Female S100x8 - male threaded 2'' NPS fitting

Female S100x8 - male threaded 2'' NPS fitting (Reference: 100186)

This professional CPP fitting represents the ideal technical solution for adapting your S100x8 valves to 2-inch BSP threaded piping networks. Manufactured in high-performance polypropylene reinforced with 30% glass fibers, it combines lightness, rigidity and exceptional chemical resistance. Certified for food contact, this fitting establishes itself as an essential element for demanding professional installations.

Applications and areas of use

This female S100x8 - male threaded 2'' fitting finds its place in numerous industrial and agricultural configurations. Perfect for 1000L IBC tanks, it allows direct connection of standard S100x8 valves to 2-inch distribution networks. Food industry professionals use it to connect their storage tanks to process lines, while agricultural operators use it to link their liquid fertilizer or plant protection product reservoirs to irrigation systems.

In the chemical industry, this fitting facilitates the connection between storage tanks and transfer pumps. Its polypropylene material resists acids, bases and common solvents, ensuring optimal durability even in contact with aggressive fluids. Industrial plumbing installers appreciate its ease of implementation and compatibility with existing equipment.

Technical characteristics and materials

The design of this fitting is based on polypropylene loaded with 30% glass fibers, providing high rigidity and excellent hardness. This technical composition considerably improves mechanical strength compared to standard polypropylene, reducing deformation under stress and extending service life.

The female S100x8 inlet adapts perfectly to standard IBC tank valves, with precise dimensions: internal diameter from 97 to 100mm and 8mm thread pitch. The 2'' BSP (British Standard Pipe) male outlet complies with international threading standards, ensuring universal compatibility with all certified equipment. Special treatment for food contact meets the strictest regulatory requirements.

Installation and commissioning

Installation of this CPP fitting is performed without specialized tools. Simply screw the female part onto the S100x8 valve using moderate tightening to avoid thread damage. Since polypropylene is softer than metal, excessive tightening could compromise sealing. Preferably use PTFE sealing tape on the 2'' male thread to guarantee perfect sealing.

On the connection side, connect your pipes, pumps or other 2'' BSP threaded equipment to the male outlet. Check thread alignment before tightening to avoid seizing. Once installed, test sealing at reduced pressure before final commissioning. Maintenance is limited to regular cleaning with soapy water and visual inspection of the threads.

Expert advice and optimizations

To maximize the performance of this fitting, prioritize the use of NBR O-rings on critical connections. These seals improve sealing and compensate for slight dimensional tolerances. In food applications, opt for FDA seals to maintain regulatory compliance.

Combine this fitting with brass or plastic S100x8 valves available at Multitanks to create a coherent assembly. 2'' Camlock fittings make excellent complements for temporary connections or maintenance operations. Avoid prolonged UV exposure without protection, as polypropylene can become brittle over time.

In chemical environments, check compatibility with your specific fluids beforehand. Although polypropylene resists most common chemicals, certain aromatic solvents or ketones may affect its mechanical properties. Store spare fittings in a dry, temperate place to preserve their characteristics.
