How to Protect Trees and Shrubs: Winter Climate Tips

The 3/4" Easy Loc 4-Way Reducing Cross is the ultimate manifold component for complex irrigation layouts. It allows you to continue a 3/4" polyethylene mainline while simultaneously branching off two secondary 1/2" distribution lines. This "cross" configuration is ideal for starting multiple vegetable rows or flower beds from a single central distribution point, reducing the number of fittings required and minimizing friction loss.
Utilizing the industry-leading Easy Loc mechanical locking system, this fitting provides a secure, watertight seal on all four ports without the need for clamps or glue. It is a premium choice among professional irrigation fittings for large residential gardens, small farms, and commercial landscapes where transitioning from a 3/4" Easy Loc Cross to 1/2" lateral lines is required.

Build your manifold in minutes.
Step 1: Clean Cuts
Cut your 3/4" and 1/2" polyethylene tubing squarely with a poly tubing cutter. Ensure the edges are clean and free of burrs.
Step 2: Prep the Fitting
Rotate all four black locking collars backwards (towards the center of the fitting) to expose the internal barbs. Do not remove the nuts entirely.
Step 3: Insert Mainline
Push the 3/4" mainline tubing over the larger barbs until it hits the internal shoulder. Twist the corresponding locking collars forward (away from the center) until hand-tight.
Step 4: Connect Branch Lines
Repeat the process for your 1/2" distribution lines on the side-ports. Give each line a firm tug to ensure the mechanical lock is engaged.
Check your tubing dimensions before installation:
