Male Ribbed Fitting with Mini Valve 20mm

Male Ribbed Fitting with Mini Valve 20mm (Reference: 100235) represents Multitanks innovation to optimize your watering systems connected to 1000-liter IBC tanks. This multifunctional HDPE fitting combines industrial robustness and ease of use, offering precise flow control directly at the connection point.

Applications and benefits

This fitting with mini valve is designed for demanding gardeners, urban farmers and landscape professionals who use IBC tanks for autonomous watering. The integrated mini valve allows instant start and stop of watering without returning to the main tank.

Ideal for greenhouses, vegetable gardens, municipal green spaces and market garden operations, this fitting facilitates water management by allowing local flow control. No more back and forth to the tank to open or close the water supply.

The 19mm ribbed outlet ensures a watertight connection with standard garden hoses, reducing water loss and optimizing available pressure.

Technical specifications and innovation

Manufactured in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), this fitting resists UV, thermal variations and corrosion. The HDPE material ensures exceptional longevity even in intensive outdoor use.

The S60x6 female thread fits perfectly with standard IBC tank valves, guaranteeing universal compatibility. The precise dimensions (D1: 60mm, Pitch: 6mm) comply with industrial standards for reliable assembly.

The integrated mini valve uses a ball mechanism for smooth and durable operation. Lever actuation allows progressive flow control, from complete stop to maximum flow.

The 19mm ribbed outlet (compatible with 3/4'' hoses) optimizes sealing thanks to its notches that firmly hold clamps or hose clips.

Installation and use

Installation is performed directly on the valve of your IBC tank. Simply screw the S60x6 female thread onto the existing valve, tightening by hand then finalizing with a suitable wrench to ensure sealing.

Then connect your garden hose to the 19mm ribbed outlet using a clamp or hose clip. Make sure to position the hose along the entire length of the ribbed section to optimize sealing.

For daily use, first open the main valve of the IBC tank, then use the fitting's mini valve to precisely control the flow. This method preserves the main valve and facilitates watering operations.

Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the ribs and checking the condition of seals. In winter, completely drain the fitting to avoid frost damage.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimize your installations, combine this fitting with our Gardena watering timers which will completely automate your system. The combination of IBC tank + mini valve fitting + timer creates a perfectly autonomous watering solution.

Market gardening professionals will appreciate the possibility of installing several fittings on the same tank (via a splitter) to supply different watering zones with individual control.

Seasonal tip: In periods of intense heat, the mini valve allows instant flow reduction without completely stopping watering, avoiding thermal shock to sensitive plants.

Avoid common mistakes: never force tightening of the S60x6 thread, always use a clamp suitable for 19mm diameter, and position the mini valve in closed position before disconnecting the hose.

Complete your installation with our water filters to protect your automatic watering systems and our pressure reducers to adapt flow to specific crop needs.
