60mm pipe adapter wanted

[Clickem]

The plastic thread on our water tank filler seems a bit flakey, and I am always aware that it would be very easy to fit the cap cross threaded

I was wondering if it would be possible to find a permanent adapter to screw on to the tank, so I am using the adapter male thread, rather than the tank male thread

Think I need a 60mm x 2mm pitch, female to male adapter. It could be with a smaller thread/cap on the male end, but the overall depth needs to be no more than 45mm, or the door will not close

Anyone any ideas?

TIA

You could try these https://www.geoquipwatersolutions.com/user/HPL - 2017 Hydrodif Company Profile.pdf

I think you may come unstuck on 45mm clearance.

PaulandChrissy do a few bits and pieces worth giving them a shout?

Hi
if you send me the Cap as a pattern, I can make you an extension no problem. It may take a couple of tests to get the thread perfect for the tank, but it’s no problem to make.

Most European pipe fittings are BSP.

Yep, I'd guess it's 2".

I have ordered a tank cap, which I hope will fit my tank. If so I will look at putting a fitting in the centre of the cap to allow me to fill through that. Thanks for the offer PaulandChrissy, may come to you at that point

Cap thread is 2 5/16ths to 2 3/8ths of an inch across, exactly 60 mm

If yo want something made to go in the centre of the cap tilted up to help filling, just ask. Im always happy to help make something special. . PaulandChrissy

A thread file would be good for "re-aligning" a damaged thread but I suspect would be more likely to remove more of the plastic thread that I have now

Then this IBC to BSP adaptor may be of use to allow the wide range of IBC fittings to be utilised to provide a workable solution.
