Product Information

Full details

This guide is for gardeners and landscapers looking to efficiently expand their irrigation systems. The HydroSure Soaker Hose Reducing Tee offers a reliable way to branch smaller 4mm feeder pipes from a main 13mm pipe, improving water distribution to specific plant areas. A key benefit is the secure double-barbed connection, minimizing pipe dislodgement, though it's important to note the operating pressure limit of 300 kPa to ensure longevity.

FAQs

What pipe sizes does this reducing tee connect?

This reducing tee connects 13mm irrigation pipe to 4mm micro (feeder) pipe.

How many reducing tees are in a pack?

A pack contains 25 HydroSure Soaker Hose Reducing Tees.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The operating pressure should not exceed 300 kPa.

How do I ensure a secure connection?

Push the pipe firmly onto the double-barbed fittings until it is fully seated. The double barb provides extra grip.

Can I use this tee to connect two 13mm pipes together?

No, this is a reducing tee designed to branch 4mm pipe off a 13mm pipe. It has two connections for 13mm pipe and one for 4mm pipe.

Is this product suitable for above-ground use only?

While designed for irrigation systems, it is durable for outdoor use but should be protected from extreme physical damage.

What color is the reducing tee?

The reducing tee is black.

Troubleshooting

Leaking connection

Ensure the 4mm or 13mm pipe is pushed fully onto the barbs. Check for debris on the pipe or barb. If the pipe is old or stiff, it may need warming slightly to ease installation. Ensure operating pressure is within the recommended limit.

Pipe dislodges from tee

The double barb is designed for retention. Ensure the pipe is inserted past both barbs. If the pipe is very loose on the 13mm line, consider using a clamp or ensuring the pipe is fully seated. Do not exceed recommended operating pressures.

Reduced water flow

Check the 4mm pipe for kinks or blockages. Ensure the tee itself is not clogged with sediment. Verify that the overall system pressure is not too low.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables precise water delivery to specific plant zones.
  • Secure pipe connections minimize leaks and disconnections.
  • Cost-effective for expanding irrigation systems with multiple branches.
  • Easy to install with standard irrigation tubing.
  • Durable design for outdoor use.

Cons

  • Operating pressure must not exceed 300 kPa.
  • Only suitable for specific pipe sizes (13mm to 4mm).
  • Requires manual connection and may need additional securing in high-stress areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the HydroSure Reducing Tee, simply push the 13mm irrigation pipe firmly onto the two larger barbed ends. Then, insert the 4mm micro (feeder) pipe onto the smaller barbed end. Ensure the pipes are pushed on fully to create a secure seal. These tees are compatible with standard 13mm and 4mm irrigation tubing. To care for the reducing tees, periodically check connections for any signs of wear or blockage. Clean any debris that may accumulate around the connection points. Avoid exposing the tees to excessive heat or physical damage. Ensure operating pressure remains below 300 kPa.
