FAQs

What size hose are these elbow connectors for?

These connectors are designed for 13mm soaker hose or 13mm irrigation pipe.

Are these connectors suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are made from UV-resistant materials, making them durable for outdoor environments.

How many connectors are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 double barbed elbow connectors.

Can I use these with standard garden hoses?

No, they are specifically for 13mm soaker hose or 13mm pipe and are not compatible with standard garden hose sizes.

Will these connectors prevent leaks?

Yes, the double barbed design creates a secure, watertight seal when properly installed on compatible 13mm hose or pipe.

Are they easy to install?

They are designed for easy push-fit installation. However, the fit can be snug depending on the hose material.

What is the main benefit of the double barbed edge?

The double barbed edge ensures a more secure and watertight connection by anchoring itself into the pipe wall at two points.

Troubleshooting

Leaking connection

Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto both barbed ends. Check for any debris inside the hose or connector. If the hose is old or stiff, consider warming it slightly in the sun or using a small amount of water as lubrication for a tighter fit.

Difficulty inserting hose

The hose may be slightly too large or stiff. Try gently twisting the hose as you push it onto the barb. Warming the end of the hose in warm water for a minute can make it more pliable.

Connector breaks during installation

Apply steady, firm pressure rather than sudden force. If encountering significant resistance, re-evaluate hose compatibility or try warming the hose end.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your soaker hose or 13mm pipe is clean and free from debris.
  2. Firmly push the end of the 13mm hose or soaker hose onto one of the double-barbed ends of the elbow connector.
  3. Repeat for the other end of the connector with the next section of hose or pipe, ensuring it is also pushed on securely.
  4. For a tighter fit, especially with stiffer hose materials, you may need to gently twist or use a little water as lubrication.

Compatibility:

  • These connectors are specifically designed for 13mm soaker hose or 13mm irrigation pipe.
  • They are not compatible with other hose sizes (e.g., 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, or metric sizes other than 13mm).
  • Ensure your hose material is compatible with push-fit connectors.

Care:

  • The connectors are made from UV-resistant materials and require minimal care.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage, especially after periods of disuse.
  • Clean any debris from the hose ends before inserting them into the connectors to ensure a proper seal.
