Product Description
Compression adapters allow you to convert PVC fittings to compression fittings. This compression adapter fitting is glued into a 3/4" PVC elbow, coupling, or tee and converts it to a 3/4" drip tubing compression fitting (940 series).
Great for sprinkler-to-drip retrofit projects. Install a drip regulator and filter near your sprinkler system valve. Connect it to the existing PVC pipe. Cap off sprinklers and add compression adapters to your existing PCV pipe out in the field. Run 3/4" .940 OD poly tubing from there.

Tips & Tricks
Upgrade Your Drip Hole Punch & Save Time
A clean cut makes it easier
Some drip irrigation hole punches are shaped like a pencil and simply poke a hole as they push through the tubing. They require more force and can slip off of the drip tubing before they make the hole. The Super Punch (shown here) has a squeeze handle and is only $9.90. A less expensive option is our Deluxe Hole Punch which has a sharp, circular cutting edge. It's comfotable, easy on your hands, and costs only $3.60.
A Paper Clip Quickly Cleans a Hole Punch
Insert the wire to clear the tool
A good hole punch will actually cut a tiny circle out of the drip tubing. The plug of tubing can be removed from the cutting edge of the punch with a paper clip. Push it through the cutting end to clear any plastic debris.
Control Water Flow to Flower Pots With This Little Valve
1/4" Flow Conrol Valve inserts into micro tubing
If you use drip irrigation to water hanging baskets or flower pots, put a 1/4" flow control valve on each pot. You can reduce the flow or shut it off completely. It's handy if the pot is has not yet been planted and you don't want to water it.
Fix Little Holes With a Goof Plug
Doubles as a 1/4" end plug
If you make a mistake and poke a hole in the wrong place on a drip line, insert a goof plug (small barb). If the hole gets worn and leaks a little, pull the plug out and use the large barbed end. Goof plus are also used to plug the end of 1/4" micro tubing.
Adjust Water Flow to Garden Boxes With a Flow Control Valve
1/2" Valve fits over mainline tubing
These valves are great when you have garden boxes or drip areas that you may want to turn off seasonally. You can reduce the flow or shut it off completely. 1/2" Flow Control Valves are installed just like a compression coupler.
Fix Big Holes With a Coupler
If a goof plug won't do the trick
If you have a hole in a mainline poly pipe that is bigger than a goof plug, a compression coupling is the fitting to use. Make a clean cut and insert the two tubes into each end of the coupler. No glue required.
Threaded End Caps Make Winterizing Easy
Unscrew cap to flush or drain drip tubing
Install them now and thank yourself later. A threaded cap at the end of the drip line allows you to flush the line to clean it and drain the line of water before freezing winter temperatures set in. Learn more about winterizing your irrigation system.
FAQ
- How do I add on to my existing drip system?
We have a great selection of drip tubing coupling adapters for varying sizes of drip tubing. They are color coded. The first step is to determine the Outer Diameter (OD) of your tubing.
Common OD dimensions are:
.700 inches (called “700") Black fittings - 700 Compression Coupler
.620 inches (called “620”) Green-ringed fittings - 700 x 620 Compression Adapter
.710 inches (called “710”) Blue-ringed fittings - 700 x 710 Compression Adapter
.580 inches (called “580”) Yellow-ringed fittings - 700 x 580 Compression Adapter
.455 inches called "455") Red-ringed fittings - 700 x 455 Compression Adapter
If you find that your existing tubing is not 700, simply add the appropriate coupling adapter to your order to go from your tubing to 700.View our Installing Drip Tubing & Fittings tutorial for more details.
- Can I bury my drip tubing?
We do not recommend burying drip tubing in the soil. However, a layer of mulch on top will extend the lifespan of the drip tubing. Buy Drip tubing here.
