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
