The Best 14 Drip Irrigation Tips I Wish I Knew Earlier
Mar 25th 2026
The 3/4" Compression Adapter (Spigot) is the professional's choice for converting hard-piped sprinkler lines into high-capacity drip zones. Designed with a Spigot (Street) connection on one side, this adapter is engineered to glue directly inside any standard 3/4" PVC Slip fitting (such as a tee, elbow, or coupling).
Once installed, it provides a secure 3/4" compression outlet for your 3/4" poly tubing. As one of our most durable irrigation fittings, it eliminates the need for threaded connections, offering a permanent, flush-mounted transition that saves space in valve boxes and ensures a leak-proof seal.
Verify fitting and tubing sizes.

Requires PVC Primer and Glue (Solvent Cement).
Step 1: Prep Surfaces
Clean the outside of the adapter's spigot end and the inside of the 3/4" PVC fitting hub (e.g., a Tee or Elbow). Apply Purple Primer to both surfaces.
Step 2: Glue the Spigot
Apply PVC Glue to the spigot and the fitting hub. Insert the adapter fully, twist a quarter turn to ensure coverage, and hold for 30 seconds to bond.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Once the glue is cured, cut your 3/4" poly tubing squarely. Push it into the compression end of the adapter. Rock the tubing back and forth while pushing firmly until it passes the internal resistance ring.
Ensure this adapter fits your setup:
