RK17LF — Lay Flat Small Ears x 5/8" Tape Swivel Starter
The RK17LF starter connector allows 5/8" drip tape to be fed directly from lay flat hose. It punches into the wall of the lay flat hose using the RKPLF15 punch tool and locks in place with the small-ear threaded lock inlet. The swivel lock outlet accepts standard 5/8" drip tape. Commonly used in row crop and vegetable production where lay flat hose serves as the sub-main.

Swivel lock outlet: Accepts 5/8" drip tape with free rotation for clean row alignment
Compatible punch: Use RKPLF15 punch for correct hole size — do not use other punches
Low profile: Small-ear format keeps connectors close to the hose for neat field runs
