IBC Accessories & Parts
Everything you need to maintain, repair, and optimize your IBC totes. From replacement valves and gaskets to heating blankets and spill containment systems, we stock the full range.
Keep Your Totes Running
Genuine IBC Parts & Accessories
An IBC tote is only as reliable as its components. A worn gasket causes leaks. A stuck valve slows production. A missing dust cap invites contamination. At Grand Rapids IBC, we stock a comprehensive inventory of replacement parts and accessories compatible with all major IBC manufacturers including Schutz, Mauser, Greif, and Snyder.
Whether you need a single butterfly valve or a pallet of spill containment systems, we can ship same-day from our warehouse at 902 Scribner Ave NW in Grand Rapids, MI.

Discharge & Flow Control
Valves -- Detailed Specifications
Butterfly Valves
The industry-standard discharge valve for IBC totes. Features a quarter-turn handle that rotates a flat disc inside the valve body to open and close flow. Our butterfly valves are constructed from polypropylene with EPDM gaskets for broad chemical compatibility. Available in 2-inch NPS thread (standard) and 3-inch for high-flow applications. The simple design makes them easy to clean, replace, and operate -- no tools required for installation.
Best for: water, thin chemicals, beverages, general liquids
Ball Valves
Heavy-duty alternative to butterfly valves, featuring a spherical ball with a bore drilled through the center. Ball valves provide a full-port opening for unrestricted flow -- critical when dispensing viscous liquids like oils, syrups, adhesives, or thick chemical compounds. Available in polypropylene, stainless steel (304 and 316), and brass. The positive shut-off design provides superior leak resistance under pressure.
Best for: viscous liquids, oils, syrups, high-pressure applications
Cam-Lock Fittings
Quick-connect/disconnect fittings that snap onto the IBC valve outlet for rapid hose attachment. The cam-and-groove design allows tool-free connections in seconds -- essential for operations that frequently connect and disconnect transfer hoses. We carry all six standard types (A through F) in aluminum, stainless steel, and polypropylene, in sizes from 1/2-inch to 3-inch.
Best for: frequent hose changes, pumping systems, mobile dispensing
Valve Installation Guide
How to Replace a Butterfly Valve
- 1Ensure the IBC is completely drained. Open the valve and allow all remaining product to flow out. Tip the tote slightly if needed to drain the last few ounces.
- 2Unscrew the old valve by turning it counterclockwise. Most IBC valves have a 2-inch NPS thread that unscrews by hand. If stuck, use a strap wrench -- never use pipe wrenches as they will damage the plastic threads.
- 3Clean the threaded outlet on the bottle. Remove any old gasket material, product residue, or thread sealant. Inspect the threads for damage -- cracked or cross-threaded outlets cannot be repaired and the bottle should be replaced.
- 4Install the new gasket on the valve body (not on the bottle threads). Ensure the gasket is seated evenly in the groove and is not pinched or folded.
- 5Hand-tighten the new valve onto the bottle outlet, turning clockwise. Tighten firmly by hand -- do not use tools. The gasket compression should create a leak-free seal without excessive torque.
- 6Test the installation by filling the IBC with water and checking for leaks around the valve threads. Open and close the valve several times to verify smooth operation.
How to Install a Cam-Lock Adapter
- 1Select the correct cam-lock type for your hose connection. Type B (male coupler with male NPT thread) is most common for IBC applications, screwing directly into the valve outlet.
- 2Apply 2-3 wraps of PTFE thread tape to the NPT threads of the cam-lock adapter. Wrap in the direction of threading (clockwise when looking at the thread end).
- 3Thread the cam-lock adapter into the IBC valve outlet or onto the valve itself (depending on configuration). Hand-tighten plus 1/4 turn with a wrench.
- 4Connect the mating cam-lock coupler on your hose. Pull back the cam arms, insert the adapter, and release the cam arms. They should snap securely into the groove.
- 5Test the connection by pressurizing the system or filling the IBC. Check for leaks at both the threaded connection and the cam-lock interface.
Top-Fill Components
Caps & Lids
6-Inch Fill Cap (150 mm)
The primary fill opening cap for standard IBC totes. Heavy-duty polypropylene construction with integrated gasket channel. Available in vented (with pressure-relief mechanism for temperature fluctuations) and non-vented (sealed for volatile or odorous contents) configurations. Thread pattern: S60x6 coarse thread, compatible with all major IBC brands.
2-Inch Bung Cap (50 mm)
Threaded plug cap for secondary fill ports, sampling ports, and valve outlet protection during transport. NPS and BSP thread options. Available with or without gasket. Polypropylene standard; HDPE and nylon available for specialized chemical compatibility requirements.
Dust Caps
Snap-on protective covers for discharge valve outlets. Prevent dirt, debris, insects, and moisture from entering the valve mechanism during storage and transport. Inexpensive but critical for maintaining product purity and extending valve service life. Universal fit for 2-inch butterfly and ball valves.
Leak Prevention
Gaskets & Seals
6-Inch Cap Gaskets
Replacement sealing rings for the top-fill cap. The gasket is the most frequently replaced component on any IBC -- they compress over time and lose their seal. We stock EPDM (general purpose, food-grade compatible), Viton (chemical-resistant for solvents and aggressive chemicals), and silicone (high-temperature applications up to 400 degrees F).
Valve Gaskets & O-Rings
Replacement seals for butterfly and ball valve assemblies. A dripping valve is almost always a gasket issue, not a valve issue -- replacing the gasket restores a leak-free seal for a fraction of the cost of a full valve replacement. Available in Buna-N, EPDM, Viton, and PTFE. We carry standard and metric sizes for all common IBC valve configurations.
Tamper-Evident Seals
Security clips and break-away seals for caps and valves. Required for transport of regulated materials and for maintaining chain-of-custody documentation. Numbered seals available for traceability. Compliant with DOT and IMDG transport security requirements.

Viton
Required for solvents, fuels, concentrated acids, and aggressive chemicals. Higher cost but essential for chemical compatibility.
Buna-N
Best choice for petroleum products, oils, and fuel-based applications. Not suitable for food contact or ozone-exposed environments.
PTFE
Universal chemical resistance at the highest temperature range. Ideal when you need one gasket material that works with everything.
Connection Solutions
Adapters & Fittings
Connect your IBC to any hose, pipe, or dispensing system with our range of thread adapters, reducers, and specialty fittings.
S60x6 to Cam-Lock
Adapts the standard IBC coarse thread outlet to quick-connect cam-lock fittings. The most popular adapter for hose-based transfer systems.
S60x6 to Garden Hose
Connects your IBC directly to a standard 3/4-inch garden hose thread. Ideal for gravity-fed irrigation, rainwater distribution, and wash-down applications.
Reducer Fittings
Step down from 2-inch to 1-inch, 3/4-inch, or 1/2-inch connections. Available in polypropylene and 316 stainless steel for chemical service.
Y-Connectors & Tees
Split a single IBC outlet into two or three lines. Essential for drip irrigation manifolds, multi-station dispensing, and parallel tank configurations.
Protection & Temperature Control
Heating Blankets, Covers & Containment
IBC Heating Blankets
Thermostatically controlled electric wraps that maintain your IBC contents at a consistent temperature. Essential for viscous products that thicken or solidify in cold weather -- honey, oils, adhesives, resins, and wax-based compounds. Our blankets feature adjustable thermostats (40-160 degrees F), even heat distribution across the full bottle surface, and insulated outer layers to minimize energy loss. Available in 120V and 240V configurations with 1,000 to 1,500 watt heating elements.
IBC Covers
UV-resistant protective covers that shield your IBC tote from direct sunlight, rain, snow, and airborne debris during outdoor storage. UV exposure degrades HDPE plastic over time, causing brittleness and yellowing. A quality cover extends the usable life of your tote by years. Our covers feature reinforced grommets for secure tie-down, reflective exterior surfaces for heat reduction, and breathable materials that prevent condensation buildup underneath.
Spill Containment Pallets
Regulatory-compliant secondary containment systems designed to capture leaks and spills from IBC totes. Required by EPA 40 CFR 264.175 for facilities storing hazardous materials. Our containment pallets feature polyethylene construction for chemical resistance, removable grating for easy cleaning, and built-in sump capacity exceeding 110% of the largest container stored. Available in single-IBC (275-gallon sump) and double-IBC (550-gallon sump) configurations.

Problem Solving
IBC Troubleshooting Guide
Common IBC problems and their solutions. Most issues can be resolved with a simple part replacement -- no need to discard the entire tote.
Valve is dripping when closed
Cap leaks during transport
Valve handle is stuck or hard to turn

Bottle is yellowing or becoming brittle
Cam-lock fitting leaks at the connection
Product dispensing too slowly
Cage is rusting
Contamination-Free Storage
IBC Liners
Single-use polyethylene liners transform any IBC tote into a contamination-free container without the need for cleaning between product changes. The liner sits inside the HDPE bottle and creates a barrier between the product and the container walls.
This is especially valuable for operations that use the same IBCs for different products, for food-grade applications where cleaning validation is expensive, or when storing sticky or difficult-to-clean substances like resins, inks, or latex compounds. After use, the liner is removed and disposed of, and the IBC is immediately ready for the next product with zero cleaning downtime.
Why Use Liners?
Eliminate Cleaning Costs
Skip the wash cycle entirely. Remove the liner, insert a new one, and your IBC is ready for the next product in minutes instead of hours.
Switch Products Instantly
Use the same fleet of IBCs for different products without risk of cross-contamination or flavor transfer between batches.
Extend Tote Lifespan
The liner protects the HDPE bottle from staining, odor absorption, and chemical attack -- keeping your tote in Grade A condition longer.
Reduce Water Usage
The triple-rinse cleaning process uses significant water and detergent. Liners eliminate this entirely, supporting your sustainability goals.
