Locking Drip Tape Takeoff Valve with Grommet

Control a tape row at its supply

The takeoff inlet, separate sealing grommet and locking tape outlet connect a supply pipe to a tape lateral. The green handle gives that row an individual shut-off point.

Prepare the correct opening

Select 16 or 20 mm tape fit and confirm the required punch opening, supply wall suitability and grommet dimensions. Make a clean opening, seat the seal without distortion and inspect both joints under operating pressure.

Keep the sealing parts matched

The pictured takeoff includes a separate grommet beside the valve and a locking outlet on the tape side. Those parts address different joints: the grommet seals at the supply opening, while the outlet retains the lateral. Confirm what the selected option includes and keep the seal matched to its inlet. Do not determine a punch size by measuring the tape diameter.

Maintain a clean row connection

Route the lateral so its weight and movement do not twist the takeoff in the supply wall. Leave the handle accessible when arranging nearby rows. After filling, inspect the supply opening as well as the tape outlet while the row is running. When changing a row, isolate water first and inspect the removed tape end, inlet and seal for damage. Replace unsuitable sealing parts before reconnecting rather than tightening the tape outlet to address an inlet leak.
