1/2" .700 OD Compression Coupling x 1/2" PVC slip

When designing or installing an irrigation system, you will often run into situations where you need two different fitting types, but nobody makes them together in one piece. We know, because we've been doing this for over 25 years! This fitting uses a schedule 40 PVC coupler as a base to create a fitting with 1/2" slip on one end and 1/2" compression (for .700 OD poly tubing) on the other. To use the compression end, push the tubing into the end of the fitting firmly and at an angle, then walk it up and down while pushing in until the tubing is inside the fitting by at least half an inch. Be aware that once you've gotten the tubing into the fitting it's very difficult to remove it!

Want to make something like this yourself? Check out the LF015 and LF076 compression inserts. You can glue those into PVC slip fittings of a matching size to turn a slip fitting into a compression fitting.
