Butterfly valve 2 inches 70mm

2-inch 70mm butterfly valve (Reference: 10020070) represents the reference technical solution for equipping or renovating your 1000-liter IBC tanks. This high-performance flap valve, designed according to the most demanding industrial standards, guarantees perfect sealing and long service life for your storage installations.

Applications and benefits

This butterfly valve finds applications in many activity sectors. In agriculture and market gardening, it allows precise water flow control for irrigation, even under pressure from a full 1000-liter tank. Individuals use it to efficiently manage their rainwater reserves, with easy handling thanks to its ergonomic handle.

In the industrial sector, this valve constitutes an essential element for technical liquid management, offering clean and hermetic flow stoppage. Its flap mechanism prevents any waste and ensures optimal safety during draining or transfer operations.

Technical specifications and compatibility

Specifically designed for Schütz brand tanks, this valve stands out with its molded nut of 70mm internal diameter. This precise dimension ensures solid hold on the plastic bag neck of the reservoir. To identify compatibility with your existing equipment, verify that your original valve has an aluminum ring of 70mm internal diameter.

The High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) structure gives this valve excellent chemical inertness and efficient protection against UV rays. This technical material resists temperature variations and repeated handling, guaranteeing exceptional durability over time.

Installation and use

Installation of this butterfly valve is quick and requires no specialized tools. The 70mm molded nut screws directly onto your IBC tank neck, ensuring secure and watertight fixing. The ergonomic handle design allows easy handling, even with work gloves.

The male S60x6 outlet (2-inch artillery thread) respects the universal IBC tank standard, facilitating connection of all your usual accessories: taps, garden hoses, garden adapters or pumping systems. This standardization avoids any additional modification to your existing installation.

For maintenance, simple periodic cleaning with clear water is sufficient to maintain optimal valve performance. The internal flap mechanism requires no particular lubrication, reducing maintenance costs.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimize your installation, combine this butterfly valve with our S60x6 fittings available in different materials according to your use. Market gardening professionals often prefer a Camlock quick coupling to facilitate equipment changes according to seasons.

For rainwater storage, ensure to position the valve sufficiently high above ground to facilitate gravity flow. A minimum height of 30cm is recommended for optimal flow. For permanent installations, adding an IBC tank stand improves ergonomics and protects the valve from splashing.

Professional tip: during frost periods, completely close the valve and drain the lower part to avoid cracking risks. HDPE resists cold well, but frozen water can damage the internal mechanism.

For industrial applications requiring flow traceability, this valve can be completed with a flow meter or counting system adapted to S60x6 threading.
