Kind of a plumbing question, but then again . . .
Can't search on "IBC" here, it doesn't have enough letters. I recently acquired a 250-275 gallon Intermediate Bulk Container for supplying my pressure washer when out of reach of piped water supplies. It has a 2" ball valve for an outlet, and I want to start cobbling up some adapters from the tank valve to the inlet on the pwasher.
I might end up using a thread gauge anyway, to be sure I'm getting everything right, but does anyone know offhand what would be on the end of that valve? IPT, maybe? It looks like a fairly fine thread, if that narrows down the possibilities any.
I can try the trial-and-error method, but thought I'd see if I could shorten the process by asking here first.
Thanks for any info.

Can you just load yhe tank and take it to hdw/plumb store with you?

[ERAD_DIB]

Yeah, I probably could, but it's kinda, well, bulky. (Still waiting on a truck for all this gear.) It'd almost be less of a PITA to get some adapters, bring 'em to where the tank is, and try 'em until something matches--as long as I don't booger up the threads in the process.
I now have a sneaking suspicion it'll turn out to be something odd, like BSP.

My IBC "Cage" tank has a 2" valve as well. I just threaded a 2" PVC coupler onto when I built the manifold to feed my pressure washers.

Can't help with your actual question, but you can search the site for something like that, via Google. For the search terms, enter:

IBC site:contractortalk.com

Then go crosseyed, because you'll be looking at a huge pile of results talking about the International Building Code.

[ERAD_DIB]

International code? Like we ain't got enough of 'em in the U.S.? Urk.
Thanks for the tip, though. (Dunno why I didn't think of that. Probably some kind of brain strain from researching all this stuff.)

Timo's idea makes good sense; I think I'll try that.
