A practical IBC connection kit designed for tradespeople and site engineers who need a reliable, easy-to-assemble solution for liquid containment on Intermediate Bulk Containers. This kit combines an S60X6 cap with built-in BSPF thread, a full-flow PP ball valve, and a 20mm MDPE tee with ¾" BSP connections for versatile piping layouts. Kit contents
- IBC S60X6 Cap with ¾" BSP Thread (IBC S60X6CAP34BSPF)
- Large Plastic Valve ¾" BSP (VALVE34BSPM-F-LARGE)
- MDPE Tee 20mm – ¾" BSPM (MDPETEE20-34BSPM) What it does
- The S60X6 end cap provides a secure, leak‑preventing seal for IBC necks when paired with BSPF fittings. The built‑in BSPF thread allows straightforward connection to compatible components, reducing the risk of misthreading and cross‑threading on site.
- The Full Flow Single Union Ball Valve in polypropylene offers robust chemical resistance and smooth operation. Its BSPF–M thread arrangement supports easy integration into standard BSP-lined systems, enabling quick shut‑off or isolation of a circuit without disassembly.
- The MDPE tee supports branching a 20mm MDPE line at a 90‑degree angle, with ¾" BSP male threads to connect to either the valve or cap. MDPE fittings are common in water supply and irrigation work, offering a practical, cost‑effective method to extend or split a line while maintaining a tight seal. Key features and benefits
- Durable, compatible materials: PP for the valve and MDPE fittings ensure resistance to common chemicals and media encountered in handling liquids on site.
- Easy installation: union-style connections and standard BSP sizing make alignment straightforward, reducing on-site fiddling and downtime.
- 10 bar rating (PN10) for MDPE fittings: suitable for typical water and light industrial applications, helping you plan for pressure requirements without over-specifying.
- Versatile use cases: ideal for IBC batching stations, temporary or semi‑permanent installations, and agricultural or industrial fluid transfer where quick shut‑off and reliable flow control are needed. Practical tips
- Always use PTFE tape or appropriate thread sealant on BSP threads to enhance seals; tighten fittings to manufacturer guidelines to avoid leaks.
- Inspect O‑rings and seals during assembly and replace any damaged components before commissioning.
- Plan pipe routing to minimise bending stresses on MDPE connections and maintain accessible shut‑offs for maintenance.
