Dramm - PolyLoc In-Line Ball Valve

Brand: Dramm

PolyLoc In-Line Ball Valve

A shut-off spliced directly into a PE lateral, so one bench, bay or zone can be closed without running a threaded riser back to the header. Both ends are PolyLoc ports of the same size: 16mm on the 16mm option, 25mm on the 25mm option. These two are the only PolyLoc parts Dramm names in its published drip irrigation literature, as 'Valve 16mm PolyLoc x 16mm Polyloc' and 'Valve 25mm PolyLoc x 25mm Polyloc'.

The only choice is the tubing the valve splices into. The 16mm x 16mm valve goes into 16mm PE lateral and the 25mm x 25mm into 25mm PE; both ends of each valve are the same size, so neither one reduces or steps the line. There is no other published difference between them. If the shut-off has to screw onto a PVC header outlet instead of splicing into tubing, that version exists in 16mm as an EasyLoc valve with a male pipe thread inlet, not in PolyLoc.

Key Features

• Isolates one bench, bay or zone without shutting the house down

• Offered in both PE sizes Dramm lists for PolyLoc
• The 25mm option covers a line size EasyLoc does not reach
• Grip rings and coupling nuts stocked separately in both sizes

Ideal Applications

• Isolating a bench, bay or zone for repair while the rest of the house runs
• Balancing flow between laterals on a long overhead or mist run
• Shutting a lateral off seasonally when a bay is out of production

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.
