Key facts
- What it is
- Raindrip's Smart Loc universal coupling (S5600UB) and its RS2DC spray-to-drip conversion kit with Smart Loc outlets[1][2]
- Tubing
- S5600UB: .520 x .620, .600 x .700 (labeled 5/8 in) and .620 x .710 in (ID x OD). RS2DC's adapter: 1/2 in, 5/8 in or 0.710 in supply tubing or dripline[1][2]
- Fitting type
- Barb with a twist-on locking nut[1]

- Emitters or outlets
- RS2DC: adapter with two Smart Loc swivel outlets[2]

- RS2DC: 150 mesh screen[2]
- Pressure regulation
- RS2DC includes a filter regulator; Raindrip's page gives no outlet pressure[2]
- Maker cautions
- Raindrip: match hose thread to hose thread and pipe thread to pipe thread; mismatched or cross-threaded connections are the main cause of leaks[3]
- Parts the maker lists for it
- RS2DC: 1/2 in FPT filter regulator and an adapter with two Smart Loc swivel outlets[2]
- Maker-page conflicts
- Raindrip's FAQ says its 1/2 in fittings take tubing with an I.D. of .620-.630 in, but the Smart Loc page uses .620 as an OD. Go by the Smart Loc pairs[3][1]
- Not confirmed
- Not confirmedRaindrip's where-to-buy page names no retailers we could read. RS2DC's regulator outlet pressure and pressure rating are not stated, and its technical sheet was not read.
Watch out for
- Smart Loc lists three exact ID x OD pairs, not an OD range. Measure both numbers.
- Raindrip labels the .600 x .700 in pair 5/8 in; DIG and Mister Landscaper call that size 1/2 in.
- RS2DC's page gives no pressure rating and no regulator outlet pressure.
- Raindrip's FAQ figure of .620-.630 in 'I.D.' conflicts with its own Smart Loc page; do not use it to pick a fitting.
