The 1/2" Easy Loc Male Hose End is a simple yet essential adapter for any drip irrigation system. It features a standard 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) on one end and a secure 1/2" Easy Loc connection on the other, allowing you to attach accessories like flush valves, garden hoses, or even another timer directly to the end of your 1/2" Poly Tubing.
This fitting is most commonly used to install a flush valve at the end of a mainline or to create a connection point for a garden hose extension. The Easy Loc technology ensures a leak-proof grip on the tubing that can be easily removed or reconfigured as your garden needs change.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting adapts Poly Tubing to Male Hose Threads.

Follow these steps to secure the fitting to your tubing.
Step 1: Prepare Tubing
Cut your 1/2" polyethylene tubing squarely. Ensure the cut is clean and free of burrs.
Step 2: Unlock the Fitting
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards (towards the threaded end) to expose the internal barb. Do not remove the nut completely.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Push your 1/2" poly tubing firmly over the barb until it hits the stop. You may need to use a wiggling motion to get the tubing over the barb lip.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection in place. Hand-tighten firmly.
Step 5: Attach Accessory
Screw your flush valve, hose cap, or garden hose onto the 3/4" Male Hose Threads.
