Configuración e instalación
Follow these steps for a quick and secure connection without the need for additional tools.
Image: Visual guide demonstrating the three steps for connecting the adapter: twisting onto MHT, pushing tubing onto barbed ends, and tightening the locking nut.
- Step 1: Connect to 3/4" MHT Component
Twist the 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) end of the adapter onto any 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) component, such as a garden faucet, hose bibb, or timer. Hand-tighten until snug. The internal rubber gasket will create a seal. - Step 2: Attach 1/2" Drip Tubing
Push the 1/2" drip irrigation tubing firmly onto the barbed end of the adapter. Ensure the tubing covers all barbs for a secure fit. If the tubing is stiff, briefly warm the end of the tubing in hot water to make it more pliable. - Step 3: Secure with Locking Nut
Slide the threaded locking nut over the tubing and screw it onto the adapter body. Tighten the nut by hand to further secure the tubing and prevent it from slipping off under pressure.
