The Tape Loc x Female Hose Swivel (FHS) is the essential adapter for connecting your drip tape rows directly to a standard outdoor spigot or garden hose. Featuring a 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) swivel, this fitting allows you to attach your tape without twisting the entire line, ensuring a clean, stress-free installation. It is the ideal starting point for raised beds, garden plots, and small-scale farms using agricultural-grade drip tape.
Designed for durability and ease of use, the swivel connection includes a rubber washer to create a watertight seal against any male hose thread outlet. As one of our most popular irrigation fittings for residential and light commercial use, it provides a professional-grade transition from high-pressure home water sources to the low-pressure requirements of drip tape systems.

Start your drip irrigation rows in four easy steps.
Step 1: Check the Washer
Ensure the black rubber hose washer is seated flat inside the 3/4" female swivel nut. This is critical for a leak-free connection.
Step 2: Connect to Source
Screw the swivel nut onto your garden hose, hose bib timer, or pressure regulator. Hand-tighten until snug. Do not use pliers, as this can damage the plastic threads.
Step 3: Prepare the Tape End
Rotate the Tape Loc nut backwards (towards the swivel end) to expose the sharp tape barb. Slide your 5/8" drip tape over the barb until it hits the plastic stop.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking nut forward (clockwise) over the tape. Tighten firmly by hand to compress the tape against the barb and complete the seal.
