The 1/2" Easy Loc x 1/2" Male Pipe Thread Valve provides manual flow control right at the start of your drip line. It is designed to connect standard 1/2" Poly Tubing directly to a PVC manifold, riser, or any 1/2" threaded outlet, giving you the ability to turn specific garden beds on or off individually.
Integrating valves into your system allows for greater flexibility, especially when watering plants with different moisture needs. This valve utilizes the trusted Easy Loc connection for the tubing and standard pipe threads for the inlet, making it one of the most versatile irrigation fittings for customizing your watering schedule and performing maintenance without shutting down the entire system.

Thread the valve into your 1/2" FPT manifold, riser, or fitting. Hand-tighten securely. Ensure the handle is accessible.
Step 3: Prepare Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely. Rotate the Easy Loc collar backwards to expose the barb.
