Product Information
Full details
The IBC Storage Tank Fitting S60x60 is designed for homeowners and gardeners who need a reliable way to connect a standard garden hose to an IBC tote or liquid storage tank. This set provides a secure, leak-free transition from the coarse tank outlet to common irrigation hardware, though it is specifically engineered for S60x60 thread patterns and may not be compatible with non-standard tank valves.

FAQs
Will this fit all IBC tanks?
It is designed for standard IBC tanks with S60x60 coarse threads. It will not fit tanks with fine-thread outlets or non-standard valve sizes.
Do I need tools to install this?
No, the fitting is designed to be hand-tightened. Using tools may cause damage to the plastic threads.
Can this be used for potable water?
The material is intended for standard liquid storage, but you should verify the specific material grade if using for human consumption applications.
Does it include the hose connector?
The fitting features a quick-connect mechanism designed to accept standard garden hose quick connectors.
Is this resistant to sunlight?
The fittings are constructed from high-quality, durable materials meant for outdoor use, though long-term exposure to intense UV light may eventually degrade any plastic component.
Troubleshooting
Fitting leaks at the connection point
Ensure the internal gasket is present and properly seated. If the leak persists, verify that the fitting is not cross-threaded.
Fitting does not screw onto the tank valve
Confirm that your tank valve is indeed an S60x60 coarse thread; it will not fit fine-thread or non-standard metric valves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first ensure your IBC valve features the S60x60 (coarse) thread pattern. Align the fitting squarely with the valve outlet and rotate clockwise until hand-tight; do not use excessive force or pipe wrenches, as this can strip the plastic threads. For maintenance, periodically inspect the internal gasket for debris or signs of wear, especially if you move the fitting between different tanks. If the connection becomes loose over time, check for sediment buildup inside the threads and rinse with clean water to restore a proper seal.
