Product Overview
Brand: LECTO
Features:
- Dual Repair & Extension Capability: Designed to repair or extend existing 5/8", 1/2", and .700" drip tubing with a simple plastic coupler and stainless steel clamps. Includes stainless steel hose clamps that secure the coupler for a leak-resistant fit under typical drip-irrigation pressure.
- Broad Compatibility & Compact Storage: Fits most major drip-line brands (Rain Bird, Netafim, Orbit) and standard tubing dimensions (5/8", 1/2", .700" ID). Compact package keeps coupler and clamps neatly organized in small garden toolboxes or tackle boxes.
- Durable Plastic Coupler: Made of UV-resistant, impact-tough plastic, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor environments without cracking or warping. Plastic design minimizes corrosion risk compared to some metal couplers that can rust over time.
- Easy Installation: Simply cut and insert tubing into the plastic coupler, then tighten each stainless steel clamp using an ordinary screwdriver—no specialized tools required. Comparable to popular garden hose-mender kits where clamps prevent slippage, ensuring a snug fit with minimal effort.
- Space-Saving Design: Compact and organized kit ensures all components are neatly stored and easily accessible when needed.Stainless Steel Hose Clamps Includes type 304-grade stainless steel worm-gear clamps that resist rust, provide high tensile strength, and maintain a tight seal on plastic tubing. Clamps work in temperatures from –20 °C to 80 °C, making them suitable for seasonal freeze/thaw cycles.
Details: Keep your drip irrigation system operating at peak efficiency with the LECTO Universal Drip Line Repair & Extension Kit. This updated kit includes a UV-resistant plastic coupler designed for 5/8", 1/2", and .700" tubing, plus two 304-grade stainless steel hose clamps that resist corrosion and maintain a leak-proof seal. Whether you need to repair a cracked line or extend an existing run, simply slide the tubing ends into the coupler, tighten each clamp with a flathead screwdriver, and resume watering immediately. The durable plastic coupler withstands outdoor elements—sun exposure, temperature swings, and occasional knocks—while the stainless steel clamps ensure a firm grip under normal operating pressures. Designed for DIY gardeners and professional landscapers, this kit is compatible with most drip-line brands (Rain Bird, Netafim, Orbit) and installs quickly without special tools. Keep this compact repair & extension solution on hand for fast fixes and seamless irrigation expansions whenever you need them. Plastic Coupler Details: Material: High-density UV-stabilized plastic (resistant to cracking and brittleness over time). Dimensions: Fits 5/8", 1/2", and .700" ID tubing; see usage tips below for measuring properly. Clamps: Type 304-grade stainless steel worm-gear clamps are included. Usage Tips: Trim Tubing Ends Cleanly: Use a razor-sharp blade or tubing cutter to cut edges squarely; jagged ends can cause leaks. Verify Tubing Size: Measure your tubing outer diameter with a caliper; if tubing appears tight, warm it briefly in the sun to improve flexibility before inserting. Position Clamps Correctly: Place clamps 3–5 mm (1/16"–3/16") from the coupler’s ends to prevent tubing from slipping off under pressure. Ideal Scenarios: Fixing a burst section of tubing without replacing large runs. Adding an extra irrigation zone by extending existing drip lines. On-site emergency repairs when water must be restored quickly.
