Description
Build the route around your growing space
Guide a watering line around corners, connect separate hose lengths and take a branch towards another part of the bed.
This 15-piece irrigation connector pack puts the emphasis on bends and joins: five elbows and four straight joiners, alongside two tees and four end plugs.
For matching ½″-bore irrigation hose. Hose, clips and other watering equipment are sold separately.
Count the shapes your layout needs
The photograph shows the complete selection. It is a fixed mix rather than fifteen interchangeable pieces, so a quick sketch of your hose route helps you check the quantities before ordering.
- At a corner: use one elbow to connect two hose lengths at 90° instead of forcing the tube into a tight bend.
- Between lengths: a straight joiner connects two matching-bore hose ends in line.
- At a branch: a tee provides three connected ports. Each port needs a hose connection, or an unused branch must be closed appropriately.
- At the end: insert a plug into the open hose end. With porous hose, this closes the end while leaving its watering wall to work normally.
Make the connection suit the hose
Check inside and outside sizes
The barbs go inside approximately 13mm-bore tube. The familiar 13/16mm size means about 13mm internal and 16mm external diameter. Tube wall and material also matter, so confirm suitability for insertion-barb fittings.
Push the tube fully home
Turn off and depressurise the water supply before working. Push the hose over the whole barbed tail, towards the fitting body. Select a compatible clip where your hose system needs retention; do not rely on a partly inserted connection.
Leave a relaxed route
Support the tube so its weight or a stretched run does not pull sideways on a joint. Restore water gradually within the system's limits and inspect each connection. These open-passage fittings do not regulate pressure or replace a shut-off valve.
Before you plan the next run
How is this different from the ten-piece pack?
This pack has five elbows and four joiners, compared with two of each in the ten-piece pack. Both selections contain two tees and four plugs. Choose by the individual shapes your hose route needs, rather than by total piece count alone.
Does a 16mm marking mean a 16mm hose bore?
No. In common 13/16mm irrigation sizing, 16mm refers to the outside of the tube and approximately 13mm to the inside. These are matching ½″-bore hose fittings; a hose with a 16mm internal diameter is a different size.
Will a tee water both branches equally?
A tee opens another flow path; it does not balance or meter the water. Hose length, outlets, height and the rest of the system affect delivery along each branch. Plan the runs and any required controls for the watering equipment you use.
Are hose, tap fittings or clamps included?
No. The pack contains only five elbows, four joiners, two tees and four end plugs. Add suitable hose, a matching supply connection and any retention or control components needed for your installation.
