Rain Bird BF-62-50 lock quick union coupling to ½-inch F - lock fitting for 16 mm tubing

Adapter from 16 mm tubing to ½" female thread

The Rain Bird BF-62-50 is a straight lock fitting with a 16 mm Lock Quick connection and a ½" female thread. It allows suitable 16 mm dripline or distribution tubing to be connected directly to an irrigation component with a compatible ½" male threaded connection.

This makes the BF-62-50 an ideal transition between 16 mm irrigation tubing and components with threaded connections. It can be used when installing a new drip irrigation system as well as when extending or modifying an existing irrigation layout.

16 mm lock fitting to ½" female thread

On the tubing side, the BF-62-50 features a Rain Bird Lock Quick connection for suitable irrigation tubing with a 16 mm outside diameter. The opposite side features a ½" female threaded connection.

This allows 16 mm irrigation tubing to be connected directly to a component with a corresponding ½" male thread. Combining both connection types in one fitting helps create a compact and organised irrigation installation.

Secure Lock Quick connection

The Rain Bird Lock Quick system is designed to provide an easy and secure connection for irrigation tubing. The tubing is inserted into the locking connection and securely fixed in place without the need to glue the tubing end.

The straightforward installation makes the BF-62-50 suitable for both new irrigation systems and subsequent extensions. It provides a convenient transition from 16 mm tubing to a conventional threaded irrigation connection.

For dripline and distribution tubing

Rain Bird specifies the Lock Quick fittings for use with dripline as well as suitable blank and distribution tubing. The locking connection is designed for tubing with a 16 mm outside diameter.

The BF-62-50 can therefore be used in drip irrigation systems for planting beds, hedges, shrubs, raised beds and other landscaped areas. Rain Bird XF Dripline is also among the intended applications of the Lock Quick fitting system.

Practical transition to male threaded components

Different connection types are often combined within a drip irrigation system. While dripline and distribution tubing commonly use locking fittings, other irrigation components feature conventional threaded connections.

The BF-62-50 connects these two systems. Its ½" female thread accepts a compatible component with a male thread, while the 16 mm irrigation tubing is connected on the opposite side using the Lock Quick fitting.
