Description

Split Your Rows. Create Custom Tape Grids.

The Tape Loc Tee is the essential component for branching your 5/8" Drip Tape system. This 3-way fitting allows you to split a single line of tape into two separate directions, or connect two incoming lines to a single outlet. It is perfect for creating grid layouts in raised beds or bypassing obstacles in long vegetable rows.

Featuring the reliable Tape Loc "reverse-locking" mechanism, this tee grips the thin wall of the drip tape securely without tearing it. Like all of our professional irrigation fittings for agriculture, it requires no glue or tools, allowing for quick adjustments in the field.

Why Choose Tape Loc Fittings?
  • Leak-Proof Seal: The locking nut spins forward over the tape, compressing it tightly against the elongated internal barb to prevent leaks even at low pressures.
  • Reusable Design: Perfect for seasonal farming. You can unlock the fittings, remove the tape, and store everything for the winter, then redeploy it next spring.
  • High Visibility: The distinct locking nuts make it easy to verify connections visually while walking your rows.
  • Chemical Resistant: Constructed from high-quality polypropylene to withstand UV exposure and agricultural fertilizers commonly used with drip tape.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Secure connections in seconds.

Step 1: Prep the Tape
Cut your drip tape squarely with scissors. Important: Check inside the cut end. If there is a hard plastic emitter inside the tape within the first inch, cut it off to ensure a smooth sealing surface.

Step 2: Unlock the Tee
Rotate the locking nuts counter-clockwise (backwards towards the center of the tee) to expose the internal barbs.

Step 3: Connect Tape
Slide the drip tape over the barb until it hits the stop. Ensure the tape is not folded or creased.

Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking nut clockwise (forward over the tape) until it is tight. Repeat for all connections.

✔ Compatibility Check

This fitting fits:

  • Standard 5/8" Drip Tape (often labeled as 16mm).
  • Wall thicknesses from 6 mil to 15 mil (Standard T-Tape, Aqua-Traxx).
  • It does NOT fit 1/2" Poly Tubing or 1/4" Soaker Hose.

Complete Your System

Everything you need for a successful tape installation:

  • Pressure Regulator: Tape is thin-walled! Always use a regulator (10-15 PSI max) to prevent blowouts.
  • Tape Loc Coupler: Keep a few on hand to quickly repair accidental cuts or shovel damage.
  • Tape Loc End Cap: The easiest way to close off the end of your tape rows with flush capability.
  • Punch Tool: Needed if you are connecting tape headers to a mainline supply.
