    Tote fitting question

    This subject has been touched on before but I could not find it on a search. I need help with the fitting thread type on the bottom of my tote. It is 2" but not normal pipe thread. If those that know more than me, can look at the picture and tell me the thread type or where to get the fitting or if it will be easier just to use a rubber fitting and clamp. The brass is a normal 2"valve, the plastic shows the coarse tote valve fitting. I would be thankful and so will the thirsty deer on my lease.

    I have found a 2" buttress IBC adapter online. I wonder if someone in Houston has one?

              I tried to take the valve out but it is tight and did not want to break it. It is a new tote.

                pm on its way....I have several poly couplers that get you from the buttress threads to regular threads.

                  I have the same issue. Picked up two totes that have the same threads pictured above.

                  Would anyone who has found a solution mind posting it here?

                  I'll know next time to look for standard threaded stuff.

                          Thanks to both of you for the ideas. Looks like either should get it done.
