Straight Lock-Nut Drip Tape Repair Coupler

Repair a drip tape row without replacing the whole lateral

A cut, puncture or planned row extension can leave two open tape ends. This straight coupler joins them in line so water can continue down the lateral. A separate locking collar at each end holds the tape after it is pushed onto the barbed connector.

One fitting for two tape ends

Trim away damaged tape and make clean, square cuts. Slide a tape end onto each side of the connector, then tighten both blue collars by hand. Keep the run straight while checking the joint under flow.

Two independent locking points

Each side locks separately, so you can inspect and reseat one connection without disturbing the other end of the row. The center body keeps the repaired section in line with the tape.

Fit and ordering notes

Choose the 16 mm or 20 mm option only when both tape ends are the matching nominal size. Check the actual tape diameter before ordering because tape dimensions differ between suppliers. This selection is one repair coupler; drip tape is separate.

• Joins two straight lengths of drip tape.
• Useful for a field repair or planned lateral extension.
