Hydro-Rain 1/2" Drip-lock x 3/4" FHT is used to attach your 1/2" tubing to any standard garden hose or outdoor faucet connection.
Garden Hose Threads (GHT, FHT, MHT) are unique in that they make the water-tight seal with a flexible washer between the two connection pieces. Thread seal tape is not recommended since it can inhibit the full threading together of the pieces, thus not allowing a tight leak-proof seal. GHT are not compatible with NPT or IPT/IPS fittings commonly found in iron pipe or PVC water systems.HydroRain has made drip irrigation even faster and easier with the Drip-Lock removable/reusable fittings for low pressure 1/2" poly tubing with .630" - .710 (16 - 18 mm) outside diameter tubing. The oversized seal and durable gripping teeth will hold almost any brand of half inch poly tubing and dripline.
