Description

Start Big. Connect 1" Tubing to Your Faucet.

The 1" Easy Loc Female Hose Start is the primary adapter used to connect a high-capacity 1" mainline directly to a standard outdoor faucet, water timer, or garden hose. Equipped with a convenient swivel action, this fitting allows you to attach your large diameter tubing to the water source without twisting or kinking the line.

As one of the most essential irrigation fittings for large residential or commercial systems, it features the reliable Easy Loc locking mechanism. This ensures that even with the higher flow rates of 1" tubing, your connection remains secure and leak-free.

Why Choose the Easy Loc Hose Start?
  • Swivel Action: The 3/4" Female Hose Thread end spins independently, allowing you to screw the fitting tight onto a spigot while the tubing remains stationary.
  • High-Flow Connection: Designed specifically for 1" poly tubing, enabling maximum water volume for long runs or systems with many emitters.
  • Secure Locking Technology: The locking collar screws over the tubing, compressing it against the barb for a connection that handles pressure surges better than insert fittings.
  • Reusable: Need to move your system? Simply unscrew the locking nut, remove the tubing, and reinstall it elsewhere.
  • Durable Materials: Made from UV-stabilized polypropylene to resist cracking from sun exposure and temperature changes.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Connect your mainline in minutes.

Step 1: Check the Washer
Ensure the rubber hose washer is seated inside the female swivel end. This is required for a leak-free seal against the faucet.

Step 2: Connect to Source
Screw the swivel end onto your faucet, timer, or pressure regulator. Hand-tighten until snug.

Step 3: Insert Tubing
Rotate the Easy Loc collar backwards to expose the barb. Push your 1" poly tubing onto the barb until it hits the stop.

Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward over the tubing to secure the connection. No tools needed!

✔ Compatibility Check

Verify your sizes (they are different!):

  • Tubing Side: Fits 1" Poly Tubing (approx 1.040" OD). It does NOT fit 3/4" or 1/2" tubing.
  • Thread Side: Fits standard 3/4" Male Hose Threads (MHT). This is the size of a standard garden spigot.
  • It does NOT fit 1" Pipe Threads (NPT) or 1" Hose Threads.
