Solid Cap S60x6 - DIN 61 in HDPE

Solid Cap S60x6 - DIN 61 in HDPE (Reference: 101137) represents the ideal hermetic closure solution for your 1000-litre IBC tanks and storage containers. This professional high-density polyethylene cap guarantees a perfect seal for all your water storage systems, whether intended for domestic, agricultural or industrial use.

Applications and benefits

This solid cap fits perfectly on 1000-litre IBC tanks equipped with S60x6 standard valves, as well as on 20-litre containers with the same thread. It is an essential solution for individuals wishing to secure their rainwater reserves, farmers managing irrigation for their crops, or professionals storing non-hazardous liquids.

Its solid design ensures a complete closure of the system, preventing any external contamination and avoiding evaporation of stored liquids. The tamper-evident collar provided guarantees the integrity of your installations and allows detection of any unauthorised access attempt.

Technical characteristics and materials

Manufactured in HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), this cap benefits from exceptional resistance to temperature variations, UV rays and chemical corrosion. HDPE is recognised for its durability and food-grade compatibility, making it a safe choice for drinking water storage.

The 2'' S60x6 female thread strictly complies with the DIN 61 standard, ensuring universal compatibility with all standard IBC fittings. The integrated white PE gasket creates a perfect watertight barrier, resistant to ageing and the repeated mechanical stresses associated with opening and closing cycles.

The robust design of the cap allows it to withstand moderate pressures while maintaining its structural integrity over the long term, even under intensive use conditions.

Installation and practical use

The S60x6 cap is installed by simple manual screwing onto the thread of your IBC tank valve. The ergonomic design allows easy handling and progressive tightening until optimum sealing is achieved. It is recommended not to overtighten in order to preserve the PE gasket and facilitate subsequent unscrewing operations.

Before first use, check the condition of the white gasket and clean the receiving threads to ensure a perfect assembly. For food-grade applications, rinsing with clean water is sufficient to prepare the cap for use.

Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning with soapy water and a visual inspection of gasket integrity. In case of PE gasket wear, it can be replaced individually to extend the service life of the cap.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimise your storage installation, combine this cap with our specialised S60x6 fittings: quarter-turn valves for precise flow control, reducers for adaptation to pipes of different diameters, or Camlock fittings for quick and secure connections.

In the context of an automated irrigation system, plan for several spare caps to allow regular rotation and cleaning. This practice guarantees the quality of the stored water and extends the service life of your equipment.

Professional tip: mark the installation date on the tamper-evident collar to facilitate tracking of your installations. For winter applications, ensure the cap remains accessible despite difficult weather conditions, and plan for gentle thawing if necessary.

Warning: avoid prolonged direct exposure to extreme temperatures which could alter the mechanical properties of the HDPE and compromise the sealing of the system.
