Description
Take your tank supply into MDPE pipe
Build two pipe runs from one IBC outlet with this S60x6 lever valve and 20mm compression tee kit. The grey compression nuts connect to suitable MDPE pipe, giving you a pipework connection rather than a garden hose click fitting.
A single red lever opens or closes the supply to both branches. The compact black tank cap fits a matching S60x6 male outlet.
Cap, plated brass valve and compression tee supplied. Pipe, pipe supports, any required pipe inserts, tank and PTFE tape are separate.
Three parts, ready to connect your pipework
The cap has a ¾-inch BSP female port. It accepts the lever valve's male inlet; the valve's female outlet then accepts the tee's matching male branch.
The tee places a compression socket on each side of the common supply. It can feed two suitable pipe runs, but does not switch them independently. Add suitable separate controls in your pipework if each branch needs its own shutoff.
This is a connection and manual shutoff kit, not a pump. Available flow depends on the tank's water level, pipe runs and connected equipment. Check that your watering system can operate with the available tank head.
The supplied kit is IBC001E. The IBC, existing tank valve, pipework, supports, inserts and sealing tape shown or discussed are not part of the kit.
Match the pipe size, then the tank thread
20mm refers to the MDPE pipe's outside diameter. It is not a 20mm internal hose bore, and ordinary flexible garden hose is not a direct substitute for the correct pipe.
The tee's ¾-inch BSP male branch is a different connection. Its thread measures about 26.4mm across the outer crests, as shown in the product diagram; that figure is not the pipe size.
At the tank, check for a matching male S60x6 outlet: nominally 60mm with a 6mm coarse pitch. This kit uses a compact cap, so check the lever and pipework have enough clearance before fitting.
Prepare the connections before opening the tank
Prepare suitable pipe
Cut the correct MDPE pipe square and clean. Follow the pipe and fitting guidance for insertion depth and any required pipe liner or support insert. These are not included.
Fit and support
Close the tank supply before assembly. Start BSP threads square and use appropriate thread sealing where needed. Support both pipe runs so their weight does not pull on the tank outlet. PTFE tape is sold separately.
Check the assembly
Allow clearance for the lever, open the water gradually and inspect each joint. Protect pipework as its manufacturer requires. Close the supply and release trapped pressure before disconnecting.
Before you choose this kit
Will it connect directly to my garden hose?
No. The grey compression connections are for suitable 20mm MDPE pipe. They are not hose barbs or garden quick connectors. A garden hose needs its own suitable transition fitting; choose a hose-outlet kit instead if that is the connection you need.
Does each outlet have its own valve?
No. One lever valve controls the common supply to both compression outlets. Separate branch valves are not included, and the tee does not guarantee an equal flow through both runs.

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.
