Build Sprinkler Manifolds in a Fraction of the Time
Leave the frustration of messy primers, toxic glues, and long wait times behind. The Hydro-Rain BL-401-102 1" x 3/4" Blu-Lock Bull Tee is the ultimate solution for building and modifying sprinkler manifolds and lateral lines. This reducing tee allows you to step down from a 1" mainline to two 3/4" branch lines with a simple push-fit connection. Whether you're a homeowner tackling a weekend project or a professional contractor on a tight schedule, this push-fit tee allows you to create secure, leak-proof connections in seconds.
Why Choose the Hydro-Rain Blu-Lock Bull 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.
- 100% Tool & Chemical-Free: Forget clamps, primers, and smelly, toxic glues. The Blu-Lock system provides a clean, safe, and environmentally friendly installation, protecting both you and the landscape.
- A Rock-Solid, Leak-Proof Grip: Don't risk slow leaks or catastrophic blowouts. The patented retaining system features stainless steel teeth that grip the pipe tight, while a robust EPDM O-ring creates a formidable, watertight seal you can trust underground.
- Built for the Field: Constructed from heavy-duty, UV-resistant ABS plastic, this tee is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of direct burial. It’s a professional-grade fitting designed for long-term durability and performance.
- 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 1" and 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:
- Building sprinkler valve manifolds by connecting a 1" header line to 3/4" valves.
- Quickly branching off a 1" lateral line to create two 3/4" sprinkler lines.
- Stepping down pipe sizes in a zone without glue or clamps.
- DIY irrigation projects where ease of use and reliability are paramount.
- Professional landscape installations where reducing labor time and costs is critical.
