Female RD78 Fitting - Female 2 inch BSP

Female RD78 Fitting - Female 2 inch BSP CPP (Reference: 101055) in glass fibre reinforced polypropylene. This high quality CPP technical fitting provides a professional solution for connecting equipment with RD78 DIN50 outlet to systems using the BSP 2 inch standard. Designed to withstand industrial constraints, it guarantees a perfect seal and exceptional durability in your installations.

Applications and use cases

This female/female fitting finds its application in many professional sectors. It allows in particular the connection of IBC 1000L tanks equipped with DIN50 valves to pumping or distribution systems using the BSP 2'' standard. Farmers frequently use it to connect their water or liquid fertiliser storage tanks to their irrigation systems. In industry, it facilitates connections between different liquid handling equipment, allowing a perfect adaptation between European DIN and British BSP standards.

Building and industrial plumbing professionals particularly appreciate its versatility for adapting their existing installations. It proves indispensable when modernising old installations or when connecting equipment of different origins. Its female/female design allows flexible installation and easy maintenance of fluid circuits.

Technical specifications and innovation

The glass fibre reinforced polypropylene of which this CPP fitting is made offers superior mechanical resistance compared to standard polypropylene. This composition allows better resistance to temperature variations and mechanical stress, guaranteeing increased durability even under intensive use conditions. The material resists corrosion, UV and most chemical products commonly used in agriculture and industry.

The technical design strictly complies with DIN50 standards for the RD78 inlet and BSP (British Standard Pipe) for the 2 inch outlet. The threads are precision machined to ensure progressive tightening and optimum sealing. The internal geometry is optimised to minimise pressure losses and promote laminar flow of fluids. This design allows hydraulic performance to be maintained even at high flow rates.

Installation and practical use

The installation of this female/female fitting requires the use of compatible male elements on each side. On the RD78 side, it screws directly onto the standard DIN50 valves of IBC tanks or other equipment. On the BSP 2'' side, it accommodates male fittings of corresponding dimensions. A firm hand tightening followed by a quarter turn with a wrench is generally sufficient to achieve a perfect seal.

Before installation, check the cleanliness of the threads and the absence of defects on the sealing surfaces. The use of a gasket or appropriate sealing compound is recommended depending on the type of fluid being transported. For maintenance, regular cleaning with soapy water is sufficient. Avoid aggressive solvents that could alter the properties of the polypropylene. When dismantling, proceed with care to preserve the integrity of the threads.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimise the use of this fitting, combine it with Camlock fittings on the BSP side to benefit from a quick and secure connection system. This combination is particularly appreciated for mobile applications or those requiring frequent disconnections. Also consider complementary reducers and adapters if you need to connect to different diameters.

A common mistake is to force the tightening, which can damage the polypropylene threads. Respect the recommended torque values and favour sealing by gasket rather than by excessive compression. During winter, regularly check the connections as thermal variations can affect the tension of the assemblies. For food-grade applications, ensure that all elements of your circuit comply with the food contact standards in force.
