An IBC adapter is a fitting that allows you to convert the tank's outlet – typically with an S60x6 thread – to other types of connections, such as BSP threads or hose connectors. It is used to easily connect the IBC tank to hoses, valves, or other equipment with different threading standards.

An IBC tank connection is a fitting or extension mounted on the tank’s outlet to enable smooth integration with hose systems. It may include nozzles, hose barbs, or complete connection kits, making it easier to control liquid flow or link the tank to other devices.

By carefully choosing the right accessories, you can optimize the functionality and safety of your IBC tank.

Identify the thread type on your tank: Most IBC tanks have an S60x6 thread, but it's important to confirm this before purchasing any accessories.
Determine the desired connection size: Depending on the equipment or hose you plan to connect, you may need adapters that convert to 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, or 2 inch BSP thread.
Consider material compatibility: Make sure the material of the adapter, connection, or valve is compatible with the liquid you are handling to avoid corrosion or contamination.
