Female 2'' S60x6 - male 1-1/2'' gas thread fitting

Female 2'' S60x6 - Male 1-1/2'' Gas Thread Fitting (Reference: 100136) from CPP brand represents the ideal solution for connecting your 1000-liter IBC tanks to irrigation systems or professional hydraulic equipment. This high-performance adapter fitting combines the robustness of reinforced polypropylene with the precision of standardized S60x6 and BSP threads.

Specific applications and uses

This adapter fitting is primarily aimed at 1000L IBC tank owners looking to optimize their water reserve usage. It finds its place in numerous configurations: domestic gardening with direct hose connections, agricultural installations for irrigation, industrial applications requiring diameter changes, or rainwater harvesting systems.

Landscape professionals frequently use it to create mobile irrigation stations, while farmers integrate it into their drip irrigation circuits. Municipalities also adopt it for their green spaces, enabling autonomous irrigation management from stored water reserves.

Material innovation and technical specifications

The composition of polypropylene filled with 30% glass fiber gives this fitting exceptional mechanical properties. This reinforcement filler considerably improves rigidity, impact resistance, and product lifespan, even under intensive use conditions.

The female S60x6 thread (60mm diameter, 6mm pitch) strictly complies with the European IBC tank standard, guaranteeing perfect assembly with standard valves. The male BSP 1-1/2'' (38mm) thread ensures optimal compatibility with the professional fitting and piping ecosystem.

The technical design prioritizes sealing through precise thread profiles and optimized surface finish. The chemical resistance of polypropylene allows use with a wide range of liquids: clear water, nutrient solutions, diluted liquid fertilizers, and even certain plant protection products depending on concentrations.

Installation and practical implementation

Installing this adapter fitting requires no specialized tools. Simply screw the female S60x6 part onto your IBC tank valve using firm manual tightening without excess to preserve the threads. Using a strap wrench can facilitate the operation if necessary.

For the BSP 1-1/2'' side connection, use PTFE tape or hemp to guarantee sealing according to good plumbing practices. Ensure you respect the mounting direction and avoid forcing during screwing to prevent any risk of cracking.

Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning with clear water and visual inspection of thread condition. When using with fertilizing products, rinsing after use significantly extends service life. Disassembly for winter storage is not mandatory, as polypropylene perfectly resists freeze-thaw cycles.

Expert advice and system optimizations

To maximize your installation efficiency, combine this fitting with a BSP 1-1/2'' shut-off valve that will allow you to precisely control flow rate. Adding a pressure reducer is advisable if your tank is elevated, thus protecting your downstream irrigation equipment.

Experienced professionals recommend installing an upstream filter to preserve water quality and protect drip irrigation systems. A quarter-turn valve at the outlet facilitates frequent opening/closing operations.

Seasonal tip: in autumn, completely drain the fitting after use to avoid water stagnation that could promote algae development. In spring, check sealing before putting back into service and take the opportunity to clean threads with a soft brush.

Mistake to avoid: never attempt to adapt this fitting to non-compliant S60x6 threads, at the risk of permanently damaging your IBC tank valve. Always check compatibility before purchase.
