2'' Type A Ball Valve with 70mm Floating Nut for Schutz Tank

2'' Type A Ball Valve with 70mm Floating Nut for Schutz Tank (Reference: 10020270)

This high-performance ball valve represents the ideal technical solution for securing and optimizing your water storage installation on 1000-liter IBC tanks. Specifically designed to meet Schutz standards, it offers perfect sealing and exceptional durability for all your rainwater harvesting, irrigation or industrial storage projects.

Applications and Benefits

This ball valve is suitable for both individuals and professionals with Schutz IBC tanks. It constitutes the perfect replacement solution in case of leakage on your original valve, thus avoiding the costly replacement of the entire plastic bladder. Market gardeners, farmers and green space managers adopt it to secure their irrigation water reserves.

In domestic context, it proves essential for rainwater harvesting systems, allowing precise control of output flow. Its robustness guarantees reliable operation even under the pressure of a full 1000-liter tank, offering optimal safety for your storage installations.

Technical Specifications and Innovation

Made of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), this valve perfectly resists impacts, UV rays and temperature variations. Its 70mm inner diameter aluminum floating nut constitutes its major innovation: it allows easy screwing on the tank bladder without twisting the valve body.

The ball mechanism offers maximum sealing, superior to conventional check valves, and increased durability against repeated handling. The standard S60X6 male (2'' artillery thread) outlet ensures universal compatibility with all fittings, taps or garden hoses on the market. This standardization greatly simplifies adaptation to your existing installations.

Installation and Use

Installing this valve requires checking compatibility with your Schutz tank beforehand. Your original valve must have an aluminum mounting ring with 70mm inner diameter (measurement taken at thread level). Once this compatibility is confirmed, the rear nut attaches directly to the plastic bladder of the tank.

The ergonomic handle allows precise opening and closing of the outlet flow. In closed position, the ball ensures total sealing, while in open position, it offers optimal flow. For maintenance, regular cleaning with clear water is sufficient to maintain its performance. In case of frost, make sure to drain the valve to avoid any damage.

Expert Advice and Synergies

To optimize your installation, combine this valve with our Camlock or Express fittings according to your quick connection needs. Vegetable growing professionals particularly appreciate its robustness: the aluminum nut never loosens, even under the constant pressure of a full tank.

Avoid common mistakes: never force when screwing and always check the condition of the seal before installation. For seasonal installations, this valve allows easy dismantling at the end of the season. In industrial context, its chemical resistance is suitable for storing many non-aggressive liquids. Consider completing your installation with our flexible hoses and professional quality fittings for a complete and durable solution.
