Female 2'' S60x6 - male 2'' BSP gas thread fitting

S60x6 female 2'' - BSP male 2'' adapter fitting CPP (Reference: 100137)

This technical fitting from CPP brand constitutes the ideal solution to efficiently connect your 1000 liter IBC tanks to standard piping installations. Designed in glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, it guarantees a secure and durable connection between the specific S60x6 thread of tanks and standard 2-inch BSP connections.

Applications and practical benefits

This adapter fitting finds its place in numerous professional and domestic applications. For irrigation, it allows direct connection of a garden hose or irrigation system to your IBC tank, eliminating the need for a pump in gravity-fed applications. Construction professionals use it to connect their storage tanks to water distribution systems or non-aggressive liquid products.

In the food and wine industry, this fitting facilitates liquid transfer between tanks and processing equipment. Homeowners appreciate its ease of installation for creating efficient rainwater harvesting systems or supplying automatic garden irrigation systems.

Technical specifications and materials

Manufactured in polypropylene filled with 30% glass fiber, this fitting exhibits high rigidity and excellent mechanical resistance. This composition gives the product exceptional durability against mechanical stress and thermal variations. Polypropylene is naturally corrosion-resistant and compatible with most non-aggressive liquids.

The S60x6 thread corresponds exactly to IBC tank valve standards with an external diameter of 60mm and 6mm pitch. On the outlet side, the 2-inch BSP male thread (50mm nominal diameter) ensures universal compatibility with standard piping. This dual adaptation allows installation without specific tools and guarantees perfect sealing.

Installation and implementation

Installing this adapter fitting requires no particular technical skills. First screw the S60x6 female part onto your IBC tank valve by hand-tightening then finishing with a suitable wrench to ensure sealing. Check that the valve seal is in good condition before assembly.

On the BSP male outlet, apply Teflon tape or sealing paste before screwing your piping or accessories. The BSP tapered thread ensures progressive sealing during tightening. For maintenance, periodic cleaning with clean water is sufficient. In case of freezing, completely drain the fitting to avoid cracking.

Expert advice and optimization

To optimize your installation, combine this fitting with a 2-inch BSP ball valve to control flow at the tank outlet. This combination allows quick and secure stopping of flow. Professionals recommend adding a pressure reducer if the tank height exceeds 2 meters to protect downstream equipment.

For permanent installations, provide piping support near the fitting to avoid mechanical stress on the thread. In outdoor environments, UV protection extends the fitting's lifespan. Avoid temperatures above 60°C which could alter polypropylene properties. This fitting integrates perfectly into a rainwater harvesting strategy or optimized water resource management.
