Winterizing Your Garden Made Easy: 7 Steps Every Gardener Should Know
Feb 3rd 2026
The 3/4" Easy Loc x 3/4" PVC Adapter is the professional's choice for transitioning from a rigid PVC system to flexible polyethylene tubing. This fitting features a 3/4" Slip connection on one side that glues directly onto standard PVC pipe, and a 3/4" Easy Loc connection on the other to secure your drip mainline.
Ideal for converting hard-piped sprinkler systems to drip irrigation or extending water lines from a PVC manifold, this adapter ensures a permanent, high-pressure seal. Unlike threaded adapters that can leak or cross-thread, these glue-in irrigation fittings provide a seamless, robust flow of water to your garden.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting adapts rigid PVC Pipe to flexible Poly Tubing.

Follow these steps to permanently connect your drip system to PVC pipe.
Step 1: Glue the PVC
Clean and prime your 3/4" PVC pipe end. Apply PVC solvent cement (glue) to both the pipe and the inside of the adapter's Slip socket. Push the adapter onto the pipe firmly and hold for 30 seconds to bond.
Step 2: Unlock the Fitting
Rotate the Easy Loc locking collar backwards (towards the PVC side) to expose the internal barb. Do not remove the nut completely.
Step 3: Connect Tubing
Push your 3/4" poly tubing firmly over the barb until it hits the stop. You may need to use a wiggling motion to get the tubing over the barb lip.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) to clamp the connection in place. Hand-tighten firmly.
Check your pipe and tubing sizes:
Ensure your system runs smoothly by pairing this adapter with the right components:
