Where to find Lasco PVC-1 D2609, connect tubing to a female connector

3 years ago

I made the mistake of buying 5/8" Rain Bird tubing for my sprinklers, and THEN discovered that everything is designed for 1/2" :-( So finding the connectors has been a little bit of a challenge.

What I need now is a connector with a barb that fits the 5/8" tube on one end, and the other end is NPT male that will screw in to the female side of a regular garden hose.

Last year I found this, but now I can't find it and the model number leads me to wrong things:

I'm working from memory that it's Lasco, but I'm not 100% positive. I'm pretty sure it came from Lowes.

This one is straight (the tube is pushed in on the top of the pic, and it's screwed in to an above-ground sprinkler at the bottom), but I've seen others that are an elbow that would actually be better... just none of the ones I've found fit.

Any suggestions where I might find them? I've looked at the local Lowes, Amazon, and Ebay, with no luck.

I went to a third Lowes today, and found this exact part number! It's definitely Lasco. They didn't have any elbows, though, just straight connectors.

But when I got it home, I found that THIS one is a little smaller than a garden hose :-/

So apparently the model number is pretty generic and covers at least 3 different products; the one in the picture that fits a garden hose, ones that I've seen online that are 90 degree elbows, and the ones that I bought today that have the same size barb but a smaller thread size.

Can anyone guess whether the NPT side of this one is a standard garden hose size?

Just as a final update, I DID end up finding the right part at Lowes... hidden in another box, of course, because none of the labels on the shelves were right and pretty much nothing was in the right box. I found one by accident, then spent another 1 1/2 hours going through all of the boxes, one at a time.

Go figure :-/
