Take command of your irrigation zones with the 3/4" Easy Loc x 3/4" MPT w/ Valve. This versatile adapter allows you to connect 3/4" mainline tubing directly to a PVC fitting or manifold while giving you the ability to shut off flow to that specific line.
Perfect for complex garden layouts, this fitting features a smooth-turning ball valve. This allows you to isolate specific garden beds for maintenance or turn off water to harvested crops without shutting down the entire system. It combines the reliability of a threaded pipe connection with the speed of Easy Loc tubing attachment.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting connects poly tubing to pipe threads.

Follow these steps to ensure a leak-proof connection.
Step 1: Seal the Threads
Apply 3-4 wraps of thread seal tape to the 3/4" Male Pipe Threads (MPT). This ensures a water-tight seal against the PVC fitting.
Step 2: Install Threaded End
Screw the threaded end into your 3/4" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) fitting or manifold. Hand-tighten firmly. Do not overtighten with a wrench as this may crack the plastic.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards to expose the barb. Push your 3/4" poly tubing over the barb until it hits the stop.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward over the tubing to clamp it in place.
Check your thread type carefully:
