Why Choose the Hydro-Rain Blu-Lock Tee?
- Install in Seconds, Not Hours: The revolutionary "push-and-go" design is up to 70% faster than traditional solvent-weld PVC methods. Eliminate waiting for glue to cure and complete your projects in a fraction of the time.

- Eco-Friendly Irrigation: The Blu-Lock system works with recyclable HDPE pipe, providing a superior, greener alternative to traditional PVC. The chemical-free connection process further reduces the environmental impact of your irrigation project.

Critical Application Guide: The Right Fitting for the Right Job
IMPORTANT: This Blu-Lock fitting is designed for use with 3/4" Blu-Lock lateral pipe in non-constant pressure, valve-out applications only.
This means the fitting must be installed after your sprinkler zone valves, on the lines leading to the sprinkler heads. It is not rated for constant mainline pressure. For repairs or installations on the mainline (the pipe before your zone valves), please use the appropriate PVC-Lock fittings designed for constant pressure applications. Using the correct fitting is essential for a secure, long-lasting system.
Perfect For:
- Quickly adding a new sprinkler head by branching off an existing 3/4" lateral line.
- Building or repairing sprinkler manifolds located after the zone valves.
- Fast, on-the-spot repairs of cracked or damaged 3/4" lateral line sections.
- DIY irrigation projects where ease of use and reliability are paramount.
- Professional landscape installations where reducing labor time and costs is critical.
