whiskeytango Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 OK This maybe a dumb question so if it is give me a dumb answer. But I'm asking anyway. I have a couple GNS totes the ICB kind that i want to use as fermenters. The problem is i cant figure out what thread type the outlet is. I thought it was just a standard thread but i got a stainless 2" tri clamp to Female NPT thinking it would thread on but it won't go on. Is the thread on the tote specific? Im pretty sure I'm twisting it the right direction lol!! Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDrunkenBird Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Try a camlock to sanitary fitting adapter. I have gotten totes from a few different sources and they are always different threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the 2" tri clamp to Female NPT that i have that i cant get to thread onto the tote to the hardware store and was able to thread all the standard NPT stuff into it. As well as all the cam lock fittings so I'm thinking that a camlock won't go on either since it threads onto the fitting that won't go on the tote.

Its a threaded male out of the tote. So i need a female (mystery thread) to 2" sanitary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3d0g Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Not an expert, but I believe it varies by IBC manufacturer? http://www.jmesales.com/catalog/ibcs-totes-tank-accessories,7285.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteB Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I am in Australia but i think I might have a similar IBC. The thread looks like 2 inch BSP but not. I eventually noticed mine had a camlock groove just behind the thread. Try a 2 inch female camlock instead of the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefish_dist Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Standard 2" npt. 2" pvc will thread right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAndy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 We've gotten totes with a non NPT thread, this is the banjo part number that fits them TA283QD. Then from that you can get a cam lock to TC fitting if need be. http://www.banjocorp.com/products/ibc-tank-accessories/accessories/buttress/ta283qd The NPT equivalent is part 200a https://www.amazon.com/Banjo-200A-Polypropylene-Fitting-Adapter/dp/B001GLUNFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
