The 1/2" Easy Loc Female Hose Start is the foundational component for connecting your drip system to a water source. Featuring a swivel 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) inlet, this adapter attaches effortlessly to any standard outdoor faucet, garden hose, or hose-end timer without twisting your tubing.
Reliable and reusable, this is one of our most essential irrigation fittings for starting a 1/2" poly tubing run. The "Easy Loc" mechanism ensures a secure, leak-proof seal over the tubing, handling pressure surges far better than standard compression fittings while remaining easy to install by hand.
Verify your connection sizes before installation.

Step 1: Connect to Source
Ensure the rubber washer is seated inside the swivel nut. Screw the 3/4" FHT swivel onto your faucet, timer, pressure regulator, or filter. Hand-tighten until snug.
Step 2: Prepare Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely using a pipe cutter. Ensure the end is clean and free of burrs.
Step 3: Insert Tubing
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards (towards the swivel nut) to expose the barb. Push the tubing over the barb until it hits the internal stop.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to compress the connection. Hand-tighten firmly to lock the tubing in place.
