Netafim™ TechLock Adapter Fitting — 17mm TechLock × 3/4in MPT

Netafim™ TechLock Adapter Fitting — 17mm TechLock × 3/4in MPT

The Netafim™ TechLock Adapter Fitting bridges TechLock-compatible 16-17mm outside diameter driplines and polyethylene tubing to 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connectors, valves, and manifold ports. Designed for quick field installation and reuse, it secures with the TechLock locking mechanism — eliminating the need for clamps, barbs, or tools — while maintaining a rated pull-out resistance of 67 ft/lb to keep connections intact under system pressure and movement.

The fitting supports a broad operating pressure range of 0-100 psi and a working temperature range of 32-140°F, making it reliable across greenhouse, outdoor, and indoor growing environments where temperature swings are common. Compatible with Techlink® and other TechLock-series driplines, it simplifies manifold assembly and repair in professional drip irrigation systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• TechLock × 3/4in MPT Configuration — Connects 17mm TechLock driplines directly to 3/4-inch threaded manifold ports, valves, and headers without additional adapters.
• Quick Field Installation & Reuse — TechLock mechanism requires no tools; insert and lock in seconds, remove and reuse for system reconfigurations.
• 67 ft/lb Pull-Out Resistance — High retention force keeps connections secure under system pressure and thermal expansion cycling.
• 0-100 psi Rated — Handles the full range of typical drip irrigation operating pressures without leakage or fitting failure.
• 32-140°F Working Temperature — Reliable in greenhouse and outdoor environments with significant temperature variation.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse and indoor growing facility irrigation technicians installing or modifying drip systems with TechLock-compatible driplines use this adapter to connect drip lines to threaded manifolds, solenoid valves, and PVC or poly headers without additional conversion fittings. Its reusability makes it ideal for seasonally reconfigured growing operations.

Compatibility

Compatible with 16-17mm OD TechLock-series driplines and polyethylene tubing. 3/4-inch MPT end connects to standard 3/4-inch FPT fittings. Sold in packs of 25. Apply PTFE thread tape to MPT threads before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fitting work with driplines other than Netafim brands?

The TechLock mechanism is compatible with standard 16-17mm OD polyethylene dripline tubing. Verify OD compatibility with your specific dripline before ordering.

How do I remove the TechLock fitting from the dripline?

Insert the TechLock release clip into the fitting collar to disengage the locking teeth, then slide the dripline out. Netafim provides specific release tools for clean, damage-free removal.

Can this fitting be used with PVC pipe?

The TechLock socket end is designed for flexible polyethylene dripline, not rigid PVC pipe. The 3/4-inch MPT end connects to any standard 3/4-inch FPT fitting, including PVC.

Is this fitting sold individually or in packs?
