Looking for some kind of IBC tote drop valve adapter

dwa336

Anyone know of where to find/who sells an adapter for ibc tote drop valves? Not sure if this exists anywhere or not online, I know someone who made their own somehow. Just need to be able to connect the ibc drop valve (on a plastic ibc tote) to a 1.5 in tri clamp fitted brew hose

They sell camlock - NPT adapters like this https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/2-female-part-b-camlock-x-2-male-npt-pipe-thread?infoParam.campaignId=T9Fgclid=EAIaIQobChMI7O-Z2OaK-wIV4PbjBx1MSgXbEAQYAiABEgJZzPD_BwE .
Then you can get NPT - TC adapters from somewhere like Glacier Tanks. You may need to get 2" NPT - 2" TC https://www.glaciertanks.com/tri-clamp-nps-and-npt-adapters-22mp-g200-200.html then a 2"TC - 1.5" TC reducer https://www.glaciertanks.com/tri-clamp-fittings-concentric-reducers-b3114mp-g200-150.html.

Yep.  We did exactly the same.  2" Female Camlock to Female NPT adapter, and screwed in a 2" NPT threaded to Triclamp adapter.  Easy to just reduce from there.
Go with a plastic (Poly) camlock adapter, NOT aluminum.
Dixon makes a fancy stainless unit, but I don't think you want to spend $200 on what should be $30 in parts.
