Use this fitting when attaching our 1/2-in poly tubing to run a water supply to micro or drip irrigation in opposite directions off an existing underground irrigation system
This fitting will attach to a PVC riser with a 1/2-in FNPT
Once this fitting is attached to the PVC riser then next attach the 1/2-in poly tubing by first pushing back the locking collar to expose the barb with a built in O-ring
Next push and wiggle the 1/2-in poly onto the fitting and under the collar until snug
Now while holding the tubing with 1 hand turn the ears of the collar in a left counter clockwise motion to tightened and lock onto the 1/2-in poly tubing
This fitting can be uninstalled easily by unthreading the collar in a clockwise motion then by pulling off the 1/2-in poly
If you find it difficult to get the 1/2-in poly tubing onto the fitting, use a little olive oil or vegetable oil by wiping it on the inside of the wall of 1/2-in poly then push in the fittings.
