Dramm - EasyLoc 16mm Elbow
Brand: Dramm
EasyLoc 16mm Elbow
A 90 degree corner fitting for 16mm polyethylene lateral, using the same EasyLoc barb and reverse-threaded compression nut as the rest of the family. The inlet leg is a 16mm EasyLoc barb on both options; the outlet is either a second 16mm barb or a 3/4 in female hose thread swivel. Dramm's stated use is 90 degree corners in a manifold layout.
One choice: the outlet leg. The 16mm PE option is a second EasyLoc barb, for turning a lateral at the end of a bench, bed or bay and carrying on in tubing. The 3/4 in FHT Swivel option puts a female hose thread on the turn, so a run can start at a hose bib or end in a hose-thread cap or connection without an adaptor; HF in the part number is Dramm's code for female hose thread. Both are 16mm on the inlet, and EasyLoc is not made in 25mm - for a 25mm corner, look to the PolyLoc elbows.

PolyLoc is Dramm's compression fitting family for 16mm and 25mm PE tubing, EasyLoc is the separate barb-and-nut family Dramm makes in 16mm only, and PolyRail is the aluminum extrusion that same tubing snaps into; PipeLoc is an unrelated Dramm line for large PVC pipe and shares no parts with any of them.
