Drip Tape Loc Sleeve Hose Starter Fitting
Hose Meets Drip Tape
The Drip Tape Loc Sleeve Hose Starter Fitting is a practical solution for gardeners and growers who want to connect drip tape lines directly to a hose spigot or hose fitting, bypassing the need for poly tubing. Ideal for compact gardens, temporary setups, or simplified irrigation layouts, this fitting ensures a secure connection for efficient water delivery.
Installation is simple: insert the barbed end into the drip tape and twist the locking sleeve to hold it firmly in place. This secure, leak-resistant connection is designed to perform reliably in both above-ground and in-ground setups. For optimal performance, be sure to regulate pressure between 5–15 psi using a pressure regulator.
Key features and benefits of the Drip Tape Loc Sleeve Hose Starter Fitting include:
- Allows direct connection of drip tape to standard garden hoses or spigots.
- Twist-lock mechanism ensures a secure, leak-free fit.
- Eliminates the need for poly tubing in simple irrigation setups.
- Works with low-pressure drip systems (5–15 psi) for optimal water flow.
- Compatible with 5, 8, or 15 mil drip tape for flexible application.
Pair this fitting with other irrigation essentials from our Drip Irrigation Collection to build a custom system that meets your garden's unique needs.
