Burkle PP Thread Adapter – S 61×6 (DIN 61) to G 2"
The Burkle 0600-1008 PP Thread Adapter connects compatible containers using an S 61×6 (DIN 61) external thread to equipment or components with a G 2" external thread. Made from polypropylene, this adapter provides a practical thread transition for compatible drums, canisters, pumps and liquid-handling equipment.
The 0600-1008 features an S 61×6 (DIN 61) external thread on one side and a G 2" internal thread on the other. The exact thread standard and internal/external configuration should be verified before ordering.
Important: The 0600-1008 has an S 61×6 (DIN 61) external thread and a G 2" internal thread. The mating components must have the corresponding opposite threads. Verify the thread standard, diameter and pitch before ordering.

DIN 61 S 61×6 Thread Adapter
The S 61×6 (DIN 61) thread is a container thread specification. Burkle's thread guide identifies S 61×6 as a saw thread with a nominal outer diameter of approximately 61 mm and a 6 mm pitch. The 0600-1008 uses this connection as an external thread.
The opposite side of the adapter provides a G 2" internal thread for connection to a compatible G 2" external thread. This allows equipment using the G 2" thread standard to connect to a compatible container connection using the S 61×6 (DIN 61) standard.
How the 0600-1008 Is Used
Burkle's thread adapter range is designed to facilitate the connection of pumps and discharge cocks to containers using different thread standards. The 0600-1008 provides one specific transition: S 61×6 (DIN 61) external to G 2" internal.
For a compatible installation, the container-side connection must have an S 61×6 (DIN 61) internal thread, while the equipment or component being connected must have a G 2" external thread.
Thread Identification and Compatibility
Correct thread identification is essential when selecting a container adapter. Burkle recommends measuring the actual thread dimensions and comparing them with its thread table. For S 61×6 (DIN 61), Burkle lists an outer diameter of approximately 61 mm, an inner diameter of 55 mm and a 6 mm pitch.
Before ordering:
- Confirm that the container/component uses the S 61×6 (DIN 61) thread standard.
- Confirm that the mating S 61×6 thread is internal.
- Confirm that the equipment or component uses a compatible G 2" external thread.
- Check thread diameter and pitch rather than relying on nominal opening size alone.
- Verify material compatibility with the liquid and operating conditions.
- Determine whether an additional seal is required for your specific connection.

Material Compatibility
The 0600-1008 is constructed from polypropylene (PP). Chemical compatibility should be evaluated for the specific liquid, concentration, temperature and operating conditions before use.
Do not assume compatibility solely from the PP construction. Burkle provides chemical-resistance information to assist with material selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What threads does the Burkle 0600-1008 have?
The 0600-1008 has an S 61×6 (DIN 61) external thread and a G 2" internal thread.
What is S 61×6 (DIN 61)?
S 61×6 is a DIN 61 container thread designation. Burkle's thread guide lists it with an approximately 61 mm outer diameter and 6 mm pitch. The 0600-1008 uses this thread as an external connection.
What does G 2" mean?
G 2" refers to a G/BSP parallel pipe thread. On the 0600-1008, the G 2" connection is an internal thread and is intended to mate with a compatible G 2" external thread.
What type of container does the 0600-1008 fit?
The adapter is intended for compatible container connections using an S 61×6 (DIN 61) internal thread. The connected equipment must have a compatible G 2" external thread. Always verify the actual thread configuration before ordering.
Is the 0600-1008 a DIN 61 to G 2" adapter?
Yes. More precisely, it converts between an S 61×6 (DIN 61) external thread and a G 2" internal thread.
Need Help Confirming the Correct Thread Adapter?
Burkle offers multiple thread adapters for different drum, canister, barrel and equipment thread standards. If you are unsure whether S 61×6 (DIN 61), G 2" or another thread configuration is required, contact Cambridge Environmental Products before ordering.
