Ibc adapters

[warksfarmer]

Any cute solutions for getting stuff out of ibc’s easily without wasteage? Got some with 2 inch openings. There’s an on/off tap and a screw on cover. In my experience these taps tend to leak once opened the first time.
Anybody seen screw on adapters with secondry taps? Or any other methods? I’ll be needing to remove around 180 litres per time as an average.

Only had one leak, which was a Manganese IBC - which has over time sealed itself. Got a "Free" IBC as a result.

The tops of 25 litre cans of Glysophate fit the IBC thread at the end of the tap fitting. So should screw on nicely to help if the IBC tap leaks.

IMHO have a few spare IBCs if you unfortunately have a tap which leaks and/or the cap doesn't stop the leak. We also put a tray/bucket under the IBC in use. Empty IBCs are cheap and useful - we store spare spray from the sprayer sometimes that way.

You can use an adapter to thread on a pipe for large transfers - don't forget to open the top cover to let the air in. We just tend to use a bucket for the sprayer.
