You should`nt need to drill anything,all you need are the ibc outlet connectors with a hozelock fitting on them like on ebay with a length of hose inbetween ;)

Are you looking for the tail that comes out of the screw top. If so I have about four of them. What is it for

Hi Rob,
I have two connectors one on each ibc they each have a red handle and white bases and a thread , I something to screw on these as need to go from one ibc to the other with inch house (approx), I transfer pump water out of one but I need the flow as pump sucks out water very quick,
-
On the thread end of the tap connector you can screw a tail onto them. Mine have all come with the tail - about 6 inches long (no comments please!!!) but they are wider than 25mm.

i guess you use a sub pump to move the water to your van / s
so why not just connect some hose from the IBC taps, open the taps and you have them connected
job done

I dont think they would flow fast enough between the 2, I have to empty and fill 1300L in about 20 mins

your IBC tap will be 1" output, so use a 1" pipe, have a go, all you need is the 1" pipe that you can buy by the meter at B&Q

are i see
measure the thread on the IBC tanks
pop along to " plumb center " or whatever your local plumbing place is called
ask them for a fitting to screw into it, you will then be able to connect the pipe to that fitting, you might need the fittings to reduce the pipe to something you can fit a hose over, the bigger the dia the better though

I showed them the whole tap from the ibs and they said they did not stock anything that would fit, is it on the diy site pics etc ?

no, it was done via PM's
from what i remmber it was a brass fitting into the IBC threaded hole and then a plastic barbed fitting off that
measure the size of the thread, at least you will have some idea on what you need
-
a little research shows that IBC's come with 2 or 3 " outlets
take pic and show me what you have now and i will see what i can find

Hi Matt,

These people supply second hand IBC's
I bought one and they sent me a selection of spouts and fittings to join it to my existing one.
