Green-Handle Male Thread to Drip Tape Valve

The wide green wing handle puts row control within reach at the start of the tape. A male threaded end joins the supply outlet, while a locking collar secures compatible tape on the opposite side. This arrangement suits rows that need individual shutoff when a connection is inspected or a bed is rearranged.

Choose the connection

Choose 16 or 20 mm tape connection with either 1/2- or 3/4-inch male thread. Match both ends separately. The receiving female thread standard and tape wall profile must suit the valve; nominal diameters alone do not prove compatibility.

Plan and fit the branch

Connect the threaded end with the supply off, using a sealing method appropriate to the receiving fitting. Seat compatible tape fully and tighten the collar by hand. Keep the handle clear of the adjacent pipework.

Flush and inspect

Support the supply outlet so the valve does not carry pipe strain. Restore water gradually, inspect both joints and check the row with the handle open and closed. Adjusting the opening does not provide automatic pressure regulation.
