Description

Navigate Corners Instantly. No Glue Required.

The Hydro-Rain 1/2" Blu-Lock Elbow is the essential component for building flexible, durable swing joints. Designed to connect two pieces of 1/2" Blu-Lock Tubing at a perfect 90-degree angle, this fitting allows you to route water around obstacles or position your sprinklers with precision.

Unlike traditional PVC elbows that require primer, glue, and cure time, this fitting utilizes Hydro-Rain's patented push-to-connect technology. Simply push the tubing in, and the stainless steel teeth lock it in place instantly. The fitting retains full swivel movement even after installation, preventing tubing kinks and allowing for easy adjustments in tight trenches.

Why Choose Blu-Lock Technology?
  • Instant 90° Turns: Create clean corners immediately. No heating, clamping, or gluing required.
  • Heavy-Duty Hold: The internal stainless steel retainer ring grips the pipe securely, ensuring the connection stays tight even under pressure surges.
  • 360° Swivel: The tubing can rotate freely inside the fitting without breaking the seal, making it easy to orient the pipe exactly where you need it.
  • Built-In Release Tab: Need to change the angle? The 1/2" fittings feature a quick-release collar. Just press the tab to unlock and remove the tubing.
  • Eco-Friendly: A completely chemical-free installation process that is safer for the environment and your hands.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to turn corners quickly and securely.

Step 1: Prep the Pipe
Cut your 1/2" Blu-Lock tubing cleanly and squarely. Ensure there are no jagged edges or dirt on the end.

Step 2: Push to Connect
Insert the tubing end firmly into the elbow socket until it stops. You will feel it pass the internal grip ring.

Step 3: Repeat
Repeat the process for the second piece of tubing on the other side of the elbow.

Step 4: Swivel to Position
Rotate the fitting or the tubing to angle the pipe exactly where you need it. The swivel action prevents the pipe from kinking.
