Dramm EasyLoc Inline Valve | 3in MPT x 16mm

3in MPT x 16mm EasyLoc Inline Shutoff Valve

Shutting off a single branch of a PE tubing distribution line usually means cutting the line and adding a fitting that needs its own clamp. The Dramm EasyLoc Inline Valve inserts directly into the line and shuts it off without one.

Sold individually, 3in MPT x 16mm.

Key Features & Benefits

• Shuts off PE line — gives you a dedicated on/off point along a 16mm tubing run.
• Insert as needed — installs directly into an existing PE tubing line.
• Barb and compression nut included — comes with both components for the connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this inline valve do?

It shuts off PE line, giving you a dedicated on/off point along a 16mm tubing run. You insert it directly into the line as needed rather than adding it only at a line's end.

Do I need a separate clamp for this valve?

No — it comes with a barb and compression nut and needs no additional clamp. That matches the rest of Dramm's EasyLoc fitting line.

What size line does this valve fit?

It's sized 3in MPT x 16mm, connecting a 3in male pipe thread fitting to 16mm PE tubing. Confirm your line matches 16mm before ordering.

Can this be added to an existing line, or only during initial installation?

It can be inserted as needed into an existing PE tubing run, not just planned into a new installation. That makes it useful for adding shutoff control to a system already in place.

How do I install this valve?

Cut the 16mm PE tubing where you want the shutoff point, insert the valve body, and tighten the compression nuts on each side by hand. No additional hose clamp is required to complete the seal.
