Managing water flow to individual rows is essential for precision irrigation. The 3/4" Easy Loc x 3/4" MPT w/ Valve combines a secure tubing connector with a manual shut-off valve, allowing you to connect 3/4" poly tubing directly to PVC risers or manifolds while retaining full control over that specific line.
Perfect for rotating crops, maintenance, or varying water needs, this fitting threads into any standard 3/4" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) fitting. The large, easy-to-turn handle lets you open or close the flow instantly, while the Easy Loc nut ensures your tubing remains securely attached without leaks.
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:
