Description
Keep the hose run connected
Extend a watering line or bring two sound hose ends back together with a simple inline connection.
This ½″ barbed straight joiner fits inside matching irrigation or soaker hose. Two insertion tails meet at a central ringed grip, keeping the hose route straight.
Joiners supplied in your selected pack quantity. Hose, clips and other installation materials are sold separately.
A join between lengths, without a change of route
The matching tails connect two hose ends of the same suitable bore. This is an inline joiner, so choose an elbow or branching fitting instead where the route needs to turn or divide.
For a repair, isolate the water and check the surrounding hose first. A joiner needs sound ends to grip; it cannot repair a hose wall that remains split or perished beside the connection. If cutting out a damaged section leaves the run too short, add suitable hose rather than pulling it tight.
Size matters: common 13/16mm irrigation tube is approximately 13mm inside and 16mm outside. The barb goes into the bore. A 16mm internal-diameter hose is a different size, and matching dimensions alone do not make every hose material suitable.
Make a supported, fully seated joint
Prepare matching hose ends
Turn off and depressurise the supply. Use sound hose of the correct bore and wall type, with enough length to reach the fitting without strain. Follow your hose system's preparation instructions.
Cover both barbed tails
Push each hose end over all the barbs towards the central grip. Fit compatible retaining clips where required by the hose system; a partly inserted tail is not a finished connection.
Check the joint in use
Support the line and restore water gradually within the system's operating limits. Inspect the joint. With porous soaker hose, gentle seepage across the hose wall is its watering action; a loose or spraying connection needs attention.
Choosing and using your hose joiner
Can it join two lengths of soaker hose?
Yes, where both are suitable matching-bore hose for insertion-barb fittings. It connects the open ends in line. It does not seal the porous hose wall or stop the hose releasing water along its length.
Why is it called half-inch and 16mm?
In common 13/16mm irrigation sizing, the tube is approximately 13mm inside and 16mm outside. This joiner fits inside the approximately 13mm/half-inch bore. A hose with 16mm internal diameter is a different size.
Which pack sizes can I choose?
Select 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 50 or 100 joiners using the pack-size selector. Each option contains the same fitting. Hose and clips are not included.
Will it connect two different hose sizes?
No. Both tails are the same size for matching hose bores. Choose a suitable reducing fitting for a size change, a branching connector for another route, or a separate valve if you need flow control.
