On ibcparts.eu you will find a wide selection of fittings for IBC tanks – whether you are looking for a reducer, adapter, connector, tank cap, IBC reducer or hose connection.
As these products are often searched for under different names, it is important to understand that they are essentially all adapters for IBC containers, designed to ensure a safe and correct connection of hoses, taps, valves or other systems.

This guide helps you to:

  • first determine which thread type your IBC tank has,
  • then choose the correct type of reducer or adapter according to your application.

Step 1: Which thread does your IBC tank have?

Before purchasing, it is ESSENTIAL to check the thread on the tank outlet.
👉 How to identify the thread of an IBC tank

The most common IBC tank thread types are:

S60x6 (most common), S100x8, S75x6, S80x6, S92x4, M80, 60 mm (2” fine thread), 63 mm (2 1/8” fine internal thread), CAMLOCK, DH 63 mm (external thread), Kingtainer (China), flange (Werit).

Once you know the thread type, choosing the right fitting is easy.

S60x6 – The widest selection of fittings for IBC tanks – how to choose the right one

S60x6 is the standard thread on most IBC tanks, which is why this category offers the widest range – from basic to professional solutions.

  • SOL reducers – the most affordable adapters for simple connections, suitable for light-duty applications, female thread, PE seal.
  • ECO reducers – cost-effective IBC adapters with internal threads and an EPDM seal.
  • AVA reducers – heavy-duty adapters with external threads and an EPDM seal, designed for more demanding applications.
  • BRIX reducers – a solution for less common internal and external thread types (e.g. 5/4″), EPDM seal.
  • COMBO S60 reducers – the widest selection of internal and external thread options for S60, two-piece design, EPDM seal.
  • PRO S60 reducers – very robust adapters, certified for food contact, internal thread, NB/SB seal.
  • VORTEX reducers – rotating adapters with a wide range of internal and external thread combinations, two-piece design, EPDM seal.

In addition to the reducer groups described above, we also offer other S60 IBC fittings, such as caps, elbows, camlock couplings, extensions, as well as rotating, standard and fire hose C adapters. These are used for closing the tank, quick hose connection or adapting the outlet, but are not described in detail here, as the focus is on the differences between the reducer groups.
