Features & Benefits

Built for Speed: Cut Installation Time in Half

• Patented "Push-and-Go" Design: This fitting is 100% tool-free and chemical-free. Simply push the 1/2" Blu-Lock swing pipe into the adapter for an instant, rock-solid connection. This intuitive approach eliminates multiple steps, cutting installation and repair time by 50% or more compared to traditional methods.
• Guaranteed Leak-Proof Connection: Inside each fitting, a patented system of stainless steel teeth grips the pipe tightly, while a robust EPDM O-ring creates a secure, watertight seal. This heavy-duty construction provides a connection you can bury with absolute confidence, eliminating costly callbacks and repairs.
• Removable & Reusable: Mistakes happen and plans change. Unlike permanent solvent-weld fittings, this 1/2" Blu-Lock adapter features a patented quick-release collar. This allows for easy, tool-free removal and repositioning, making it a versatile and forgiving solution for any project.

Built for Green: A Smarter, Eco-Friendly Choice

• A Healthier, Chemical-Free Job Site: By eliminating the need for toxic PVC primers and solvent cements, the Blu-Lock system protects the long-term health of both the installer and the surrounding landscape. It is the clean, modern way to install irrigation.
• Enhanced Water Efficiency: Blu-Lock fittings utilize an innovative Outside Diameter (OD) technology that ensures an unimpeded flow path. This smart design reduces friction loss and increases water flow by up to 25% compared to restrictive traditional insert fittings, leading to better sprinkler performance and improved water conservation.
• An Environmentally Responsible System: This adapter is a key component of the Blu-Lock ecosystem, which uses environmentally friendly, recyclable HDPE pipe as a superior, more flexible alternative to traditional PVC pipe.

Ideal Applications & Use Cases

The Hydro-Rain BL-436-005 is the ideal solution for creating a secure transition from 1/2" Blu-Lock swing pipe to any component with a standard 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT) inlet. It is perfect for a wide range of irrigation tasks:

• Connecting flexible swing pipe assemblies to pop-up sprinkler bodies and shrub adapters.
• Attaching swing pipe to threaded risers and nipples for precise sprinkler head placement.
• Performing fast, reliable repairs on damaged pipe sections near a threaded fitting.
• Building custom, flexible swing joints to protect sprinkler heads from damage in high-traffic areas.
• Transitioning from a Blu-Lock tubing run to a manifold with standard threaded ports.
