The 1/2" Easy Loc x 1/2" Male Pipe with Valve gives you the power to connect standard 1/2" Poly Tubing to a threaded source while gaining complete flow control over that specific zone. By integrating a manual shut-off valve directly into the adapter, this fitting eliminates the need for separate ball valves and couplers.
Featuring a 1/2" Male Pipe Thread (MPT), this adapter is perfect for screwing into PVC risers or manifolds to supply water to specific raised garden beds or planters. With a simple quarter-turn of the green handle, you can adjust the flow or shut off the water entirely for maintenance, harvesting, or winterization.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting combines an adapter and a valve.

Follow these steps to install your shut-off valve adapter.
Step 1: Tape the Threads
Apply thread seal tape to the 1/2" Male Pipe Threads. Wrap clockwise 3-4 times to ensure a leak-proof seal.
Step 2: Install Threaded End
Screw the adapter into your 1/2" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) component. Hand-tighten securely. Ensure the valve handle is accessible.
Step 3: Prep Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely. Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards to expose the barb.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Push the tubing firmly over the barb until it stops. Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection.
