We're showing how we're converting our IBC totes so that we can access the water and even attach a garden hose to it.
Our off-grid first flush totes from our rainwater harvesting system were filled to the brim with the last monsoon rains we got. We needed this attachment asap.

When you have a fitting that tightens in clockwise, you need to put the tape on the fitting in a clockwise direction so that it won't try to unwind as you tighten. Also, with Teflon tape going into a plastic thread, be careful about tightening too much. It's easy to crack fittings that way. I only use thread sealant on plastic, or brass for that matter. You can always tighten or reseal, but once you crack, you can never go back.

Such a joy watching Jessica fill the jugs with lovely clean water for the plants and wild life, rain water is the best made me realise that if the water dish I kept in the enclosure for my veg patch for the birds was on the outside the odd Ferrell rabbits that got into my garden would not bite into the hose pipe to get water .Thanks for that tip well-done thanks for the video's

I had to use similar fittings on my rain tote because the plastic ball valve in the tote broke. They are not really meant for long term use so something like this fitting is a MUST.

@fortwoods
@fortwoods Год назад
As others pointed out, there are a lot of different fittings for those IBC totes, worse some fittings just leak. The gator locks are pretty good but you still need to add fittings. If you have a bunch of tanks like I do, it can be hundreds of dollars on fittings. I discovered a cheaper way. Get a 3/4 uniseal. They cost about $3, use a 1 1/4 Holesaw, make hole and attach your uniseal with a length of 3/4 PVC. Attach your tap on the outside of the PVC pipe and you are done.

@ourselfreliantlife

It does work well and is holding up. The reason for the cam loc I believe the unique outlets on the IBC totes. They need to grip onto the skinny neck.

IBC totes have different kinds of fittings depending on the ball valve, the one in the video was a cam lock. I've seen them with 2 inch NPT and 2 inch Buttress threads. Basically when you get your tote, you'll have to look at your connection.
