Female S75x6 - male 2'' BSP fitting

Female S75x6 - male 2'' BSP CPP fitting (Reference: 100351) represents the professional connection solution to efficiently connect your 1000 litre IBC tanks to water distribution systems. This conversion fitting, manufactured by CPP, a recognised specialist in plastic tank accessories, guarantees a reliable connection between the specific S75x6 thread of IBC tanks and BSP British standard installations widely used in industry.

Specific applications and uses

This fitting meets the concrete needs of individuals who use their IBC tanks for rainwater collection for garden watering, outdoor washing or feeding domestic irrigation systems. Agricultural professionals use it to connect their storage tanks to irrigation networks, spraying systems or equipment washing installations. In the industrial sector, it allows integration of IBC tanks into cooling, cleaning or process circuits requiring non-potable water supply.

Its female S75x6 to male 2'' BSP design makes it the perfect interface between the IBC tank universe and that of standard professional fittings. Installers and plumbers appreciate this direct compatibility with their usual tools and BSP standard fittings, thus avoiding complex and costly adaptations.

Technical specifications and materials

Manufactured in high quality polypropylene, this fitting presents excellent resistance to chemical agents commonly present in rainwater, UV and thermal variations. Polypropylene, unlike polyethylene, offers superior rigidity and better durability over time, particularly suitable for pressure constraints and frequent handling of professional installations.

The female S75x6 thread corresponds exactly to standardised IBC tank outlet dimensions, with a 6 mm pitch guaranteeing progressive and watertight tightening. On the outlet side, the male 2'' BSP thread (British Standard Pipe) strictly complies with ISO 228-1 standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with all professional market fittings, valves and accessories.

With a weight of only 14 grams, this fitting remains lightweight while maintaining the robustness necessary for intensive applications. Its compact dimensions facilitate installation even in restricted spaces or during series mounting.

Installation and implementation

The fitting installs directly onto the male S75x6 outlet of your IBC tank, without requiring specialised tools. Hand tightening followed by a quarter turn with a flat wrench is generally sufficient to obtain perfect sealing. It is recommended to apply a suitable seal (Teflon or paste) to the male BSP thread before connecting your equipment.

For temporary installations, this fitting allows easy dismounting and remounting without thread deterioration. Mobile professionals (landscape contractors, maintenance services) appreciate this flexibility to quickly adapt their equipment according to job sites.

Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning with clean water to eliminate limestone or organic deposits. In case of prolonged storage, the fitting should be completely drained to avoid any risk of frost that could damage the polypropylene despite its good cold resistance.

Expert advice and installation optimisation

To maximise the lifespan of your installations, combine this fitting with a 2'' BSP shut-off valve that will allow you to isolate the tank during maintenance operations. Experienced professionals also recommend installing a coarse filter downstream of the fitting to protect sensitive equipment from suspended particles.

In limestone regions, plan six-monthly descaling of fittings to maintain optimal flow rates. Using a polypropylene-compatible descaling product will avoid any material deterioration.

For intensive agricultural installations, this fitting integrates perfectly into gravity distribution systems or moderate pressure systems. It can be combined with irrigation timers, surface pumps or drip irrigation systems to create complete and automated installations.

Confirmed installers favour using stainless steel clamps on flexible connections to guarantee durable sealing, particularly important in humid or corrosive environments.
