Netafim TechLock Fittings are compression-style connectors for 17mm Netafim dripline and UV polyethylene tubing. Unlike standard barbed insert fittings, TechLock uses a threaded cap and compression ring system to create a higher-pressure, reusable connection - rated to 100 PSI with 67 ft-lbs of pull-out resistance.
Available as tees, elbows, couplers, and 3/4" male adapters. Dark brown color blends with dripline and substrate. Use to build or repair any 17mm Netafim Techline system.
