Female fitting 2'' NPS - male S60x6

Female fitting 2'' NPS - male S60x6 CPP (Reference: 101130) represents the perfect technical solution to adapt your 1000-litre IBC tanks with NPS threading to the S60x6 standard. This professional adapter fitting, designed by CPP, a recognised specialist in industrial fittings, enables a smooth transition between two threading standards commonly used in the liquid storage and handling industry.

Applications and practical benefits

This adapter fitting is primarily aimed at professionals in industry, agriculture and logistics who use IBC tanks with NPS threading and wish to connect them to standard S60x6 equipment. Typical applications include connecting pumps, valves, hoses or other accessories using S60x6 threading to IBC tanks of American or Asian origin.

The main benefit lies in the standardisation of connections. Since S60x6 threading is widely used in Europe for IBC tanks, this fitting allows you to harmonise your installations and use a wider range of compatible accessories. This simplifies maintenance, reduces spare parts storage costs and improves the versatility of your equipment.

Technical specifications and innovation

The fitting is manufactured from glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene, a technical material offering exceptional resistance to mechanical and chemical stresses. This composition gives the fitting superior resistance to corrosion, UV and temperature variations, ensuring a prolonged service life even under intensive use conditions.

The 2'' NPS female threading (National Pipe Straight) features precise dimensions: outer diameter of 59.6 mm and a pitch of 2.21 mm, in accordance with American standards. This machining precision ensures a perfect assembly with IBC valves fitted with this type of threading. The male S60x6 outlet complies with European standards, with a diameter of 60 mm and a pitch of 6 mm.

Weighing only 120 grams, this compact fitting does not add weight to the installation while maintaining remarkable robustness. Its one-piece design eliminates weak points and guarantees optimal sealing throughout its service life.

Installation and practical use

Installing this adapter fitting is simple and quick. Simply screw the 2'' NPS female end onto the valve of your IBC tank, following the appropriate direction of rotation. The NPS straight threading does not require an additional sealing gasket, as the seal is ensured by the precision machining of the threads.

Once fitted, the male S60x6 outlet allows direct connection of all S60x6-compatible accessories: butterfly valves, Camlock fittings, hoses, elbows, reducers or any other element of your hydraulic installation. Tightening should be done by hand or with suitable tools, avoiding over-tightening which could damage the threading.

For maintenance, regular cleaning with clean water is sufficient to maintain the fitting's performance. Polypropylene resists most common chemicals, but compatibility with transported liquids should be verified according to product safety data sheets.

Expert tips and product synergies

To optimise your installation, combine this fitting with our other S60x6 accessories: ball valves for precise flow control, 90° elbows for directional changes, or our high-pressure hoses for flexible connections. This systematic approach guarantees perfect compatibility and increased reliability.

Professional tip: keep a few spare fittings in stock to ensure continuity of service during maintenance. Their small footprint and resistance to storage conditions make them ideal parts to keep as safety stock.

For seasonal applications such as intensive irrigation, this fitting allows quick connection of temporary irrigation systems to your permanent storage tanks. Its UV resistance makes it a relevant choice for outdoor installations exposed to sunlight.

Avoid common mistakes: never force during screwing, check thread alignment before assembly, and never use unsuitable tools that could damage the polypropylene. A correct assembly is easily done by hand with a slight final effort.
