Description

High-Flow Distribution. Multi-Row Manifold Precision.

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.

Why Choose Easy Loc Manifold Technology?
  • Unified Manifold Design: Replace multiple tees and adapters with one compact fitting. This reduces leak points and creates a much cleaner installation at the head of your garden rows.
  • Tool-Free Locking: The locking collars twist forward to mechanically clamp the tubing over the internal barbs. This ensures a connection rated for up to 60 PSI—significantly higher than standard friction barbs.
  • Reusable & Adjustable: If your garden layout changes, simply unscrew the collars and reconfigure your lines. Easy Loc fittings are designed for multiple seasons of field use.
  • UV-Stabilized Polypropylene: Engineered to withstand direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and the corrosive effects of common agricultural fertilizers.
  • Maximum Versatility: The reducing side-ports allow you to use 1/2" tubing for individual zones while keeping the high-volume 3/4" pipe as your primary header.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

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.
