Description

Connect Tubing to Your Faucet. Secure & Swiveling.

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.

Why Choose Easy Loc Technology?
  • Swivel Action: The 3/4" FHT nut spins independently, allowing you to tighten the fitting onto a faucet or timer without kinking or rotating the attached tubing line.
  • Secure Locking Technology: The locking collar screws over the tubing, compressing it against the internal barb. This prevents "blow-offs" even when the tubing softens in the hot sun.
  • Tool-Free Installation: No clamps, glues, or heat are required. The textured nut provides excellent grip for hand-tightening.
  • Fully Reusable: Changing your setup? Simply unscrew the collar to release the tubing and reuse the fitting elsewhere in your garden.
  • Durable Construction: Made from high-impact polypropylene with UV stabilizers to resist degradation from sunlight and chemicals.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Start your system with a leak-free connection.

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.
