Toro announces Toro Fittings, a new line of drip irrigation fittings for drip tape, hose and dripline. This newly designed fittings offering from Toro’s agricultural business promises higher-quality construction, better connections and superior performance that growers have come to expect from Toro products.
“With our new line of fittings, growers get not only easy-to-install, superior-quality fittings in popular configurations,” says Sky Anderson, product manager for Toro, “but also revolutionary and innovative fittings, such as the new Flex Connect layflat fittings. All configurations are designed to last for the life of the system, and make installation a little easier and more flexible for the grower.”
Advantages of all Toro Fittings include:
- Superior quality and performance

- Less leaking than other layflat fittings

- Longer runs than 5/8-inch ID tape

“Toro has built its legacy by understanding the needs of growers and developing quality drip irrigation products that address their needs and help them succeed,” says Ralf San Jose, director of marketing for Toro Ag Americas. “This commitment to innovation is reflected in many of our exceptional drip irrigation products, including Aqua-Traxx, FlowControl, and our new highly clog-resistant drip tape, Aqua-Traxx Azul. We are confident that our new Toro Fittings will exceed growers’ expectations, thanks to superior quality, easy installation, tight seal and bright Toro-red tape nuts and valves.”
