FAQs

What size dripline is compatible with this tee connector?

This HydroSure Double Barbed Tee connector is designed specifically for 14mm dripline.

Can I use this in a high-pressure irrigation system?

No, these connectors are optimized for low-pressure micro irrigation systems. Using them in high-pressure systems may lead to leaks or failure.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Ensure the 14mm dripline is pushed firmly and completely onto the sharp-edged barbs of the tee connector. The barbs are designed to create a tight, secure seal.

Are these connectors suitable for outdoor use year-round?

Yes, they are made from UV-resistant materials, which helps protect them from degradation caused by sunlight, making them suitable for outdoor use.

What is the purpose of the 'tee' shape?

The 'tee' shape allows you to split a single line of dripline into two separate lines, enabling you to direct water flow into two different directions from one point.

How many connectors are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 HydroSure Double Barbed Tee connectors.

Troubleshooting

Dripline is difficult to attach to the barb

Slightly warm the end of the dripline in warm water to make it more pliable. Ensure you are pushing the dripline onto the barb, not just the end of the connector.

Water is leaking from the connection point

The dripline may not be fully seated on the barb. Remove the dripline and reattach, ensuring it is pushed as far as possible onto the sharp edges of the barb for a secure seal. Check the dripline for damage.

Reduced water flow from one of the split lines

Check for kinks or blockages in the secondary dripline. Ensure the tee connector is not obstructed. If the main line pressure is too low, splitting the flow may result in uneven distribution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates easy splitting of water flow for flexible irrigation.
  • Secure, leak-proof connections due to sharp-edged barbs.
  • Durable and UV-resistant construction for longevity.
  • Ideal for efficient low-pressure micro-irrigation setups.
  • Economical pack size for multiple projects.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for low-pressure systems; may not be suitable for high-pressure applications.
  • Requires precise insertion into 14mm dripline for a secure fit.
  • Brown color may be less aesthetically pleasing in certain garden designs compared to green or black alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the HydroSure Double Barbed Tee, ensure you have 14mm dripline. Simply push the open end of the 14mm dripline firmly onto the sharp-edged barbs of the tee connector. You may need to wiggle the dripline slightly to get it fully seated. Repeat for all connections.

Compatibility: This connector is specifically designed for use with 14mm dripline. It is optimized for low-pressure micro irrigation systems. It is not recommended for use with standard garden hoses or high-pressure systems.

Care: The connectors are made from UV-resistant materials, requiring minimal care. Periodically check connections for any signs of loosening or damage. If needed, clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the irrigation system is flushed regularly to prevent blockages within the dripline and connectors.
