16 mm Lock-Ring Elbow with 1/2 Inch Male Thread

Build a secure irrigation connection

This lock-ring male elbow turns a drip branch at a threaded outlet. One end retains the line with a locking ring; the other has a male thread. The right-angle body helps route the branch without forcing a sharp bend into the line.

Choose the correct fit

Check the line and threaded port separately. Confirm a 16 mm line suited to a lock-ring insert and a female port accepting the specified male thread. The thread standard is not stated here; verify it before pairing components. A half-inch label alone does not prove two thread types are interchangeable.

Available connection sizes

16 mm line connection x 1/2 inch male thread. Select the required option when ordering. Supplied as one selected fitting.

Install and check the joint

Prepare a square line end, seat it fully and secure the retaining ring. Assemble the threaded end with a sealing method suitable for the confirmed thread type. Position the elbow so the line runs naturally. Support the branch rather than leaving its weight hanging from the threaded joint.

Run water through the assembled line and inspect both connection points during the first irrigation cycle. Stop the supply before adjusting a joint. Use the fitting within the operating limits of the matched line and system components; no pressure rating is specified for this item.

Common questions

Can this replace a straight adapter?

It provides a line-to-thread transition while turning the connection through a right angle. Check clearance around the port before choosing the elbow.

What should I check before buying?

Confirm the connection size, mating line type and sufficient access to seat and secure the fitting. Replace torn or distorted line ends before assembling the joint.
