FAQs

What is the pressure rating for these connectors?

These HydroSure Nut Lock connectors can withstand water pressure of up to 6 bar.

Can I use these with other sizes of tubing?

No, these connectors are specifically designed for 13-14mm tubing and 3/4" BSP male threads. Using other sizes may result in leaks or connection failure.

Are these connectors suitable for underground use?

While made of durable, UV-resistant plastic, they are primarily designed for visible irrigation connections. For underground applications, it's recommended to use fittings specifically rated and designed for burial.

How do I ensure a leak-proof seal?

Ensure the tubing is cut cleanly and pushed in fully into the connector until it is firmly seated. The double O-ring design provides the anti-leak seal.

What does 'nut lock' refer to?

'Nut lock' refers to the design that uses a threaded nut and internal seals to create a secure, locked, and leak-proof connection with the tubing.

How many connectors are in this pack?

This pack contains 5 HydroSure Nut Lock connectors.

What maintenance is required?

Periodically inspect connections for wear or blockages. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if needed. Ensure tubing remains properly seated.

Troubleshooting

Leaking connection at the tubing end

Ensure the tubing is cut squarely and pushed in fully. Re-seat the tubing or trim the end if it's uneven. Check that the tubing size is precisely 13-14mm.

Leaking connection at the thread end

Ensure the 3/4" BSP male thread is clean and free of debris. Tighten the connection further by hand, but avoid over-tightening which could damage the fitting or thread.

Tubing is difficult to insert

Slightly soften the end of the tubing in warm water or use a small amount of silicone lubricant on the connector's barb. Ensure you are using the correct size tubing (13-14mm).

Connector appears cracked or brittle

This may indicate UV damage or age. Replace the connector. Ensure future installations use products rated for outdoor, UV exposure if applicable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a leak-free water system.
  • Durable and UV-resistant materials for long-term use.
  • Easy and quick push-fit installation process.
  • Compatible with standard 13-14mm irrigation tubing and 3/4" BSP male threads.
  • Maintains consistent water pressure and flow.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 13-14mm tubing sizes.
  • Requires a 3/4" BSP male thread for connection.
  • Pack contains only 5 connectors, potentially insufficient for large systems without reordering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your tubing is 13-14mm in diameter. For optimal results, cut the end of the tubing cleanly and squarely.
  2. Push the end of the 13-14mm tubing firmly into one end of the nut lock connector.
  3. Connect the 3/4" BSP male threaded end of the connector to your existing pipe, valve, or hose fitting.
  4. Tighten the connection securely by hand. The double O-ring seal will engage as you push the tubing in.

Compatibility:

  • Tubing Size: Compatible with 13-14mm LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) or drip line tubing.
  • Thread Size: Fits standard 3/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) male threads.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or blockage.
  • Clean the exterior of the connectors with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the tubing is properly seated in the connector to prevent leaks.
