Fold-Over Drip Line End Closure

A fold-over drip line end closure holds the folded end of flexible irrigation tubing in place. Its two connected rings provide a simple way to finish a drip run while keeping an opening point for flushing. Choose the 16 mm, 20 mm or 25 mm option that fits your tubing.

Choose the closure for your drip line

Check the tubing diameter and wall thickness before ordering. The closure must accommodate both the straight tube and its folded end. A nominal size alone does not guarantee that tubing from another range will fit. Use flexible tubing that can fold without cracking; this closure is not intended to cap rigid pipe.

• 16 mm option for a matching 16 mm drip line.
• 20 mm option for a matching 20 mm drip line.
• 25 mm option for a matching 25 mm drip line.

How to close the line end

1. Flush the open line to remove loose debris, then turn off the water.
2. Pass the tube end through one ring of the closure.
3. Fold the tube back and pass the folded end through the second ring so the closure holds the fold.
4. Run the irrigation zone and check the end for leakage or movement.

Leave access for flushing

Place the closure where you can reach it at the end of the drip run. With the water off, release the folded end when the line needs flushing. Open the water supply to wash debris out, then turn it off before securing the tubing again. Check the fold for damage before each reclosure.

Common questions

Is this an automatic flush valve?

No. This fitting holds a tubing fold closed; opening and reclosing the line is a manual task.

Will one closure fit every drip tube?

Match the selected size and check the actual tubing fit. Tubing wall thickness and flexibility affect how the fold sits in the rings.
