Connecting your supply header directly to a drip tape row has never been easier. The Tape Loc x 1/2" Easy Loc Coupler bridges the gap between two different types of tubing, allowing you to connect standard 1/2" polyethylene mainline directly to 5/8" drip tape.
This fitting features the best of both worlds: a Tape Loc nut to secure your thin-walled drip tape and an Easy Loc collar to grip your solid poly tubing. It creates a secure, leak-proof transition without the need for hose clamps or glue.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting connects two different types of tubing.

Step 1: Connect Poly Tubing (Easy Loc Side)
Rotate the locking collar on the Easy Loc side backwards to expose the barb. Push your 1/2" poly tubing over the barb. Twist the collar forward to lock it in place.
Step 2: Prepare Tape
Cut your drip tape squarely with scissors. Critical Tip: Inspect the cut end. If there is a hard plastic emitter inside the tape within the first inch, cut it off.
Step 3: Unlock (Tape Loc Side)
Rotate the locking nut on the tape side counter-clockwise (backwards) to expose the sharp tape barb.
Step 4: Connect Tape
Slide the drip tape over the barb until it hits the stop. Twist the locking nut clockwise (forward) to lock the tape securely.
Troubleshooting: If a leak appears on the tape side, ensure the tape is fully seated and not folded before retightening by hand.
This fitting is for 5/8" Drip Tape and 1/2" Poly Tubing ONLY.
