The 1/2" Easy Loc x 3/4" Female Pipe Adapter is the professional choice for converting rigid plumbing into a flexible drip irrigation zone. Designed to screw directly onto a 3/4" PVC riser, nipple, or filter outlet, this fitting provides a seamless start point for your 1/2" mainline tubing.
As one of our most critical irrigation fittings for hardscape-to-landscape transitions, it features a 3/4" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) on one side and the trusted Easy Loc locking mechanism on the other. Unlike friction-fit connectors that can blow off under pressure, the Easy Loc nut screws over the tubing, clamping it securely to the barb for a bond that withstands pressure surges and thermal expansion.
Check your thread type carefully before ordering.

Install this adapter leak-free in minutes.
Step 1: Apply Tape
Wrap thread seal tape (Teflon tape) 3-4 times around the male threads of your PVC riser or pipe nipple. This is required for a watertight seal on pipe threads.
Step 2: Attach the Adapter
Screw the Easy Loc adapter onto the taped pipe threads until hand-tight. You may use a wrench for a final 1/4 turn, but do not overtighten.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Rotate the locking collar backwards to expose the barb. Push your 1/2" poly tubing onto the barb until it hits the stop.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to secure the connection.
STOP! Verify your thread type:
