connection is to 1 inch to 2 inch BSP plant pipework, the larger S60x6 to BSP female fitting is the correct part.
Customisation
Sizes, colours and materials can be adapted where the product allows it, and branding can be applied to closures and cap seals. Confirm the change you need when you send the enquiry.
