The 1/2" Easy Loc Female Hose Start is the essential starting point for many drip irrigation systems. It allows you to connect your main water supply—whether it's an outdoor spigot, a garden hose, or a hose-end timer—directly to your 1/2" Poly Tubing.
Featuring a 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) Swivel, this fitting spins freely to attach to your faucet without twisting or kinking the tubing. On the other side, the secure Easy Loc collar clamps down on the drip line, creating a leak-proof seal that handles household water pressure variations with ease.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting connects a garden hose source to 1/2" tubing.

Follow these steps to connect your drip system to a water faucet.
Step 1: Check the Washer
Ensure the rubber hose washer is seated inside the 3/4" Female Swivel end. This is required for a leak-free seal on hose threads. Do not use thread seal tape on the hose threads.
Step 2: Connect to Source
Screw the swivel end onto your faucet, timer, filter, or pressure regulator. Hand-tighten until snug.
Step 3: Prep Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely. Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards to expose the barb.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Push the tubing firmly over the barb until it hits the stop. Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection.
