Female RD78 fitting - male S60x6

CPP Female RD78 - Male S60x6 Fitting (Reference: 101052) is a high-quality technical adapter made of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene. This professional fitting allows you to seamlessly connect DIN50 valves to S60x6 threaded systems, offering a versatile solution for all your industrial and domestic connection needs.

Applications and use cases

This adapter fitting is suitable for many configurations: connecting 1000L IBC tanks, installing storage systems, modifying existing valves, or creating hybrid circuits. Industry professionals appreciate it for quickly adapting their equipment without replacing the entire system.

Private users use it to connect their rainwater collection tanks to different types of taps. Farmers and horticulturists use it to adapt their irrigation systems, while industrial users integrate it into their non-aggressive liquid transfer circuits.

Technical specifications and materials

Made from fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene, this fitting benefits from superior mechanical resistance compared to standard polypropylene. The fiberglass reinforcement provides increased rigidity and better resistance to mechanical stress, preventing deformation under pressure.

The female RD78 inlet fully complies with the DIN50 standard, ensuring total compatibility with standard IBC tank valves. The male S60x6 outlet (2'') offers a precise thread for secure tightening. The dimensions are perfectly calibrated to prevent leaks and ensure long-lasting sealing.

The chemical resistance of polypropylene allows use with a wide range of liquids: water, saline solutions, weak acids, and many non-aggressive industrial chemicals.

Installation and implementation

Installing this adapter fitting is simple and quick. Start by checking the cleanliness of the RD78 threads on your valve and make sure no debris is blocking the passage. Screw the fitting onto the valve by hand in the correct direction of rotation, then tighten moderately with a suitable wrench.

Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the polypropylene or create excessive stress. A firm but reasonable tightening is sufficient thanks to the quality of the thread. For temporary applications, hand-tightening may even be sufficient.

Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning and visual inspection of the fitting condition. When used with liquids that may leave deposits, regular rinsing with clean water maintains optimal performance.

Expert tips and synergies

To optimise your installations, combine this fitting with our S60x6 ball valves for precise flow control. EPDM seals from our range enhance sealing in critical applications. Also consider our repair sleeves as preventive spare parts.

Professional tip: during seasonal storage, disassemble the fittings to prevent freezing which could damage them. As polypropylene does not withstand prolonged sub-zero temperatures well, indoor storage preserves the product's longevity.

For agricultural applications, this fitting integrates perfectly into our Gardena irrigation systems and automatic programmers. Building professionals often pair it with our surface pumps to create versatile supply circuits.

Avoid mistakes: never force a thread that resists, instead check the diameter compatibility. A poorly matched fitting can permanently damage your equipment.
