The Hydro-Rain 1" Blu-Lock Elbow is designed for the heavy lifting in your irrigation system. Built to handle the higher flow rates of 1" Blu-Lock Tubing, this fitting creates a secure 90-degree turn instantly. It is the perfect replacement for glued PVC elbows on main supply runs or large sprinkler zones.
Featuring Hydro-Rain's patented push-to-connect technology, this elbow eliminates the need for primers, toxic glues, and cure times. The stainless steel retaining ring grips the pipe with incredible strength, while the full swivel capability allows you to adjust the angle of your pipe even after the connection is made, relieving stress on the system.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting connects two pieces of 1" lateral pipe.

Follow these steps to turn corners on your main lateral line.
Step 1: Prep the Pipe
Cut your 1" Blu-Lock tubing cleanly and squarely. Ensure the cut is straight and free of debris to guarantee a perfect seal with the internal O-ring.
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.
This fitting is specifically designed for 1" Blu-Lock Lateral Pipe:
