Utilize DIG’s Universal NUTLOC™ Drip Fittings to seamlessly link drip tubing or dripline of varying sizes, ranging from 1/2” to 5/8”, encompassing dimensions like .530 ID, .600 ID, and up to .620 ID (equivalent to .630 OD to .710 OD, or 16, 17, and 18 mm). They emerge as a practical solution when facing uncertainties regarding the precise size of drip tubing or dripline, ensuring that a secure connection is established between varying sizes.
Catering to both residential users and professionals alike, the Universal NUTLOC™ Drip Fittings stand as a testament to quality. Crafted from high-impact plastic and fortified with UV protection, these fittings are designed to facilitate seamless connections between an array of drip irrigation tubing and dripline of varying sizes. Employing a meticulously engineered combination of a stepped barb and a threaded nut, these fittings enable the secure joining of two sections of dripline or drip tubing. By gently inserting the drip tubing or dripline into the barbed edges of the fitting and then threading the nuts counterclockwise over the drip tubing or dripline, a remarkably firm and reliable grip is achieved.

About
The Universal NUTLOC™ drip Fittings provide a simple, low-cost method for the installation of dripline and drip tubing. Using the double barbed fittings, dripline or drip tubing is pushed over the barbs for a very tight fit.
The Universal NUTLOC™ drip fittings are made from high-impact plastic material to withstand any installation application. They are available to fit various sizes of drip tubing and dripline from 1/2” to 5/8”, providing a simple solution when connecting two ends of drip irrigation tubing or dripline that are not the same size. The fittings use an assembly configuration that includes a barb, a nut with female thread and a male thread adapter to connect different sizes of drip tubing and dripline. They hold the drip tubing or dripline from the inside with the barb and from the outside with a compression-type threaded nut.
To connect any two sizes of poly drip tubing with .530 ID, .600 ID or .620 ID, use the following steps:
Installation Steps
Before attaching the drip tubing or dripline, ensure that the nut is threaded towards the center of the fitting. Once the nut is in position, push the tubing over the barb until it fits snugly.
To firmly secure the drip tubing or dripline, thread the nut in a clockwise direction until it is tight.
To detach the tubing, turn the nut counterclockwise. Then wiggle the tubing until it slides out of the barb.
