How to Save Time with a Drip Irrigation System
Jan 8th 2026
The 1/2" Easy Loc x 3/4" PVC Slip Adapter is the specialized fitting you need to convert a hard-piped PVC system into a flexible drip irrigation zone. Designed to solvent weld (glue) directly onto standard 3/4" PVC pipe, it provides a secure anchor point for starting your 1/2" Poly Tubing run.
This adapter features a 3/4" Slip Socket on one side for a permanent bond to your water source and an Easy Loc collar on the other for a re-usable tubing connection. It is one of our most popular irrigation fittings for landscapers who run rigid PVC underground to a garden bed and then switch to poly tubing at the surface for easier layout flexibility.

Follow these steps to connect rigid PVC to flexible poly tubing.
Step 1: Glue the PVC Side
Clean and prime your 3/4" PVC pipe stub. Apply PVC glue to the pipe and the inside of the adapter's slip socket. Push the fitting firmly onto the pipe and hold for 30 seconds to bond.
Step 2: Unlock the Collar
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards (towards the PVC side) to expose the internal barb. Do not remove the nut completely.
Step 3: Insert Tubing
Push your 1/2" poly tubing onto the barb until it hits the stop. A rocking motion can help seat the tubing.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection securely. Hand-tighten only.
