Male push-fit profile for a compatible Hozelock/Gardena-type garden hose connector. The ½″ (12.5mm) designation describes the hose connector size, not a BSP pipe thread.
IBC compatibility
Fits standard S60X6 male IBC outlets, including SCHÜTZ S60X6 outlets. Suitable for selected WERIT, MAUSER, Mamor and Sotralentz tanks when fitted with a matching S60X6 male outlet and suitable sealing face.

Thread specification
S60X6 buttress, manufactured to the applicable thread dimensions and tolerances of BS EN 12713.
Working pressure and testing
Maximum working pressure for IBC applications: 1 bar (approximately 15 psi) at 20°C.
Pressure testing: Tested to 60 psi (approximately 4.1 bar).
These pressures apply to the adaptor only. Follow the IBC tank and valve manufacturer’s operating limits; the adaptor rating does not authorise pressurising the IBC.
Installation Notes
- Ensure the IBC outlet thread and sealing face are clean and undamaged, and the correct gasket is seated properly.
- Hand-tighten the S60X6 female connection until the gasket sits firmly against the IBC valve outlet.
- Using a suitable wrench or strap wrench, tighten a further 30° minimum to 60° maximum.
Avoid overtightening, which can damage the threads, distort the gasket or cause leakage. Release pressure before disconnecting.
Material and application guidance
Check the CPP® chemical resistance guide and Material Application Statement for suitability with your liquid and operating conditions.
