FAQs
What size pipe does this joiner fit?
This joiner is designed specifically for 18mm irrigation pipe and 18mm drip line.
Can this joiner be used for both joining and repairing pipes?
Yes, it is suitable for both connecting two lengths of pipe together or for repairing a damaged section of an existing pipe.
Is this joiner suitable for high-pressure water systems?
This joiner is best suited for low-to-medium pressure irrigation systems. For high-pressure applications, additional securing methods might be necessary.
How do I ensure a watertight connection?
Push the pipe firmly onto both barbed ends until it stops. The double barbed design grips the pipe to create the seal. If you experience leaks, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and check for any damage to the pipe end.
Will this joiner degrade in sunlight?
No, the joiner is made from UV-resistant materials, designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and outdoor elements.
Do I need any special tools to install this joiner?
No special tools are required. It is a simple push-fit connector.
Troubleshooting
The connection is leaking.
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully onto both barbed ends. If the pipe is stiff, try warming it slightly in warm water before insertion. Check that the pipe is the correct 18mm size and hasn't been deformed.
The pipe is difficult to insert.
Slightly warm the end of the pipe in warm water for a few minutes to make it more pliable. Ensure the end of the pipe is cut cleanly and is not damaged.
The joiner feels loose on the pipe.
Confirm you are using 18mm pipe. If the pipe is old or has been stressed, it might have expanded slightly. Try a new piece of pipe or consider using a pipe clamp if permitted by your system design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply push one end of the 18mm irrigation pipe or drip line firmly onto one of the barbed ends of the joiner. Repeat on the other side with the second pipe section. Ensure the pipe is pushed on as far as it will go to guarantee the seal. For easier insertion, especially with stiffer pipe, slightly warming the end of the pipe in warm water can help.
Compatibility: This joiner is exclusively designed for 18mm irrigation pipe and 18mm drip line.
Care: As the joiner is made from UV-resistant materials, minimal care is required. Periodically check connections for security, especially after significant temperature fluctuations or if the system is moved. Clean any visible debris from the joiner if necessary, using a damp cloth.
