Description

Simple Closure. Easy Flushing.

The 1/2" Figure 8 End is the most economical and reliable method for terminating a run of 1/2" poly tubing. Its simple design utilizes the tubing itself to create a kinked seal, ensuring a leak-proof closure that stays secure even under pressure.

Unlike permanent end caps, the Figure 8 fitting allows for easy opening and closing of the line. This is essential for routine system maintenance, allowing you to flush out dirt, debris, or mineral buildup at the beginning and end of every watering season without needing to cut the pipe or buy new fittings.

Why Choose a Figure 8 End?
  • Easiest Maintenance: The design allows you to quickly slide the fitting off to flush the line, then slide it back on to seal it. No tools required.
  • Fail-Safe Design: Because it works by folding the tubing, there are no internal threads to strip or gaskets to wear out.
  • Economical: This is the most cost-effective end closure solution available for standard drip irrigation systems.
  • Durable Material: Made from high-impact, UV-resistant polypropylene to withstand direct sunlight and outdoor elements.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Secure the end of your line in seconds.

Step 1: Thread the Tubing
Insert the end of your 1/2" poly tubing through one of the "eyes" of the Figure 8 fitting. Slide the fitting up the tubing about 6 inches.

Step 2: Fold the Tubing
Bend the end of the tubing over to create a tight kink. This fold stops the water flow.

Step 3: Secure the Fold
While holding the fold, slide the Figure 8 fitting back down the tubing and insert the bent end into the second eye of the fitting. Pull tight to lock the kink in place.
