Turn 90 degrees from a male NPT threaded port into 1" ID polyethylene pipe, braided vinyl tubing, garden hose, or washdown line - no extra fittings needed. The fiberglass-reinforced nylon body with a 1" male NPT 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" male NPT 90-degree elbow 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

Common 1" applications: main pump discharge or shut-off valve outlet bending into a 1" PE main run, commercial irrigation backflow manifold to lateral, marine washdown deck-supply turn, and the corner off a 1" filter housing or pressure regulator at the start of a long irrigation main. Often paired with ANKA reducing couplings downstream to break out to 1/2" or 3/4" laterals.

Tip: The 1" PE pipe end stiffens noticeably in cool weather - warm it in roughly 140 deg F tap water for 20-30 seconds before sliding it over the barbs. Use 2-3 wraps of PTFE thread tape on the NPT threads; let the joint cool before pressurizing so the pipe wall re-grips the barb shoulders.
