RK0017 – 13mm Grommet x 5/8" Drip Tape Starter Connector
The RK0017 starter connector provides a reliable, watertight entry point for 5/8" drip tape into lay-flat or poly mainline tubing. The 13mm double-lip grommet seals tightly against the punched hole, while the swivel lock outlet lets field crews attach and pull tape quickly across multiple rows.
Key Features
Double-lip grommet seal: Two sealing lips provide a secure, leak-resistant connection into the mainline without adhesives or clamps.
Swivel lock outlet: Allows drip tape to rotate freely during installation, reducing kinking and speeding up deployment.
Tool-free tape connection: Tape snaps into the swivel lock for fast row-by-row setup and seasonal changeover.
Plastic and rubber construction: Resists UV exposure and common agricultural chemicals.
