Description
Four useful shapes. Five of each.
Keep the basic hose connections together when you are planning, extending or adapting an irrigation layout.
This 20-piece connector pack combines five elbows, five joiners, five tees and five plugs for matching ½″-bore irrigation hose.
The photograph shows one example of each shape. Five of each are supplied. Hose and other system components are sold separately.
Choose by the connections in your plan
Count corners and joins
Each elbow turns a connection through a right angle. Each straight joiner connects two lengths of matching hose. Mark these positions on a sketch before cutting the tube, leaving enough length for full insertion at every tail.
Count branches and open ends
A tee adds a three-way junction, with every port needing an appropriate connection. The five plugs close open hose ends. Your layout may need different quantities of each piece, so check the fixed mix rather than assuming all twenty will be needed.
Check the rest of the system
Allow for your hose, supply connection, retention clips and any outlets or controls. This is a fittings pack, not a complete irrigation kit. Water delivery depends on the supply, run lengths and watering equipment as well as the route.
A branch where the bed needs it
The tee shown connects a continuing hose run to a branch at 90°. Its three barbed tails sit inside the tubes; the fitting is not a click-on garden-hose connector or a flow-control valve.
Use suitable approximately 13mm-bore hose. Common 13/16mm irrigation tube is approximately 13mm inside and 16mm outside. A 16mm internal-diameter hose is a different size.
Isolate the supply, seat the tube over each complete tail and select compatible retention where your hose system requires it. Support the run without stretching or sideways strain, then restore water gradually within the system's limits and inspect the joints.
Illustrative installation. Hose, clips and plants are not included.
Choosing your mixed fitting pack
Are there five of every fitting shown?
Yes. You receive five elbows, five straight joiners, five tees and five end plugs: twenty fittings total. The opening photograph shows the four shapes individually to make their connections easy to see.
How does this compare with the fifteen-piece pack?
The fifteen-piece pack has five elbows, four joiners, two tees and four plugs. This twenty-piece pack keeps five elbows and increases the other quantities to five each. It provides more branch fittings, but neither pack determines the maximum hose length or capacity of your watering system.
Will the plugs stop soaker hose watering?
No. On compatible soaker hose a plug closes the open cut end. The hose wall remains porous and continues to release water as intended. Control the supply separately when you want to stop watering.
Do the tees divide water into equal amounts?
No. These are open-passage junctions, not balancing valves. Branch lengths, height changes, the supply and the connected outlets affect how water is delivered. Check your hose system's requirements when planning multiple runs.
