Female 2'' S60x6 - male barbed straight Ø 32mm fitting

Female 2'' S60x6 - male barbed straight Ø 32mm CPP fitting (Reference: 100139) represents the ideal solution for connecting your flexible hoses to 1000-liter IBC tanks. Manufactured in high-quality polypropylene by CPP, this fitting offers exceptional resistance to chemicals and UV rays. Its rotating nut system guarantees simple assembly and perfect sealing, meeting the requirements of the most demanding professionals and individuals.

Applications and use cases

This adapter fitting finds its place in many practical situations. For watering, it allows you to directly connect a garden hose to your rainwater collection tank, transforming your installation into an autonomous irrigation system. Landscape professionals use it to create mobile watering stations on construction sites.

In the industrial and agricultural sector, this fitting facilitates the transfer of non-aggressive liquids, effluent evacuation or tank emptying. Farmers appreciate it for water supply to drinking troughs, while horticulturists integrate it into their liquid fertilization systems. Its compatibility with standard flexible hoses makes it a versatile element for any installation requiring flexibility and reliability.

Technical specifications and materials

The polypropylene used for this fitting offers remarkable properties: extensive chemical resistance, UV stability, and service temperature from -10°C to +60°C. The female S60x6 thread (6mm pitch, 60mm nominal diameter) corresponds exactly to standard IBC tank valves, guaranteeing perfect assembly without risk of leakage.

The 32mm male barbed end features optimized ridges to firmly hold flexible hoses with 32mm internal diameter. These barbs, precision-machined, prevent hose slippage even under pressure. The 32mm passage diameter allows optimal flow for most domestic and professional applications, with minimal pressure loss.

The rotating nut considerably facilitates assembly, allowing the fitting to be screwed without rotating the entire connected hose. This design avoids torsional stress on hoses and extends their service life.

Installation and practical use

Tank mounting: First check that your IBC tank valve is closed. Screw the fitting onto the S60x6 thread of the valve by hand tightening then with a 27mm wrench (be careful not to overtighten to avoid damaging the seal). Sealing occurs naturally thanks to the integrated gasket.

Hose connection: Push the flexible hose onto the barbed end by forcing slightly. The hose must completely cover the barbs. Secure with a hose clamp or clamp suitable for the external diameter of your hose (generally 40-45mm). Tighten gradually to avoid crushing the hose.

Commissioning: Gradually open the valve to test sealing. In case of leakage, check the tightening of the fitting and clamp. For watering, you can add a shut-off valve at the end of the hose to control flow.

Maintenance: Drain installations before frost. Periodically clean the fitting with soapy water. Polypropylene resists conventional disinfectants.

Expert advice and optimizations

Optimal hose choice: Choose a spiral-reinforced hose to avoid collapse under vacuum. For watering, a transparent PVC hose allows flow visualization. Food-grade rubber hoses are suitable for drinking water.

Possible improvements: Add a ball valve at the outlet for precise flow control. A pressure reducer may be useful if your tank is elevated. For permanent installations, consider adding a disconnector to prevent water return into the tank.

Errors to avoid: Do not use sealant paste on the S60x6 thread (the integrated gasket is sufficient). Avoid PU hoses that harden over time. Do not overtighten the clamp at the risk of deforming the hose and creating weak points.

Compatibility: This fitting pairs perfectly with our S60x6 valves, tank caps, and pressure reducers. To create a complete watering system, consider our irrigation timers and Gardena accessories.
