Female 2'' BSP - male 3/4'' BSP fitting

CPP female 2'' BSP - male 3/4'' BSP adapter fitting (Reference: 100153) represents the ideal technical solution for connecting equipment of different diameters on your 1000-liter IBC tank installations. Manufactured by CPP in glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, this adapter guarantees a reliable and watertight connection between a 2'' BSP female thread and a 3/4'' BSP male outlet, thus optimizing the versatility of your connection systems.

Applications and benefits

This adapter fitting proves essential for professionals and individuals using IBC tanks in various fields: water storage, agricultural solutions, industrial applications or irrigation systems. It allows connecting an existing 2'' BSP valve to smaller equipment such as hoses, pumps or 3/4'' BSP accessories.

The main advantages include the ability to reduce outlet diameter without loss of watertightness, easy adaptation between different thread standards, and total compatibility with standard IBC tanks. This solution avoids complete valve replacement and allows economical installation of smaller equipment.

Technical specifications and materials

The glass fiber reinforced polypropylene gives this fitting exceptional resistance to mechanical and chemical stresses. This composite material offers a maximum resistance of 8 bar, largely sufficient for most fluid storage and distribution applications.

The BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads ensure optimal compatibility with European connection standards. The 2'' BSP female inlet screws directly onto IBC tank valves, while the 3/4'' BSP male outlet allows connection of smaller accessories. The 120-gram weight testifies to construction robustness while maintaining easy handling.

The optimized internal design minimizes pressure losses and guarantees smooth flow despite diameter reduction. The absence of metal parts eliminates corrosion risks in humid or chemically aggressive environments.

Installation and practical use

Installing this adapter fitting simply requires manual screwing onto the 2'' BSP outlet of your existing tank valve. No special tools are required, although a strap wrench can facilitate final tightening. It is recommended to apply a suitable sealant (teflon or paste) to the threads to guarantee perfect watertightness.

During use, ensure you respect the maximum pressure of 8 bar and regularly check connection watertightness. As polypropylene is sensitive to prolonged UV exposure, protection or positioning away from direct sunlight will extend the fitting's lifespan.

For maintenance, simple cleaning with clear water suffices. When using with chemicals, verify polypropylene compatibility with the transported fluid. Occasional disassembly allows thorough cleaning and inspection of thread condition.

Expert tips and technical supplements

To optimize your installation efficiency, combine this fitting with quality 3/4'' BSP valves and Guillemin or Camlock fittings to facilitate frequent connections/disconnections. Using stainless steel clamps on flexible connections guarantees durable fixing.

In irrigation applications, this fitting allows direct connection of automatic timers or drip irrigation systems without multiple adapters. For industrial applications, check fluid temperature (polypropylene supports up to 80°C continuously).

Professional tip: always maintain a spare fitting in stock, particularly in critical installations. For outdoor tanks, adding a protective cap to unused 3/4'' outlets prevents fouling and infiltration. In winter, completely purge the fitting to avoid freeze damage.

Avoid excessive tightening torques that could damage plastic threads. Hand tightening plus a quarter turn with a wrench generally suffices for optimal watertightness.
