Description

Start Your System. Secure Connection.

The 1/2" Easy Loc x 1/2" Male Pipe Adapter provides a direct, leak-proof connection between your water source and your drip irrigation mainline. Designed to thread effortlessly into standard PVC fittings, risers, or pressure regulators, this adapter allows you to transition to 1/2" polyethylene tubing in seconds.

As one of the most essential irrigation fittings for system start-ups, this adapter features a 1/2" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) on one side and the reliable Easy Loc locking collar on the other. This combination ensures a durable connection that can be hand-tightened without the need for glue, clamps, or specialized tools, making it perfect for both new installations and system repairs.

Why Choose Easy Loc Technology?
  • Tool-Free Installation: The large, textured locking nut allows for a secure grip, letting you tighten the fitting by hand.
  • Leak-Proof Seal: The Easy Loc collar screws over the tubing, compressing it against the internal barb for a connection that holds tight under pressure.
  • Fully Reusable: Need to change your layout? Simply unscrew the collar and remove the tubing. The fitting can be used again and again.
  • Professional Durability: Molded from high-grade polypropylene with UV stabilizers to withstand harsh sunlight and agricultural chemicals.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps for a watertight connection.

Step 1: Tape the Threads
Apply thread seal tape to the 1/2" male threads. Wrap clockwise 3-4 times. This is required for MPT fittings to seal against PVC or regulators.

Step 2: Install Threaded End
Screw the adapter into your 1/2" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) component (such as a PVC tee, riser, or regulator). Hand-tighten securely.

Step 3: Prep Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely. Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards (towards the threaded end) 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.

✔ Compatibility Check

Check your connection types:

  • Threaded Side: Fits standard 1/2" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) fittings.
  • It is NOT compatible with Garden Hose Threads (GHT) found on spigots.
  • Tubing Side: Fits standard 1/2" Poly Tubing (.700" OD).
  • It is NOT compatible with Drip Tape or 3/4" Poly Tubing.
