Featuring Hydro-Rain's patented push-to-connect technology, this coupler eliminates the need for clamps, glues, or heat.

Follow these steps to join two pipes securely.
Step 1: Prep the Pipe
Cut both ends of your 1/2" Blu-Lock tubing cleanly and squarely. Ensure the ends are free of dirt and debris.
Step 2: Push to Connect
Insert the first tube into the coupler until it stops. You will feel it pass the internal grip ring.
Step 3: Connect the Second Pipe
Push the second piece of tubing into the other side of the coupler until fully seated.
Step 4: Verify
Pull back gently on both sides to ensure the stainless steel teeth have locked onto the pipe. To remove, simply press the release tabs and pull the tubing out.
This fitting is specifically designed for Blu-Lock Swing Pipe:
