Description

Absolute Flow Control. Industrial Strength Reliability.

The 1" Easy Loc Coupler with Shutoff Valve gives you immediate, manual control over the water flow in your large-diameter mainline tubing. Whether you need to isolate a specific zone for maintenance, shut off a section during harvest, or temporarily stop flow to clean your irrigation filter, this robust valve gets the job done without leaks.

Featuring the industry-leading "Perma-Loc" locking mechanism, this unit connects two pieces of 1" polyethylene tubing securely. It acts as both a coupling and a regulator, making it one of the most versatile irrigation fittings for commercial growers and large residential systems requiring high-flow management.

Why Choose Easy Loc Valves?
  • Leak-Proof Lock: The locking collar screws over the tubing, compressing it against the internal barb. This creates a seal that withstands higher pressures and temperature fluctuations better than standard insert fittings.
  • Smooth Operation: The large handle provides easy leverage for turning the water on or off, even with wet or muddy hands.
  • Reusable Design: Unlike glued PVC or crimped clamps, Easy Loc fittings can be unscrewed and reused, making system expansions or repairs simple and cost-effective.
  • Chemical Resistant: Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, this valve resists damage from UV rays and common agricultural chemicals.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Installation is tool-free and fast.

Step 1: Prep the Tubing
Ensure your 1" poly tubing has a clean, square cut. Rotate the locking collars on the valve backwards (towards the center of the valve) to expose the barb.

Step 2: Insert Tubing
Push the tubing onto the barb until it hits the internal stop. It may require a little force/wiggling to get over the barb ridges.

Step 3: Lock it Down
Twist the locking collar forward (over the tubing) until tight. This compresses the tubing onto the barb for a leak-proof seal.

Step 4: Test
Turn on your system and operate the handle to ensure flow control is functioning correctly.
