The 1/2" Easy Loc End Cap is the most convenient solution for closing off the ends of your drip irrigation lines. Unlike figure-8 closures that can be difficult to remove, this fitting features a threaded cap on the end of a secure Easy Loc collar, allowing you to terminate standard 1/2" Poly Tubing effortlessly.
This fitting is essential for system maintenance. Drip systems require periodic flushing to remove sediment and debris that can clog emitters. With this end cap, you simply unscrew the threaded cover to flush the line, then screw it back on to resume operation—no tools or removal of the tubing required.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting is designed for standard 1/2" tubing.

Follow these steps to securely cap the end of your drip line.
Step 1: Prep the Tubing
Make a clean, square cut at the end of your 1/2" poly tubing. Ensure there are no jagged edges.
Step 2: Unlock the Fitting
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards (towards the cap end) to expose the internal barb. Do not remove the nut completely.
Step 3: Insert Tubing
Push your 1/2" poly tubing firmly over the barb until it hits the internal stop. A wiggling motion helps seat the tubing fully.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection. Hand-tighten firmly. To flush later, simply unscrew the small cap on the very end.
Check your tubing size:
Ensure your drip irrigation installation is secure and functional:
