The Tape Loc x Male End Cap is the professional-grade solution for closing off the ends of your drip tape rows. Unlike simple "fold-over" methods, this fitting provides a positive, leak-proof seal that can handle pressure surges. Most importantly, it features a removable 3/4" hose cap on a Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet, allowing you to quickly flush out sediment and debris from your lines without removing the entire fitting.
Unlike simple "fold-and-crimp" methods that can leak or be difficult to undo, this professional irrigation fitting uses the proven Tape Loc nut to grip the tape securely. When it's time to flush out debris or winterize your system, simply unscrew the end cap—no need to disturb the tape connection itself.

Follow these steps to seal and maintain your drip tape rows.
Step 1: Prep the Tape
Ensure the threaded cap is screwed on tightly to the end of the fitting. 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 2: Prepare the Fitting
Rotate the Tape Loc nut backwards (towards the threaded end) to expose the sharp tape barb. Do not remove the nut completely.
Step 3: Insert and Lock
Slide the drip tape over the barb until it hits the stop. Twist the locking nut forward over the tape until hand-tight to complete the seal.
Step 4: Maintenance (Flushing)
To flush the line, simply unscrew the black 3/4" end cap while the system is pressurized. Once clear water flows, turn off the water and screw the cap back on.
