Description
A GEKA outlet with shut-off at the tank
Set up a twist-lock claw connection on your matching IBC, with a red lever valve to control the water supply. The extended swivel adapter helps position the valve in front of the tank outlet.
Three parts supplied: a plastic S60x6 adapter, a ½-inch BSP nickel-plated brass lever valve and a brass GEKA-style coupling.
Tank, existing tank valve, hose, mating hose coupling and sealing tape are separate.
Match the claw connection to your hose fitting
The brass outlet uses two opposing GEKA-style claws. Bring a matching hose-side claw coupling face to face with it, engage the claws and twist them into place. Keep the sealing faces clean and check their condition before connecting.
The ½-inch BSP thread is the threaded end that joins the coupling to the valve. It is not a hose-size instruction. Choose a mating GEKA-style fitting with the right hose tail or thread for your hose, and check that the claw profiles match.
For a ½-inch hose, our GEKA-style ½-inch hosetail connector is an optional hose-side fitting. Secure the hose appropriately and choose any clip for the hose's actual outside diameter.
Use the red lever to shut off the supply before disconnecting, then release trapped pressure. Separating the claws does not close the valve automatically. Available flow depends on water level, head and the connected hose; the valve does not boost pressure.
Check the tank end before ordering
The adapter needs a male S60x6 outlet on the IBC or its existing valve: nominally 60mm with a 6mm coarse pitch. Check the actual thread profile rather than relying on the tank's appearance.
The adapter's other end is ½-inch BSP female. The valve screws into that port with its male inlet; its female outlet accepts the male thread on the supplied brass claw fitting. These three components form the IBC021K kit.
The extended adapter is 100mm long overall, with a swivel arrangement to help position the valve. This measurement is the adapter's full length, not 100mm of extra installed clearance. Allow space for the lever and hose, and support attached pipework so it cannot pull sideways on the assembly.
Close the tank supply, inspect the adapter washer and start each thread square. Use suitable sealing at the BSP joints where required; PTFE tape is sold separately. Open the supply gradually and check the joints before use.
Hose connection questions
Does ½-inch BSP mean I must use a ½-inch hose?
No. It describes the threaded joints between the adapter, valve and outlet coupling. The mating GEKA-style hose fitting determines the hose connection. Select its tail or thread for your hose and confirm the claw profiles match.
Will an ordinary garden click connector fit the claws?
No. The outlet needs a matching GEKA-style claw coupling. A standard garden push-on connector will not latch directly onto it. A hose-side coupling, hose and PTFE tape are not included in this kit.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
