Description

Navigate Corners without Kinks. Secure Tape Connections.

The Tape Loc Elbow is the professional solution for making 90-degree turns in your drip tape rows. Designed to work with standard 5/8" drip tape (including Aqua-Traxx and T-Tape), this fitting allows you to route water precisely where it is needed without stressing or kinking the tape.

Utilizing a positive locking nut mechanism, this elbow secures the tape firmly to the barb, ensuring a leak-proof seal even under pressure fluctuations. It is one of our most reliable irrigation fittings for row crop farmers and vegetable gardeners who require a durable, reusable connection that can withstand the elements and chemical fertilizers.

Why Choose Tape Loc Technology?
  • Leak-Proof Lock: The locking nut screws over the drip tape, compressing it against the extended barb for a secure hold that resists pull-out.
  • Reusable Design: Unlike single-use barbed fittings, Tape Loc fittings can be easily unscrewed and removed, allowing you to reconfigure your system season after season.
  • Chemical Resistant: Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, these fittings resist corrosion from agricultural chemicals, UV rays, and harsh weather conditions.
  • Easy Installation: No special tools or clamps are required. The large, textured nuts are designed for easy hand-tightening, making field repairs quick and simple.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Secure your drip tape in seconds.

Step 1: Prepare the Fitting
Rotate the locking nut backwards (towards the center of the elbow) to expose the barb. Do not remove the nut completely.

Step 2: Insert the Tape
Slide your 5/8" drip tape over the exposed barb until it hits the stop. Ensure the tape is straight and not bunched.

Step 3: Lock it Down
Twist the locking nut forward over the tape. This compresses the tape against the barb, creating a positive seal.

Step 4: Repeat
Repeat the process for the other side of the elbow to complete the 90-degree turn.
