Stop struggling with messy, toxic glues, frustrating barbed fittings, and cumbersome clamps. The Hydro-Rain BL-401-005 1/2" Blu-Lock Tee revolutionizes irrigation installation and repair with its powerful push-to-connect technology. This innovative fitting allows you to create a secure, leak-proof, and permanent connection in seconds—no tools, no chemicals, and no wasted time. Whether you're a professional contractor demanding job-site efficiency or a dedicated homeowner seeking professional results, the Blu-Lock system is the fastest, greenest, and easiest way to build and maintain a reliable sprinkler system.
Cut your irrigation installation time in half with Hydro-Rain's patented "Push-and-Go" design. This 100% tool-free and chemical-free approach eliminates the need for primers, glues, or wrenches, allowing for immediate pressurization and testing. Simply push the pipe into the fitting for a secure connection that saves you time, labor, and hassle. The innovative design features a 50% reduction in insertion force compared to previous models, making it faster and easier than ever to work in any condition. For added flexibility, the 1/2" fitting includes a patented quick-release collar, allowing for tool-free removal and repositioning.
Build your irrigation system with the confidence that it's made to last. The Blu-Lock Tee is constructed from heavy-duty, UV-resistant ABS plastic to withstand the harsh conditions of direct burial. Inside, a patented retaining system features stainless steel teeth that grip the pipe tightly, creating a robust, leak-proof connection that won't fail under pressure. Combined with a high-quality EPDM seal, this system is designed and tested to ensure unparalleled toughness and long-term reliability for non-constant pressure, valve-out applications.
Don't let your fittings restrict your system's performance. Unlike traditional barbed insert fittings that obstruct the water path, the Blu-Lock system utilizes innovative Outside Diameter (OD) Technology. This design ensures that the flow of water is unimpeded, resulting in lower friction loss and a remarkable 25% increase in flow rate. This superior hydraulic performance leads to better efficiency, helping your sprinklers operate at their optimal pressure and ensuring more uniform water coverage across your landscape.
