What is an IBC adapter used for?
IBC adapters connect tote valves to hoses, pumps, spray equipment, and dispensing systems when thread styles or connection types do not match. They help create a secure connection while improving the efficiency of liquid transfer operations.
How do I know if my IBC tote has a buttress or NPT valve?
Buttress threads are commonly found on IBC totes and feature a wider thread profile, while NPT threads use a tapered pipe thread design. Identifying the valve style is the first step in selecting the correct adapter for your application.
What is a camlock fitting and why is it used on IBC totes?
Camlock fittings, also called quick disconnect fittings, allow hoses and accessories to be connected and removed quickly without tools. They are commonly used on IBC dispensing systems because they simplify hose changes and help reduce spills during transfer.
Choosing the correct IBC adapter helps improve compatibility, reduce leaks, and streamline liquid handling operations. Whether you need a camlock fitting, thread converter, hose adapter, or specialty connection, BASCO offers a wide selection of IBC adapters and tote fittings to help you build the dispensing system that works best for your application.
