Rain BirdEAFPT-1S Drip Irrigation Elbow Adapter, 1/2" Female Pipe Thread x Easy Fit Universal Fitting, Fits All 1/2" and 5/8" Drip Tubing

Product does exactly what it was designed to. I connected this elbow to a 1/2 inch MNPT riser. Used some teflon tape to prevent any leaks, Then connected the other end to a 1/2inch irrigation distribution tube.Works perfect. No leaks. I use this elbow with the 1/2 inch distribution tubing to water plants that have a drip systems (i.e. 1/4 tubing with bard connectors).Don't see any water pressure problems..etec.BTW: I had to purchase this from Amazon several back because the local home improvement stores did not carry these.

Easy conversion from sprinklers to drip irrigation.

The "easy fit elbow w/ 30 psi regulator" style does not have a pressure regulator. It is simply an elbow with a 1/2 inch thread on one side.

After a few years, my first one of these developed microleaks and was emitting a fine spray from several tiny holes around the body of the part. This is MUCH preferable to the fittings with green/blue push fittings for the irritation pipe. We have a history of those blowing out due to our somewhat high water pressure. This one has a bushing inside the unit that prevents the pipe from shrinking and blowing out under water pressure. It works. I have never had the irrigation pipe separate from one of these.

It works and it swivels so you can unscrew the top of the adapter to clean out the filter.It is also pretty fragile seeming to have right next to the sidewalk. It is my complaint about all the rain bird press-fit connectors. I’ve just put them in, so maybe they are more durable than they seem.These rain bird fittings don’t work on some common 1/2” tubing because its walls are a little thicker. Barbed fittings work fine. I would like a more universal fit.

The name and description said it included a pressure regulator and it does not. It's just the elbow and easy fit threaded connector.

1 year after installation I have a 40% failure rate such that the fittings are completely falling apart at the seems. It is clearly a plastics quality or quality control issue.

This item is described as having a pressure regulator, or did I misread something? It is simply a 90 degree pipe fitting to irrigation tubing adaptor.
