S100x8 Female - Male Camlock 3/4'' Fitting

S100x8 Female - Male Camlock 3/4'' CPP Fitting (Reference: 101036) is a professional adapter designed to efficiently connect your 1000-litre IBC tanks to your distribution systems via camlock fittings. Made from glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene, this fitting ensures a secure and durable connection between the S100x8 thread of your valves and the 3/4-inch camlock connections of your installations. Its robust design and chemical resistance make it a preferred choice for industrial, agricultural and domestic applications.

Applications and Practical Advantages

This fitting finds its place in numerous professional and domestic applications. For agricultural professionals, it allows quick connection of IBC tanks to sprinkler or drip irrigation systems equipped with camlock fittings. In industry, it facilitates the transfer of liquids between IBC containers and distribution networks. For private users, it is the ideal solution for connecting a rainwater harvesting tank to a modern irrigation system.

The main advantage of the camlock system lies in its speed of connection and disconnection. No more tedious screwing: a simple press and 90° rotation is all it takes to establish or break the connection. This ease of use proves particularly appreciated during frequent configuration changes or regular maintenance of installations.

Technical Specifications and Design

The fitting features a female S100x8 inlet perfectly suited to standard IBC tank valves. The S100x8 thread corresponds to standardised dimensions: outer diameter of 97 to 100mm and thread pitch of 8mm. This standardisation guarantees universal compatibility with the majority of 1000-litre IBC tanks on the market.

The 3/4-inch male camlock outlet complies with international standards for this type of quick-release fitting. Glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene provides superior mechanical resistance compared to standard polypropylene, while retaining excellent chemical resistance. This material withstands temperatures from -20°C to +80°C and resists most common acids, bases and solvents.

Weighing 490 grams, this fitting offers an optimal compromise between robustness and manoeuvrability. Its one-piece design eliminates weak points and guarantees a perfect seal under pressure.

Installation and Practical Use

Installing this fitting requires no specific tools. Simply screw the female S100x8 inlet onto your IBC tank valve, tightening moderately by hand or with a strap wrench to avoid damaging the thread. The use of an O-ring or polypropylene-compatible sealant is recommended to optimise the seal.

To connect the camlock side, align the lugs of the corresponding female fitting with the slots of the male fitting, push in until it stops then rotate 90° clockwise. The locking should be firm and audible. To disconnect, perform the reverse operation.

Maintenance is limited to regular cleaning with clean water after use, which is particularly important if you have handled fertilising or chemical products. Polypropylene is not affected by moisture or UV rays, allowing outdoor storage without any special precautions.

Expert Tips and System Optimisation

To maximise the efficiency of your installation, use camlock fittings of the same diameter (3/4'') throughout the line to avoid pressure losses. If you need to adapt to other diameters, use camlock reducers rather than mismatched adapters.

In regions prone to frost, systematically drain the fitting in winter. Although resistant to low temperatures, the expansion of ice could damage the internal structure. For applications with viscous liquids, regularly check the integrity of the camlock seals.

This fitting pairs perfectly with other elements from our range: camlock valves, flow reducers, elbow fittings to bypass obstacles. For permanent installations, consider adding an additional hose clamp on the threaded section for added security.

Professional tip: mark your fittings with a permanent marker to quickly identify their function in complex installations. This greatly facilitates maintenance and reduces the risk of connection errors.
