Dec 4th 2025
The 1/2" Easy Loc Female Hose Tee is the ultimate problem solver for starting a drip system. Featuring a convenient 3/4" Female Hose Swivel, this fitting screws directly onto any standard outdoor faucet, hose timer, or garden hose, instantly splitting the water flow into two 1/2" mainline directions.
Commonly used at the head of a system or to branch off a hose bib, this tee eliminates the need for multiple adapters. It utilizes the trusted Easy Loc locking mechanism to secure your 1/2" poly tubing, ensuring a leak-proof connection that can be assembled and disassembled without tools.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting adapts Hose Threads to Poly Tubing.

Follow these steps to connect your system directly to the water source.
Step 1: Connect to Source
Ensure the rubber washer is seated inside the swivel. Screw the Female Hose Swivel onto your faucet, hose timer, or garden hose. Hand-tighten until snug.
Step 2: Unlock the Fittings
Rotate the locking collars on the two Easy Loc ends backwards (towards the center) to expose the internal barbs. Do not remove the nuts completely.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Push your 1/2" poly tubing firmly over the barbs until they hit the stops. You may need to use a wiggling motion to get the tubing over the barb lips.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collars forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection in place. Hand-tighten firmly.
Check your connection types carefully:
