S100x8 Female - Male Camlock Fitting 2''

S100x8 Female - Male Camlock Fitting 2'' (Reference: 101038) represents the ideal technical solution to efficiently connect your 1000-litre IBC tanks to your transfer systems equipped with 2-inch camlock fittings. Manufactured by CPP in high-strength glass fibre reinforced polypropylene, this professional fitting guarantees a safe and durable connection between two widely used industry coupling standards.

Applications and Professional Uses

This hybrid S100x8 female to male camlock 2'' fitting meets the specific needs of IBC tank users who wish to connect their reservoirs to equipment fitted with camlock couplings. Ideal for agricultural applications (transfer of liquid fertilisers, crop protection products), industrial activities (chemical, food processing, water treatment), and advanced domestic uses (rainwater harvesting, automated irrigation).

Construction professionals, landscapers, and agricultural operators particularly appreciate this versatility, which allows IBC tanks to be easily integrated into existing hydraulic circuits equipped with camlock standards. This solution avoids costly installation modifications and ensures immediate compatibility.

Technical Specifications and Innovation

The glass fibre reinforced polypropylene used in the manufacture of this fitting offers superior mechanical resistance compared to standard polypropylenes. This innovative composition guarantees pressure resistance, tolerance to thermal variations, and exceptional durability against chemicals commonly stored in IBC tanks.

The S100x8 thread strictly complies with dimensional standards: outer diameter of 97 to 100mm and a thread pitch of 8mm. This dimensional precision ensures a perfect seal with all IBC tank valves conforming to this standard. The 2'' male camlock fitting integrates the quick-lock mechanism characteristic of this technology, allowing frequent connections and disconnections without tools.

With a weight of 490 grams, this fitting offers an excellent balance between robustness and ease of handling. Its one-piece design eliminates the risk of leaks associated with multiple assemblies.

Installation and Practical Use

Installation of this fitting requires no specialised tools. Simply hand-tighten the S100x8 female inlet onto the valve of your IBC tank, following the correct direction of rotation. The use of an appropriate sealing gasket (not included) between the fitting and the valve ensures optimal sealing.

The male camlock outlet connects easily to any 2'' female camlock fitting by aligning the lugs and performing a quarter turn. Locking is achieved by simply pressing the camlock levers until a characteristic click confirms the secure connection.

For maintenance, regular rinsing with clean water is sufficient to maintain the fitting's performance. When used with chemical products, thorough rinsing after each use significantly extends the service life of the fitting. Polypropylene resists most common chemicals, but compatibility should be verified for specific applications.

Synergies and Expert Advice

This fitting integrates perfectly into a complete fluid management ecosystem. Pair it with our other camlock fittings (elbows, tees, reducers) to create modular and scalable transfer circuits. Camlock ball valves allow precise flow control, while camlock caps secure unused ends.

For irrigation applications, combine this fitting with our irrigation timers and surface pumps to fully automate water distribution from your IBC tanks. This solution proves particularly effective for greenhouses, large gardens, and container growing.

Expert tip: always check the cleanliness of contact surfaces before each camlock connection. A single grain of sand can compromise the seal. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on the fitting by using appropriate pipe supports to relieve tensile forces.

During winter, completely drain circuits containing this fitting to prevent frost damage, although polypropylene offers good resistance to low temperatures.
