The Hydro-Rain 1/2" Blu-Lock Tee revolutionizes the way you install sprinkler swing joints. Designed exclusively for use with 1/2" Blu-Lock Tubing, this fitting allows you to split a single line into two directions or create a branch off your main swing pipe run without the hassle of barbs, clamps, or glue.
Featuring a stainless steel retaining ring and a high-quality seal, this tee locks onto the tubing instantly for a leak-proof connection that is stronger than the pipe itself. Whether you are installing a new irrigation system or repairing a broken line, the Blu-Lock system increases installation speed by up to 80%, saving you time and reducing hand fatigue.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting is designed specifically for the Blu-Lock system.

Follow these steps for a secure, leak-free connection.
Step 1: Cut the Tubing
Make a clean, square cut on your 1/2" Blu-Lock tubing. Ensure the end is free of dirt and debris.
Step 2: Mark Depth (Optional)
For precision, you can mark the tubing about 1 inch from the end to ensure it is fully seated.
Step 3: Push to Connect
Insert the tubing firmly into the tee until it hits the internal stop. You will feel it slide past the grip ring. No twisting is required.
Step 4: Verify & Adjust
Pull back gently on the tubing to ensure the teeth have locked onto the pipe. The fitting can now swivel freely for positioning. To remove, simply press the release collar and pull the tubing out.
This fitting is specifically designed for Blu-Lock Swing Pipe:
