The best IBC water tank is only worth as much as its accessories. What sounds a little melodramatic at first quickly proves to be true in practice, because only the IBC accessories turn an IBC into a really usable water tank.
After all, without a tap, hose and spout, you cannot access the collected rainwater. The threaded adapter is an important tool for connecting two components of the IBC tank.
With an IBC thread adapter, you can quickly and easily bring your intermediate bulk container to the desired output standard. An IBC adapter is a connecting piece that compensates for size differences and connects the tank to a hose, for example. One of the most common IBC thread adapters is the S60x6 coarse thread to fine thread adapter.
However, you can also find high-quality drum adapters in other dimensions in our online store. read more
Suitable adapter for various vessels such as IBC containers, drums with bunghole and for corresponding canisters. The adapter is adapted from an S56x4 coarse thread (external thread) to a G2 inch internal thread (fine thread) in order to easily attach additional screw connections. The typical drum thread with S56x4 (also known as the "TriSure coarse thread") has always been used increasingly in the field of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). This thread is often used for bung openings in IBC lids. It is primarily used to screw on degassing valves or to attach riser pipes. With this adapter from S56x4 to G2" fine thread, almost any other screw connections, outlet taps, inlets or combinations can be implemented.
IBC adapter with a tank-side connection dimension S60x6 and as outlet a 0.5" fine thread - coarse thread for the screw connection with further accessories and pipes. The S60x6 thread is the most common thread in the field of IBC containers. The thread is installed as standard by almost all manufacturers.
Our IBC thread adapter with a standard S60x6 thread (coarse thread - internal thread) as connection to the tank and a 0.5" fine thread - internal thread for further connection of IBC accessories.
Our IBC thread adapter with standard dimension S60x6 (internal thread - coarse thread) for connection to an IBC outlet valve and a 0.75" fine thread ET as outlet for further connections with accessories on an IBC container.
IBC thread adapter in standard variant for reducing a S60x6 coarse thread (internal thread) to a 0.75" fine thread (internal thread). The adapter is made of PE plastic and has a PE foam gasket.
IBC thread adapter made of PP plastic and with a PE foam gasket is ideally suited to reduce from a common S60x6 coarse thread to a 0.75" fine thread. The professional version with a freely rotatable union nut (anti-twist protection) facilitates the assembly enormously.
The most common thread of the IBC outlet valves on the outlet side is the S60x6 (2" / DN50) coarse thread - external thread. For further connections, our IBC thread adapter is ideally suited, which has the same S60x6 coarse thread - internal thread as a connection to the IBC outlet valve. On the outlet side, the adapter has a G1" fine thread. This external thread is ideal for screwing on other accessories and adapters.The 1" fine thread offers stable hold and sufficient flow for standard plug-in couplings / click systems, claw couplings, pipe connections and much more. In case of sealing problems in connection with other adapters or connections, it is recommended to additionally seal the fine thread with PTFE tape or hemp. So if you want to remain flexible with the connection options to the IBC container and do not insist on ready-made IBC hose adapters, for example, the G1" IBC adapter is the best choice. The change of the respective connections is done by simply unscrewing and screwing on the firmly screwed IBC adapter, which remains fixed to the tap itself.
Our IBC adapter is the optimal problem solver to adapt from a S100x8 coarse thread at the IBC outlet dimension to a 2" fine thread (external thread). Thus you can directly connect further connections with a fine thread.
Our IBC thread adapter has the standard dimension S60x6 (coarse thread - internal thread) as connection to an IBC outlet valve, which is already mounted ex works. On the outlet side, it has a 2" fine thread (external thread) for the connection of many other accessories such as piping.Thanks to the sturdy PP plastic, the adapter can be neatly screwed to the IBC valve and further connections to the IBC are no problem. In the 2 inch size, the maximum flow is guaranteed, which means that even large pipe and hose diameters can be connected to the container.A common application example is Storz couplings, also known as fire couplings, which in most cases have a fine thread as a connection thread. Especially here, large flow rates are required, which is why the IBC adapter variant to G2" fine thread is a good choice and at the same time leaves open the possibility of mounting other connections with the same thread.Alternatively, however, an IBC Storz direct connection can also be found in our online shop.
Our thread adapter for IBC containers has a connection dimension of S60x6 (2" / DN50) and a 2" fine thread as outlet for further screw connections and connections such as pipes.
IBC containers that find their primary use in industry are partly equipped with so-called "camlock valves". This quick-change system offers many advantages in production.However, when adapting to the IBC standard thread S60x6, problems often occur. Camlock valves have a short fine thread at the outlet to be closed with a screw cap, e.g. for transport.This fine thread is available in two different sizes, depending on the manufacturer: 2 inch or 2 1/8 inch. The difference is hardly to see and also only clear with exact measuring.This IBC adapter allows a thread change from 2 1/8 inch to the IBC thread S60x6, in order to be able to attach any other screw connections.
There are IBC containers which are equipped with different coarse and fine thread types. This IBC Adapter is ideal for adapting from a 2" fine thread IT to the standard size S60x6 (coarse thread - external thread).Attention: This thread adapter does not fit on most camlock valves! These usually have a 2 1/8" fine thread!
This IBC thread adapter is specially designed for IBC containers with a fine thread M80x3 at the outlet of the IBC outlet valve. Our special adapter is suitable for Chinese IBC containers, so-called KingTainer.The IBC adapter is reduced to the standard dimension S60x6 (2" / DN50) to screw on further accessories without any problems. At the same time, the coarse thread (external thread) as an outlet ensures a stable hold and is very resistant.Note: The IBC adapter is supplied without gasket.
There are a variety of different IBC containers on the market. Often IBC tanks have an outlet size at the tap of S100x8. Since most adapters have the standard dimension S60x6, it becomes difficult to connect adapters to a larger diameter. To reduce to the standard thread S60x6, this adapter is the perfect problem solver! We always recommend a reduction to the standardized thread S60x6 as long as you do not need a larger flow.
Outlet size:
0,75" fine thread - internal thread (HDPE)
Our IBC adapter as a full material HDPE variant with a S60x6 coarse thread for connection to an IBC outlet valve reduced to a 0.75" fine thread on the outlet side. Ideal as a connection for heavy duty screw fittings as well as for operational use.The IBC thread adapter is machined from HDPE plastic. The material is very thick-walled and therefore also very resistant to external influences. In addition, the HDPE adapter has a long service life.
IBC containers often have a so-called camlock valve as the IBC outlet valve. Camlock valves differ in that they have a 2.125" (2 1/8") fine thread as an outlet.When mounting a standard 2" fine thread adapter to a camlock valve, problems often occur despite the small difference in size of the fine thread. This IBC adapter made of HDPE plastic is the problem solver and is specially designed for Camlock valves.
Our IBC spacer is made of very thick-walled HDPE solid material and is therefore very resistant and stable. The HDPE plastic with a wall thickness of 16mm / 0.63" allows direct mounting of the IBC outlet extension to the inner container. You can also screw the spacer directly to the IBC outlet valve. On the outlet side and tank side, the extension has a coarse thread S60x6 (internal thread x external thread).

On the outlet side, a freely rotatable union nut (anti-rotation protection) is attached, this facilitates the assembly and ensures a straight position of the tap.
Our IBC spacer has a S60x6 coarse thread on both sides and a fixed connecting nut on the tank side. The perfect problem solver to extend the outlet of their IBC outlet valve and additionally mount other accessories. The outlet extension is 11cm / 4.33" long.Note: No direct mounting on the IBC inner tank! Always starting from the outlet valve! An attachment between inner container and IBC outlet valve does not withstand this spacer!
Our spacer is also available in the pro version with a freely rotatable union nut for convenient mounting. Thanks to the anti-rotation protection (union nut), you can bring the extension incl. continuing adapter in the desired position, avoid slanted connections and the adapter does not have to be overtightened.

This is why an IBC thread adapter is necessary
Basically, an IBC tank is equipped with a spout and a corresponding valve. However, if frequent use causes wear and tear, the valve must be replaced. A thread adapter helps to bring the different connection sizes of the IBC outlet tap and accessories to a common denominator.
How do I determine the IBC connection size?
You can easily determine the connection size of the outlet nozzle by looking at the product information for your container IBC tank. If this is no longer available, you can also measure the connection size yourself.
For results accurate to the millimeter, it is best to use a length measuring device such as the caliper gauge. It is important that you measure both the outer diameter of the outlet nozzle and the pitch between the threads. If you are unsure, we recommend using IBC outlet taps from the manufacturer.
These IBC thread adapters are available essentially
A distinction is made between a coarse thread and a fine thread.
Adapters can be used to reduce a coarse thread to a fine thread or, conversely, to extend a fine thread to a coarse thread. The most common IBC adapters include the S60x6 thread with an outlet dimension to a 2" or 0.75" fine thread. An S100x8 coarse thread with adaptation to a 2" fine thread is also used for IBC containers.
We offer thread adapters made of sturdy PP plastic and with a PE foam seal. To make installation on the container easier for you, we also offer professional adapters with a freely rotating union nut.
Spacer
A spacer is also an adapter and extends the container outlet. Our IBC spacers are ideal for straight extensions of the tap so that the liquid can be removed effortlessly. Discover our high-quality double-sided outlet extensions with S60x6 coarse thread or an extension with 0.75 inch fine thread.
Gasket
An outdated gasket often leads to leaks in the IBC container. In this case, a new gasket provides a remedy. We supply universal rubber gaskets in a practical set of 5. The professional gaskets fit all S60x6 internal threads as well as some other 2" internal threads.
Connect a wide range of IBC accessories with adapters
IBC tanks are made to be extended with adapters and connections. For example, a ball valve with integrated garden hose coupling is suitable for easy water withdrawal.
Another useful IBC tank accessory is the stopcock, which prevents water from dripping out of the rain barrel. There are also many other IBC connections that prove to be a real blessing when watering the garden. For example, adapters with claw couplings are real problem solvers when it comes to connecting garden hoses for irrigation to the IBC container tank.
