Accessories & parts

The small parts that keep a tote out of the scrapyard.

A leaking valve or cracked cap shouldn't retire a perfectly good tank. Our accessories and replacement parts extend service life — the cheapest, greenest upgrade there is.

Why parts matter

Repair beats replace — for your budget and the planet.

The most common reasons a tote is taken out of service are a failed valve, a missing cap, or a tired gasket — all inexpensive, fast fixes. Stocking a few spare parts can add years to a tote's life and avoid the carbon of a whole new container.

Valves

2" Butterfly & ball valves

Drop-in replacements for worn discharge valves — the #1 reason a tote leaves service early.

Adapters

Camlock & garden-hose adapters

Convert the S60×6 coarse thread to camlock, NPT, or standard garden hose for irrigation.

Caps

6" screw caps & vented lids

Sealed and vented top caps to control filling, breathing and contamination.

Gaskets

EPDM & Viton gaskets

Fresh seals for valves and caps; chemistry-matched elastomers on request.

Containment

Spill containment pallets

Secondary containment to meet SPCC best practices when storing liquids.

Bases

Replacement pallets & feet

Steel, composite and plastic bases to bring a damaged tote back to forkliftable shape.

Fit guidance

Not sure what thread you have?

Most IBC totes use a 2-inch S60×6 (coarse buttress) outlet and a 6-inch fill cap, but there are several variants. Tell us your brand or snap a photo and we'll match the right valve, adapter and gasket. Pair parts with a tote from our used stock or learn the basics in our anatomy guide.

Common specs

  • · Outlet: 2" S60×6 buttress (most common)
  • · Fill cap: 6" coarse thread
  • · Footprint: 48 × 40 in pallet
  • · Gaskets: EPDM standard, Viton on request
Which fitting do I need?

Start with the job, end with the right adapter.

Almost every IBC fitting question comes down to one thing: what are you connecting the 2-inch outlet to? Match your goal to a card below, then tell us your tote brand or send a photo of the valve and cap — we'll confirm the exact thread before anything ships.

Connect a garden hose

S60×6 → ¾" GHT adapter

Thread a standard garden, soaker or drip hose straight onto the 2-inch outlet for irrigation.

Quick-connect a pump

S60×6 → 2" camlock

Type A/C/F camlock couplers snap on and off for fast transfers and hose swaps.

Plumb rigid pipe

S60×6 → 2" NPT / BSP

Step down to threaded pipe for pumps, manifolds and permanent fill stations.

Stop a drip

2" butterfly valve + gasket

A worn valve or flat gasket is the #1 leak — both are quick, low-cost drop-in fixes.

Seal or vent the top

6" screw cap (solid or vented)

Solid caps seal for storage; vented caps equalize pressure while you dispense.

Replace a lost cap

6" coarse-thread lid + dust cap

Bring an open tote back to sealed, contamination-safe condition.

Gaskets — EPDM and Viton — cover nearly every chemistry.

48×40 in

Standard pallet footprint every base part fits.

Years

Of extra service life from a low-cost valve or gasket swap.

Seals & structural parts

Match the gasket to your chemistry, rebuild the cage to keep rolling.

The elastomer in your valve and cap is what stands between your product and a leak. EPDM is our standard; Viton (FKM) handles aggressive solvents and fuels. Compatibility notes below — and when in doubt, tell us the contents and we'll spec it.

Cage & pallet repair parts

Cage tube & corner repairs

Straightened tubes and welded sections to rebuild a bent or broken steel cage.

Pallet bases

Steel, composite and plastic 48 × 40 in bases to restore 4-way forklift entry.

Skids & feet

Replacement feet and runners for totes with a cracked or crushed base.

Gasket kits

EPDM standard or Viton on request, sized for the 2-inch valve and 6-inch cap.

Dust caps & plugs

Outlet dust caps keep grit and insects out of the valve between fills.

Vented breather caps

Let a tote breathe as it drains so the bottle doesn't collapse or glug.

If a bottle is cracked beyond saving, the steel and plastic still don't go to waste — we route it through our reconditioning & recycling line. Need dimensions before you order a base part? Check the size chart.

Parts & fittings FAQ

Common questions about tote parts.

What thread do most IBC totes use?
The large majority use a 2-inch S60×6 outlet — a 60 mm coarse buttress thread — paired with a 6-inch coarse-thread fill cap on top. Some brands use 9-inch or Mauser-style caps, so if you're unsure, send us a photo of the valve and lid and we'll confirm the exact match.
Can I put a standard garden hose on my IBC tote?
Yes — with the right adapter. The 2-inch S60×6 outlet steps down to a ¾-inch garden hose thread (GHT) so you can run a soaker, drip or standard garden hose for irrigation. We stock the adapter and the gasket it needs.
Should I choose an EPDM or Viton gasket?
EPDM is the standard seal and handles water, dilute acids and bases, alcohols and most aqueous solutions. Choose Viton (FKM) when the tote will hold fuels, oils, solvents or hydrocarbons. Tell us the chemistry and we'll match the elastomer.
My discharge valve leaks — do I need a whole new tote?
Almost never. A leaking valve or a tired gasket is the most common reason a tote is pulled from service, and both are inexpensive drop-in replacements on the S60×6 outlet. Swapping the valve is the cheapest, greenest upgrade you can make.
Do you sell cage and pallet repair parts separately?
Yes. We carry replacement pallet bases, feet, and cage repair sections so a structurally tired tote can be rebuilt to forkliftable, stackable condition rather than scrapped. If a bottle is cracked beyond saving, we route it to regrind through our recycling line.
What's the difference between a vented and a sealed cap?
A sealed 6-inch cap keeps contents closed for storage and transport. A vented cap has a valved breather that lets air in as liquid drains, so the bottle doesn't collapse or pour in glugs — useful for dispensing stations and gravity feeds.

Keep your fleet of totes running.
