December Gardening Checklist for Northern California Gardeners

The 3/4" Easy Loc Female Hose Start allows you to connect high-flow 3/4" Poly Tubing directly to any standard outdoor water source. Whether you are attaching to a spigot, a garden hose, or a hose-end timer, this adapter provides a secure start for larger irrigation zones that require more water volume.
Equipped with a 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) Swivel, this fitting rotates freely, allowing you to screw it onto your faucet without twisting the entire length of heavy-duty tubing. The opposing end features a robust Easy Loc collar that locks onto the tubing for a leak-proof seal capable of handling system pressure. To guarantee this stability and protect your components from surges, we recommend installing a pressure regulator at the source.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting connects a garden hose source to 3/4" tubing.

Follow these steps to connect your 3/4" mainline to the faucet.
Step 1: Check the Washer
Ensure the rubber hose washer is seated inside the 3/4" Female Swivel end. This creates the seal against the faucet. Do not use thread seal tape on hose threads.
Step 2: Connect to Source
Screw the swivel end onto your spigot, timer, or vacuum breaker. Hand-tighten until snug.
Step 3: Prep Tubing
Cut your 3/4" poly tubing squarely. Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards to expose the barb.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Push the 3/4" tubing firmly over the barb until it hits the stop. Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection.
