The Tape End Plug (Loc Sleeve) is the industry-standard solution for closing off the ends of your 5/8" drip tape runs. Featuring a reliable "twist-lock" ring design, this fitting creates a watertight seal without the need for messy glues or difficult hose clamps. It is an essential component among our irrigation fittings for row crops, vegetable gardens, and farms using standard drip tape.
Designed for durability and ease of use, the Loc Sleeve technology allows you to open and close the line as needed. This is particularly useful for flushing debris from your system at the beginning or end of the season—simply unscrew the locking nut, remove the tape to flush, and re-attach.

Secure your drip tape in seconds.
Step 1: Prepare the Tape
Cut the end of your drip tape square using scissors or a cutting tool. Ensure the cut is clean and free of jagged edges.
Step 2: Unlock the Fitting
Twist the locking sleeve (nut) backwards towards the center of the fitting body to expose the barb.
Step 3: Insert Tape
Slide the drip tape over the barb until it hits the stop. The tape should go under the locking sleeve area.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking sleeve forward (over the tape) until tight. This compresses the tape against the barb for a leak-proof seal.
