The Figure 8 hose end is used to close the end of drip tubing or drip line and allow easy flushing of a drip irrigation system. Simply slide one loop of the figure 8 into the end of the drip tubing, bend the drip tubing back and insert the end into the other loop of the figure 8 for a leak proof fit. To flush the drip tubing or the drip line, slide the figure 8 over to release the end and flush the line.
