FAQs

What size soaker hose is compatible with these tees?

These tees are specifically designed for 13mm (approximately 1/2 inch) internal diameter soaker hose.

Can I use these tees with regular garden hose?

No, these tees are designed for the specific dimensions of soaker hose and will not create a secure connection with standard garden hose.

How do I install the tee?

Simply cut your 13mm soaker hose and firmly push the cut end onto one of the barbed inlets of the tee. Repeat for any branching points.

Will these fittings degrade in sunlight?

No, they are made from UV-stabilised materials designed to resist degradation from prolonged sun exposure.

What happens if I use too many tees in a single line?

Using an excessive number of tees can reduce water pressure and flow along the soaker hose. Distribute them strategically and consider using a larger diameter main line if extending significantly.

How many tees are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 double barbed tees.

Can I connect more than one hose to each tee?

Yes, each tee has three barbed inlets, allowing you to split a single hose line into three directions.

Troubleshooting

Hose keeps slipping off the barb

Ensure you are using 13mm soaker hose. Clean the hose end and push it as far as possible onto the barb. If the hose is stiff, gently warm it with warm water to make it more pliable before inserting.

Water leaking from the connection point

Re-seat the hose firmly onto the barb. Check the hose end for damage or debris that might be preventing a tight seal. Ensure the hose is fully inserted past the second barb.

Tee is difficult to push onto the hose

This can happen if the hose is cold or slightly undersized. Try warming the hose end in warm water for a minute, or lubricate the barb slightly with water or mild soap. Ensure the hose cut is clean and straight.
