The Hydro-Rain 1" Blu-Lock x 1" Male Pipe Thread Adapter bridges the gap between your flexible mainline tubing and rigid system components. This adapter is essential for connecting 1" Blu-Lock tubing directly to AC electric valves, large filters, or pressure regulators. By converting the push-to-connect system into a standard 1" MPT connection, it allows you to build professional, leak-free manifolds in a fraction of the time required for glued PVC.
Eliminating the need for hazardous primers and solvents, this adapter features a stainless steel retainer ring that grips the tubing securely upon insertion. It is one of the most versatile irrigation fittings for professional installers working with high-flow residential or commercial systems.

Proper installation ensures a leak-free system.
Step 1: Tape the Threads
Apply Thread Seal Tape (Teflon tape) to the 1" 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 1" Blu-Lock tubing cleanly and squarely using a pipe cutter.
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.
