The Tape Loc x Male Hose Thread (MHT) Adapter is the perfect bridge between standard garden accessories and high-efficiency drip tape. Featuring 3/4" Male Hose Threads, this adapter allows you to connect 5/8" drip tape directly to items like hose bib timers, garden hoses, or manifold outlets.
Whether you are starting a row crop system from a backyard spigot or branching off a garden hose, this fitting provides a secure, tool-free connection. It is a highly versatile choice among professional irrigation fittings for home gardeners and market farmers who need to adapt agricultural-grade tape to residential water sources. We strongly recommend installing this fitting downstream from a pressure regulator to ensure your tape remains within its safe operating range.

Transition from your garden hose to drip tape in seconds.
Step 1: Connect the Threads
Thread the 3/4" MHT end of the adapter into your chosen female garden hose swivel, hose timer, or Y-valve. Ensure the internal washer of the female fitting is in place. Hand-tighten firmly.
Step 2: Prepare the Tape Loc
Rotate the locking nut counter-clockwise (backwards) toward the threaded end to expose the tape barb. Do not remove the nut.
Step 3: Insert the Tape
Slide your 5/8" drip tape over the barb until it hits the plastic stop. Ensure the tape is straight and not bunched at the base.
Step 4: Lock it Down
Twist the locking nut clockwise (forward) over the tape. This compresses the tape against the barb for a leak-proof seal.
