Convert an IBC or other container with a matching 2″ NPS male outlet to an S60X6 short male buttress connection. This CPP® adaptor provides a compact connection for a matching S60X6 female fitting, for dispensing water and other compatible liquids.
What does Easy-Seal mean?
The 2″ NPS female Easy-Seal connection comes complete with a sealing gasket. As the adaptor is tightened, the gasket compresses against the mating outlet’s sealing face. The straight thread holds the connection together; the gasket provides the seal.
No thread-sealing tape or paste is needed on this NPS Easy-Seal connection when fitted to a matching outlet with a suitable sealing face. Conventional NPT threaded joints use tapered threads and normally require suitable sealing tape or compound.

Thread and connection compatibility
NPS means National Pipe Straight. The container side fits a matching 2″ NPS male thread with a suitable sealing face for the supplied gasket.
The other side is S60X6 male and connects to an S60X6 female fitting. Check that the receiving fitting suits the short male thread and can seat its gasket correctly. NPS and S60X6 are different thread forms; check both connections before ordering.
Working pressure and testing
Maximum working pressure for IBC applications: 1 bar (approximately 15 psi) at 20°C.
Pressure testing: Tested to 60 psi (approximately 4.1 bar).
These pressures apply to the adaptor only. Follow the IBC tank and valve manufacturer’s operating limits; the adaptor rating does not authorise pressurising the IBC.
Installation Notes
- Close the container valve and ensure the outlet is depressurised before fitting or removing the adaptor.
- Check that both connections, sealing faces and gaskets are clean and undamaged. Seat the NPS gasket correctly inside the adaptor.
- Hand-tighten the 2″ NPS female connection onto the matching male outlet until the gasket contacts the sealing face.
- On the NPS side, tighten a further 80° minimum to 160° maximum after gasket contact. Use a suitable strap wrench where necessary. Do not exceed 160°.
- Fit the matching S60X6 female fitting with its correct gasket. For a compatible CPP® S60X6 female fitting, hand-tighten until the gasket is seated, then tighten a further 30° minimum to 60° maximum using suitable tools.
- Support connected hoses or pipework to reduce strain on the adaptor and container valve. Check for leakage under the intended operating conditions before use.
Avoid overtightening, which can damage the threads, distort the gasket or cause leakage. Release pressure before disconnecting.
