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.

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.
Ensure this fits your tape:
