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, making it one of our most popular irrigation fittings for vegetable farms and large garden rows.
Ensure you are connecting the right materials.

This fitting has two different locking mechanisms.
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.
Ensure your tape system is efficient and durable:
