Description

Seamless Transition. Mainline to Micro.

The 1/2" Easy Loc x 1/4" Barb Adapter is the specialized fitting for transitioning from standard 1/2" mainline tubing directly to 1/4" micro tubing. Whether you are running a dedicated line to a hanging basket, a container plant, or a small raised bed, this adapter ensures a secure, leak-proof connection without the need for complex manifolds or punched holes.

As one of our unique irrigation fittings, it combines the security of the "Easy Loc" locking collar (for the 1/2" side) with a precision-molded 1/4" barb. This allows you to easily attach 1/4" distribution tubing or soaker line to the end of a 1/2" run, making it a favorite for patio gardeners and nursery setups.

Why Choose Easy Loc Technology?
  • Direct Adaptation: Instantly converts a 1/2" tubing end into a 1/4" connection point, eliminating the need for goof plugs or hole punches.
  • Secure Locking Technology: The large locking collar screws over the 1/2" tubing, compressing it against the internal barb for a connection that won't pop off under pressure.
  • Tool-Free Installation: No clamps or glues required. Simply hand-tighten the nut on the 1/2" side and push your 1/4" tubing onto the barbed end.
  • Fully Reusable: Need to change your layout? Unscrew the collar and remove the fitting to use it elsewhere.
  • Durable Construction: Made from high-quality polypropylene with UV stabilizers to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to connect your micro tubing.

Step 1: Prep 1/2" Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely. Ensure the end is clean and free of burrs.

Step 2: Attach Easy Loc End
Rotate the large locking collar backwards to expose the internal barb. Push the 1/2" tubing over the barb until it stops. Twist the collar forward to lock it down.

Step 3: Prep 1/4" Tubing
Cut your 1/4" micro tubing to the desired length. If the weather is cold, dip the end in warm water to soften it slightly.

Step 4: Connect Micro Tubing
Push the 1/4" tubing firmly onto the exposed 1/4" barb. Ensure it slides over the barb ridges for a secure hold.
