Nds 1010-05-O Flo-check Breakaway Coupling 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The NDS 1010-05-O is a 1/2-inch orange breakaway coupling designed for use in drip irrigation and low-flow water distribution systems. This fitting provides a secure connection point that releases under excessive force or flow conditions, helping protect downstream components and tubing from damage. The orange color coding allows for quick visual identification during installation and routine service. At 0.05 pounds, the coupling is lightweight and easy to handle in the field. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals are the primary installers of this component.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial drip irrigation layouts where controlled flow management and system protection are required. It is typically installed at lateral line connections or emitter feed points where an automatic breakaway function reduces the risk of line damage from accidental pulls or pressure surges. The 1/2-inch size fits standard drip and micro-irrigation tubing of the same nominal diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed irrigation contractors or landscape technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disconnecting or replacing any coupling. Ensure the tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely before seating into the coupling to achieve a proper seal. Follow all applicable local plumbing and irrigation codes during installation.
