The 1/2" Easy Loc Male Hose Tee is a strategic component for any well-designed drip system. It connects two sections of 1/2" mainline tubing while creating a 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet in the center.
This fitting is most frequently used to install a Flush Valve at the low point of a system or to create a connection point for a garden hose. By placing this tee at the end or middle of a run, you can easily attach a flush valve to clear out debris, ensuring your emitters stay clog-free season after season.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting connects poly tubing to a hose thread accessory.

Follow these steps to ensure a leak-proof connection.
Step 1: Prepare Tubing
Cut your 1/2" mainline tubing where you want the tee (flush point) to be located. Ensure cuts are square.
Step 2: Unlock the Fittings
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collars backwards on both sides to expose the internal barbs. Do not remove the nuts completely.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Push your 1/2" poly tubing over the barbs on both sides until they hit the stops. You may need to wiggle the tubing to get it over the lip.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collars forward over the tubing to clamp the fitting in place. Hand-tighten firmly.
Step 5: Attach Accessory
Screw your Flush Valve, Hose Cap, or other female hose thread accessory onto the center outlet. Hand-tighten only.
Check your thread type carefully:
