Green-Handle Locking Pipe-to-Tape Valve

A green-handle locking pipe-to-tape valve connects an irrigation pipe run to drip tape and adds a manual control point between them. Its two ends serve different connections: one is a pipe barb and the other is a tape insert with a retaining nut. Select the 16 × 16 mm or 20 × 16 mm option to suit the planned connection.

Two different ends for a pipe-to-tape joint

The pipe end has a ridged barb that seats inside compatible tubing. The tape end uses a locking nut to retain the tape on its insert. Identify both ends before assembly so that the pipe and tape are connected to the appropriate side. This valve is useful where a round supply line transitions into a drip tape row.

Select the connection combination

• 16 × 16 mm connection option.
• 20 × 16 mm connection option.
• Green hand-operated handle.
• One locking nut on the tape connection.

Check both the pipe and tape dimensions, including their actual fit and wall construction. Similar nominal labels on another fitting do not guarantee compatibility. Match the entire connection combination rather than choosing solely from the handle color or the size of one end.

Install and inspect the transition

Turn off the supply and release trapped pressure. Prepare clean, square line ends, seat the pipe over its barb and fit the tape fully onto the tape insert. Secure the retaining nut without twisting or folding the tape. Support the surrounding lines and leave the handle accessible. Restore the water gradually, then check both connections for leaks. Release pressure before loosening either end during future service.

Sold as one valve in the selected connection size. Pipe, tape and installation accessories are separate.
