The Hydro-Rain 1" Blu-Lock x 1" MPT Adapter is the heavy-duty solution for connecting your main 1" Blu-Lock Tubing supply lines to valves, manifolds, filters, and other threaded components. This fitting transitions from the flexible push-to-connect pipe to a standard 1" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) instantly.
Designed to replace messy glued PVC male adapters, this fitting features a unique swivel action. This allows you to thread the adapter into a valve box or manifold without having to twist the entire length of the pipe, preventing kinks and reducing installation stress.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting adapts 1" tubing to 1" threads.

Follow these steps to connect your lateral line to a threaded component.
Step 1: Install the Threaded End
Apply thread seal tape to the male threads. Screw the adapter into your valve, filter, or manifold. Hand-tighten firmly.
Step 2: Prep the Pipe
Cut your 1" Blu-Lock tubing cleanly and squarely. Ensure the end is free of dirt and debris to guarantee a perfect seal.
Step 3: Push to Connect
Insert the tubing end firmly into the Blu-Lock socket until it stops. You will feel it pass the internal grip ring.
Step 4: Verify
Pull back gently on the tubing to ensure it is locked in place. The fitting will swivel around the pipe, allowing you to position the rest of the line easily.
Check your sizes carefully:
