IBC tank 1000 valve knob handle

thingiverse

Replacing a 1000-liter IBC tank valve knob or handle is a straightforward process that can be accomplished by following these steps. First, locate the valve and knob or handle assembly. This is typically found at the bottom of the tank. Once you have identified it, turn off the flow of liquid from the tank to prevent any spills or messes during the replacement procedure. Next, disconnect the valve from the tank by loosening the retaining nut that holds it in place. Be careful not to strip the threads on the tank as this can cause damage and make the repair more difficult. With the valve removed, you can now access the knob or handle assembly. This usually consists of a simple screw or clip holding it in place. Remove this screw or clip and gently pull the knob or handle away from the valve stem. Take this opportunity to inspect the valve stem for any debris or buildup that may be preventing proper operation. Clean out any obstructions and apply a thin layer of lubricant to ensure smooth movement when reassembling everything. Once you have completed these steps, reattach the knob or handle by screwing it back into place or clipping it securely onto the valve stem. Tighten the retaining nut to secure the valve in place, but be careful not to overtighten as this can damage the threads on the tank. Finally, turn the flow of liquid back on and test the valve to ensure it is functioning properly. If everything seems to be working correctly, you can now put the IBC tank back into service.
