Valves, Caps, Heaters & Spare Parts.

The honest reason this page exists: somebody emails us once a week saying “my valve is leaking and the tote was fine yesterday.” A new $24 valve and ten minutes with a wrench saves a $189 tote. We’d rather sell you the $24 valve and keep you in the reborn-tote ecosystem.

How to order

Tell us the make of your existing tote (Schutz, Mauser, Greif, etc.), the size (275 vs 330 gal), and what isn’t working. We’ll match the part number and include a photo so you can confirm before ordering. No minimums.

The most-replaced parts, in order

After watching ten years of customer orders go through, the parts list looks roughly like this in order of how often each one needs replacing:

• Dust caps — the small plastic cap that protects the valve outlet. They get knocked off and lost more than any other single part. We sell them for $2.50 each.
• Valve seats (EPDM gaskets) — the rubber sealing ring inside the butterfly valve. They harden and pit over time and start leaking slowly. Replacement is a 10-minute job. $14.
• Fill cap gaskets — the rubber gasket inside the 6" fill cap. Dries out and shrinks. About $6.
• Replacement valves (whole) — when the valve seat is too far gone or the valve body itself is damaged. $24 to $48 depending on type.
• Cage carriage bolts — when a bolt has rusted through or the wood has crushed around it. Sold in packs of four for $9.
• Pallet swap-outs — when the pallet has rotted, cracked, or simply reached end of life. We do hardwood ($14), plastic ($22), or steel-shod ($48).
• Tote-mounted heaters — wrap heaters and band heaters for cold-climate operations. $65 to $185 depending on power and coverage.
• Insulated jackets — fitted thermal jackets for outdoor winter storage. $180 each.

Things people forget to order

Three small accessories that show up on about a third of return orders because the customer wishes they had ordered them with the original tote:

• Sight tubes — an external clear tube mounted on the side of the tote that shows the liquid level at a glance. About $32 installed.
• Tamper-evident fill caps — replaces the standard cap with one that breaks when first opened. Useful for shipped goods. $9.
• Cam-lock outlet adapters — converts a standard butterfly valve to a quick-connect for tank-truck style loading. About $48.

Brand compatibility

Most modern IBC totes from the four major brands (Schutz, Mauser, Greif, Hoover) accept the same valves, fill caps, dust caps and pallets within minor variations. The main exception is thread type — Schutz and Greif use NPT, Mauser and some Hoover use BSP. When you order parts from us, mention the brand of your existing tote so we can pull the right thread variant.

Bulk parts orders

If you operate a fleet of more than 25 IBC totes, we can put together a quarterly parts kit that ships everything you are likely to need for the next three months in one box. Customers in our fleet program save about 22% versus ordering parts individually, and they avoid the "one part missing on a Friday afternoon" problem. Email us if you want a kit quote.
