Connect a 1-1/4" female NPT threaded port directly to 1-1/4" ID polyethylene pipe, braided vinyl tubing, garden hose, or washdown line - no extra fittings needed. The fiberglass-reinforced nylon body with a 1-1/4" female NPT thread on one end and an ANKA captive blue compression nut on the other is the signature of the Watts ANKA agricultural fittings line: approved for potable water, non-corrosive in fertilizer and chlorinated lines, and rated 230 PSI at 140 deg F.

• Barb x 1-1/4" female NPT straight coupling for ID-sized PE pipe, tube, or hose
• Fiberglass-reinforced nylon - non-corrosive in fertilizer, chlorine, and saltwater
• Captive blue compression nut hand-tightens on the barb end; no clamps or tools needed
• UV stabilized for above-ground service; approved for potable water
• Max 230 PSI at 140 deg F; reusable after disassembly
• Double-barbed insert accommodates a range of PE wall thicknesses

The 1-1/4" female coupling is the agricultural and commercial-scale size: threads onto a 1-1/4" male nipple at a pump discharge, fire-tank port, or livestock waterer supply line. Common upstream of a manifold where the main steps down to 1" or smaller laterals via ANKA reducing fittings, or downstream of a large ag pressure regulator feeding a hobby-farm irrigation main.

Tip: Apply 2-3 wraps of PTFE thread tape to the mating male NPT threads - no pipe dope. A strap wrench on the male threaded mate gives controlled torque without crushing the nylon hex; channel locks on the ANKA body will crack it. Push the PE pipe fully past both barb shoulders before snugging the blue nut.
