Description

Adapt Tubing to Hose Threads. Leak-Free.

The 1/2" Easy Loc Male Hose End is a versatile adapter designed to convert the end of your poly tubing into a standard 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) connection. This is the ideal fitting for creating a flush point at the end of a zone—simply attach a hose cap or ball valve to the threaded outlet, and you can easily open the line to flush out debris.

Reliable and durable, this adapter is one of our most practical irrigation fittings. It allows you to connect standard garden hoses or threaded accessories directly to your 1/2" distribution line using the secure Easy Loc locking mechanism, which grips the tubing tightly without the need for clamps or glue.

Why Choose Easy Loc Technology?
  • Versatile Adaptation: Converts plain tubing into a threaded connection point, perfect for attaching flush valves, end caps, or extending the system with a garden hose.
  • Secure Locking Technology: The locking collar screws over the tubing, compressing it against the internal barb. This prevents blow-offs and ensures a leak-proof seal even under pressure.
  • Tool-Free Installation: The large, textured nut provides excellent grip, allowing you to hand-tighten the fitting securely in seconds.
  • Fully Reusable: If your irrigation needs change, simply unscrew the collar to release the tubing and reuse the fitting elsewhere.
  • UV Resistant: Constructed from high-impact polypropylene with UV stabilizers to withstand harsh sunlight and agricultural environments.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps for a secure connection.

Step 1: Prep Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely. Ensure the end is clean and free of burrs.

Step 2: Unlock 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: Insert Tubing
Push the tubing firmly over the barb until it hits the internal stop. You may need to wiggle it slightly to get it seated fully.

Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection. Hand-tighten firmly. You can now screw a hose cap or garden hose onto the MHT threads.
