Accidents Happen. Fix Them Fast with the Basic Tubing Repair Kit.
Whether a rogue lawnmower clipped your mainline, an enthusiastic puppy found a new chew toy, or a shovel sliced through a hidden tube, garden accidents are inevitable. The Basic Tubing Repair Kit provides the absolute essential components to get your drip irrigation system back up and running in under 60 seconds.
Available in both 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch variations to match your system, this focused, emergency repair kit includes six of our premium “Easy Loc” Couplers and five 1-foot sections of blank Poly Tubing. This specific combination allows you to seamlessly splice together a clean break or completely bridge a gap where a larger section of tubing was destroyed.
Designed for absolute simplicity, this kit requires no special tools, glue, or heat. Simply cut out the damaged section, push the fresh tubing into the Easy Loc Couplers, and twist to lock. It’s the perfect, low-cost insurance policy to keep on hand in your garden shed so you never have to delay watering your plants during the hot summer months.
This kit provides simple solutions for the most common mainline damage scenarios.
Scenario 1: Splicing a Clean Cut
If your tubing was cleanly sliced, use a tubing cutter to ensure both sides of the break are straight and clean. Take one Easy Loc Coupler, push the two clean ends of your existing Mainline Tubing into either side of the fitting, and twist the locking nuts tight to restore water flow securely.
Scenario 2: Bridging a Large Gap
If a section of tubing is crushed, mangled, or missing, cut out the entire damaged area. Take one of the included 1-foot pieces of Poly Tubing. Attach an Easy Loc Coupler to both ends of this new 1-foot piece. Finally, connect this new “bridge” assembly to the two open ends of your existing mainline.
Scenario 3: Expanding a Line
While primarily for repairs, you can also use the included tubing and couplers to quickly extend a mainline by a few feet if you need just a bit more reach at the end of a garden bed.
