Hydro-rain PVCL-RTL-075 Pvc-lock Release Tool 0.75 Inch

Product Description

The HYDRO-RAIN PVCL-RTL-075 is a dedicated release tool designed for disconnecting 0.75-inch PVC-Lock push-fit fittings without damaging the fitting or the pipe. PVC-Lock fittings use an internal collet mechanism that grips the pipe on insertion. This tool slides over the pipe and into the fitting collar to release that collet, allowing clean removal and reuse of the fitting. Irrigation technicians and plumbing professionals reach for this tool whenever a PVC-Lock connection needs to be broken apart for service, relocation, or system modification. It is sized specifically for 0.75-inch fittings and should not be forced onto other sizes.

This release tool is used in residential and light commercial irrigation systems wherever PVC-Lock push-fit fittings are installed. Typical applications include lateral line repairs, drip zone modifications, and mainline service work. Because push-fit fittings are common in quick-connect irrigation installations, having the correct release tool on hand prevents fitting damage during disassembly and reduces rework time in the field.

Key Features

• Sized for 0.75-inch PVC-Lock push-fit fittings
• Releases the internal collet mechanism without marring the fitting body or pipe
• Allows fittings to be disconnected and reused after removal
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, easy to carry in a service pouch
• Single-purpose design ensures correct engagement every time

Compatibility

Designed for use with HYDRO-RAIN PVC-Lock push-fit fittings in the 0.75-inch size. Consult fitting manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with other push-fit fitting brands before use.

Installation Notes

Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before attempting to disconnect any push-fit fitting. Slide the release tool squarely over the pipe and press firmly into the fitting collar to depress the collet ring, then pull the pipe free while maintaining tool pressure. Do not use pliers or other tools to force the release collar, as this can crack the fitting body. This tool is typically used by irrigation technicians and licensed plumbers working on low-pressure irrigation and water distribution systems.
