The Hydro-Rain 3/4" Blu-Lock x 3/4" Male Pipe Thread Adapter bridges the gap between your flexible tubing and rigid threaded components. This adapter is essential for connecting 3/4" Blu-Lock tubing directly to AC electric valves, pressure regulators, filters, or large impact sprinklers. By converting the push-to-connect system into a standard 3/4" MPT connection, it allows for seamless integration of modern speed with traditional hardware.
Eliminating the need for PVC primer and glue, this adapter features a stainless steel retainer ring that grips the tubing instantly. It is one of the most versatile irrigation fittings for professional installers building valve manifolds or connecting zone lines to water sources.

Apply Thread Seal Tape (Teflon tape) to the 3/4" MPT threads of the adapter. Wrap clockwise 3-4 times.
Step 2: Screw it In
Thread the adapter into your valve, filter, or regulator (Female Pipe Thread). Hand-tighten firmly. Do not over-tighten with a wrench.
Step 3: Prep the Tubing
Cut your 3/4" Blu-Lock tubing cleanly and squarely. Check for dirt or debris.
Step 4: Push to Connect
Insert the tubing into the Blu-Lock socket until it hits the internal stop. Pull back gently to verify the lock.
