They are a 50mm threaded fitting that screws on to the IBC thread and has a 50mm BSB Female thread, you can get them from that big plumbing supplier starting with R. I only know because they sent me one by accident when I had ordered something completely different, but thats not unusual for them! |

There may be others? I have one threaded part which fits the IBC (Schutz S60 x 6 x 2 FBSP Adaptor, $11.50) and a second part which has a standard plumbing-PVC thread screws into this (2 x 1 1/2 Poly Reducing Bush, $3.35). I then employ a "standard" PVC 50mm threaded coupling from there... tomorrow I might be able to provide some pics for you (depending on what time I get home from work) If you need pics, then just shout and I will take some tomorrow when the sun is up!

Here is one of mine.  It is just the spout from the ibc cut to where it goes straight and a 40mm plumb quick connection. Not the 50mm you wanted but the internal of the spout is close to the 40mm internal. You can get the plumb quick in a 40 to 50mm reducer but a 40 to 50mm reducing socket would do the same thing. |

I just filed down the thread and with the aid of silicone bashed on a 50mm DWV coupler, then do your normal plumbing. On eight tanks has been there for 2 years and no leaks. |

That would be time consuming to file down that many threaded outlets and the fittings would be somewhere on par with the price of a rubber "plumbquick" or "fernco" you have used there. |

Looking around evilBay for water tanks to use as FT today, I found these Rupert http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1000L-IBC-wa ... 519b8b6ef3 and another without reducer http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1000L-IBC-wa ... 2563f3257e |

Yep thats them, without the reducer would be the way to go for an SLO just get a 50mm hex nipple, a 50mm F.I. Elbow and a riser of poly or pressure pvc or DWV PVC and your there for an SLO. |

Thinking of doing this on my IBC, though wonder how you stop fish going into the pipe - did you attach a screen to the inside of the IBC somehow? |
