15cm Lid for 1000L IBC Tank with PVC 50/63 Inlet and 2'' Filter

15cm Lid for 1000L IBC Tank with PVC 50/63 Inlet and 2'' Filter (Reference: 101515) represents the ideal professional solution to equip your 1000-litre IBC tanks with a high-performance and secure filling system. Designed by Multitanks according to the most demanding industrial standards, this lid combines robustness, watertightness and ease of use to meet the needs of both private individuals and professionals.

Applications and Benefits

This specialised lid is indispensable for all rainwater harvesting and liquid storage projects. Thanks to its standard 15cm diameter, it fits perfectly on all IBC tanks with a corresponding opening. The PVC 50/63 inlet allows direct connection with rainwater downpipes, facilitating the automatic filling of your water reserve.

For private individuals, this lid transforms your tank into an autonomous rainwater harvesting system, ideal for garden watering, outdoor cleaning or feeding ornamental ponds. Professionals will appreciate its ability to integrate into more complex installations: agricultural supply systems, industrial processes requiring temporary storage, or fire-fighting systems.

The integrated 2'' stainless steel filter is a major asset, effectively retaining leaves, twigs, moss and other debris that could contaminate your water reserve, thus ensuring better quality of the stored liquid.

Technical Specifications and Design

The technical design of this lid meets the strictest requirements in terms of watertightness and resistance. Made from a high-density plastic material resistant to UV rays and thermal variations, it retains its mechanical properties even after several years of outdoor exposure.

The PVC 50/63 inlet has an outer diameter of 63mm and an inner diameter of 50mm, allowing a perfect connection with standard PVC pipes available on the market. This universal compatibility greatly facilitates integration into existing installations. The fitting can accommodate pipes up to 70mm outer diameter, offering appreciable flexibility for different types of projects.

The 2'' stainless steel filter is distinguished by its construction in food-grade stainless steel, ensuring optimal resistance to corrosion and chemical agents. Its calibrated mesh effectively retains particles larger than 2mm while maintaining a satisfactory filling flow rate. The fixing system allows quick disassembly for cleaning and maintenance.

Installation and Practical Use

The installation of this lid requires no specific tools. After checking the cleanliness of the tank opening, position the lid ensuring perfect alignment. The screw-on fixing system ensures lasting watertightness thanks to the integrated sealing gasket.

For PVC pipe connection, use appropriate PVC adhesive or a sleeve joint system to guarantee the watertightness of the assembly. Make sure to allow a sufficient gradient to facilitate water flow towards the tank. The inlet orientation can be adjusted during fitting to suit the configuration of your installation.

Maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of the stainless steel filter. A monthly rinse with clean water is generally sufficient, more frequently during the leaf-fall season. The filter can be removed without tools, allowing quick and efficient maintenance. Regularly inspect the condition of the sealing gasket and replace it if necessary to maintain the integrity of your installation.

Expert Advice and Optimisation

To maximise the efficiency of your system, combine this lid with an upstream filter collector to pre-filter roof water. This cascade configuration significantly improves the quality of the collected water and extends the service life of the integrated stainless steel filter.

Installing a complementary overflow system prevents spillage during heavy rainfall. Also plan a drain valve at the bottom of the tank to facilitate maintenance and complete draining when necessary. These accessories, available in the Multitanks range, form a coherent and high-performance ensemble.

For regions affected by frost, consider partially draining the tank in winter or installing an appropriate heating system. The lid is resistant to sub-zero temperatures, but the presence of ice in the pipework can damage the installation.

Professional tip: adding a transparent level indicator to the tank allows visual monitoring of the filling level without disassembly. This improvement is particularly useful for automated or hard-to-access installations.
